I once again wanna thank you people who made it possible through your donations, and I also wanna thank the 50-somethng heroes who have actually bought it after its release when you just as easily could have stolen it off the net. I appreciate it very much.
You can of course still buy the album. Just follow the instructions in the picture. I usually send the download info seconds after you’ve ordered it, but sometimes I actually sleep too, so… if you for some weird reason haven’t heard from me within 24 hours after placing your order – contact me at theprojecthate@gmail.com immediately so we can set shit straight, ok?
Moving on…
I have addressed this numerous time but here we go again; quite a few of you have been asking for digipaks and when they will be available for pre-ordering. At this point, I don’t know, really.
With the state the world is in right now I don’t think buying digipaks (nor downloads, obviously) is of anyone’s priority, which is very understandable. If there’s a demand for digipaks they could be made eventually, but it’s such a dicey process not knowing if I can get rid of them or not, so… yeah. It is what it is. I’ll let you know what happens with this, if anything, as always.
What else…
Yeah, you people who email me asking for a free copy to play on your “Internet Radio Show”, or you who want a free copy to review on your “respected metal blog”… you can stop sending those emails. I do not make music to have you review it.
Don’t get me wrong though; write about it all you want if you feel like it, just don’t ask me to send you free copies for that purpose. I don’t do TPH for you.
I do this for myself, and it’s all possible becoz of you who donate some of your hard-earned cash to the cause of me being able to have everything professionally executed. So obviously it’s also being made for those who enjoy the TPH formula to such an extent they wanna help out financially. That’s all there is to it.
A few more things…
I am obviously not very active on our social media platforms unless I have something of (somewhat) importance to announce, so if you have any questions/comments and you put them on these platforms, do not expect a reply. But feel free to comment if you prefer that over emailing.
If you want to get in touch with me and let me know how much you love/hate “Purgatory”, or if you have any TPH questions in general; send me a mail at theprojecthate@gmail.com and I’ll get back to ya when I can.
It’s time to wrap up this rant…
I’m so proud of “Purgatory” and the fact I once again had the honor of working with all these absolutely amazing people to make my musical vision with “Purgatory” a reality. And I’m extremely lucky to have the support of you guys; The Haters.
Stay safe out there and we’ll talk again eventually.
Cheers!
Welcome “Purgatory”!
The amount of work that has gone into this album exceeds anything I have done before and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I won’t take up too much of your time now, I just want to get a few choice words out there.
Considering today’s state of the world, hopefully this 80 minute behemoth will help you forget all the shit that is happening right now for a moment or two. Wherever you are, I hope you people are doing ok.
This is our 13th album. That is quite the milestone. And as with the past 4 albums, this one wouldn’t have been possible without the monetary support from you; The Haters. I can never thank you enough, as you know by now. It was an extremely slow process to reach the $10000 budget, but you made it happen once again.
I’ll never take that for granted, and it blows my mind to have this support from you people.
My eternal gratitude goes out to Jörgen Sandström, Ellinor Asp, Dirk Verbeuren, Lasse Johansson, Dan Swanö and Marko Saarelainen for their involvement with this recording. You are all second to none and absolutely invaluable to my concept and vision that is TPH of today. I also raise my glass to Johan Längquist (vocals) & Fredrik Folkare (guitar solo) for their guest contributions. I’m so honored all of you took the time out of your schedules and helped shaping “Purgatory” to what it is.
With that said, let me wrap things up by saying that if you, for some reason, want to get in touch with me and let me know how much you love/hate “Purgatory”; do so by using theprojecthate@gmail.com.
I will not be very active on our social media platforms unless I have something of importance to announce, so if you have any questions/comments and you put them on those platforms, do not expect a reply. But feel free to comment if you prefer that over emailing.
If you want to support the insane amount of hours I have spent on this album, please buy the album’s multiple digital versions (CD mix MP3, CD mix FLAC, High Dynamic Resolution Master FLAC 44.1 24 bit and HDR Instrumental FLAC) for a mere 150 SEK by transferring that amount over PayPal to theprojecthate@gmail.com and your download instructions will be sent to you as soon as I see the payment.
Enjoy the 80 minutes of absolute brilliance that “Purgatory” holds, take good care out there and we’ll talk eventually.
Cheers!
The time of PURGATORY is coming.
Another week spent mixing our 13th album together with the great Dan Swanö of Unisound is in the books and I’m closer than ever to wrap this up. Still need a little more time to do the detail work, but those tweaks are far and between now. I’m narrowing them down day by day and it feels fucken fantastic.
The iPod and my Sennheiser IE80’s are ready for a run-through of the latest mix and after that it’s time to let this beast blast thru the Cerwin Vegas once again so I can check that the tweaks sound as good in those as in the headphones.
But as said; we are close now. Tell me how stoked you are. Or don’t.
Take care of each other out there.
Mr. Dan Swanö of famed Unisound has been working his ass off creating a fucken phenomenal production and I am working the tiny details to make it perfect according to my vision.
You’ll still have to wait a bit until you get to hear the masterpiece that is “Purgatory”, coz rushing this last crucial part would make zero sense, you know. I couldn’t be happier with how this is unfolding.
Also, all shirts and hoodies have been sent out as announced earlier. Have any of you heroes received yours yet? Lemme know.
Have a great weekend, Haters. I need to get back to work here.
Cheers.
Mr. Swanö of Unisound just sent over the first track and I wish I could tell you how floored I am right now when it comes to the production. God fucken damn! Obviously Mr. Swanö knows me quite well by now coz this is the fist time, I believe, I had exactly zero things I want to change. He fucken nailed it!
And that bass sound… That muthafucken bass sound. It will put hair on your balls.
Again, I’m floored. Fucken fantastic.
The last part is now happening and in a while “Purgatory” will be yours.
You can now now take a bow to Your King.
