The Love Kills Theory bandleader releases 'A Hole In The Head,' an
hour long documentary about trepanation - the process of boring a hole
in the skull
Cevin Soling, perhaps better know as the leader of NY-based
alternative punk, rock band The Love Kills Theory, announced the
release of 'A Hole In The Head,' a documentary about trepanation - the
process of boring a hole in the skull. Cevin Soling is the producer of
the hour-long film, which won the Best Documentary Award at both the
Atlantic City Film Festival and the Brooklyn International Film
Festival. A Hole In The Head was broadcast on the Discovery and
Learning Channels and is now available on DVD.

"I first became aware of trepanation through an interview with Paul
McCartney who mentioned that John Lennon wanted to have it done and
suggested that the two of them have the operation," recounted Cevin.
"I later learned more from a book by author Donna Kossy who indicated
the procedure might actually work to expand consciousness. It was the
fact that it might have beneficial effects to enhance one's state of
mind that intrigued me. Amazingly, no one had done a proper study to
find out the veracity of the claims, so I decided to make the film to
find an answer."
A Hole In the Head examines the development of "modern" trepanation as
used by people in the United Kingdom, the United States, and The
Netherlands for the purpose of attaining a higher level of
consciousness. Interviews regarding the history and efficacy of the
procedure are also held with some of the world's most respected
neurosurgeons and anthropologists.
"Trepanation as a procedure has been around for thousands of years and
was not performed for the superstitious reasons some attribute today.
I hope that the film teaches people not to infantilize our ancestors
and also to appreciate just how far back attempts at seeking to expand
consciousness go."
