Kollaps

We remain on the road for one final show as we return to Berlin at Urban Spree where we will perform both a full independent set and also perform an additional, improvised set with Trepaneringsritualen during which a live flesh piercing ritual will take place courtesy of BLVCK ACID KVLT & Indigenak Suspension Team

TREPANERINGSRITUALEN & KOLLAPS
11 May 2026 — Urban Spree, Berlin
Presented by Aufnahme + Wiedergabe

Trepaneringsritualen and Kollaps meet in Berlin for a newly added performance at Urban Spree on 11 May 2026. Both projects will present full independent sets, followed by a dedicated collaborative work.

During this final performance, a su***de suspension will be executed by and suspension team. The suspended body and the mechanical apparatus will be fitted with contact microphones, capturing tension, strain, friction, resonance, and structural movement in real time and integrating these signals directly into the live sound field.

Flesh, metal, hooks, cable, gravity, and support structures function as active elements within a single system. Mechanical pressure is converted into vibration, vibration into signal, and signal extended into the environment. The collaboration unfolds under continuous load, where body, apparatus, and amplification operate without separation.

Kollaps and Trepaneringsritualen approach sound through sustained force, repetition, and intensity, bringing percussive structure and ritual practice into direct contact within a shared field of transmission and exposure.

Kollaps is an Australian post-industrial project whose history is inseparable from violence—both as subject matter and as physical methodology. Formed on the periphery of collapse and personal disintegration, the project has cultivated a reputation for performances that are confrontational, ascetic, and unwavering in their commitment to realism. The band has recently relocated to Iceland, a move that reflects its ongoing pursuit of isolation, severity, and a more unforgiving creative environment.

The live apparatus centres on a set of morgue-derived instruments and implements: blood- and saliva-stained headrests, knee pins, hacksaws, throat expanders, and other devices once used to manipulate, open, and restrain the human body. These objects are not symbolic. They function as percussive tools and structural components in performance, carrying the residue of their original purpose into the project’s sonic architecture.

Since its inception, Kollaps has maintained a relentless touring history across Europe and beyond, appearing at major festivals including Roskilde, Roadburn, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Soulcrusher, and other significant institutions within the industrial, experimental, and extreme-music circuits. On stage, Kollaps operates less as a traditional band than as an apparatus of tension and rupture, constructing compositions from metal fatigue, concrete pressure, ruptured electronics, and recurring motifs of decay.

Kollaps represents a form of post-industrial music that rejects nostalgia in favour of excavation: unearthing the mechanical, the biological, and the violated. It is a documentation of harm, endurance, and the machinery of the body—ultimately, a study of disappearance and the residue left behind when civility is stripped away.

Kollaps will be performing a single show during 2025 which will take place in Mosfellsbær in Iceland as part of the Ascension Festival Iceland lineup.
