Late April update
Over the last month since our last update here, alot of things are in motion... We are almost done with the guitars for the 6th creation of Hate, how about that? You didn't see that coming, did you? We are going to use the coming weeks to make sure everything is in order when it comes to those axes, add some new shit we didn't know was supposed to be there initially, etc etc. Basically we will just work our asses off getting these guitars perfect. A process that is very much enjoyable, to say the least.
So far it sounds outstanding. The material is really something else and many are the times when we listen to what we are currently doing and go "how thew fuck did we manage to do this?". It feels like "Hora" was released just a few weeks ago so to be able to listen to these 7 songs already (though it's very early in the process) and understand that it blows away exactly everything we have done before when it comes to darkness, emotions and pure domination is a feeling you can't beat. Until we record our 7th album, of course.
There's still TONS of work to do with this piece. We haven't completed the lyrics yet, nor do we have any actual song titles, and the other guys in the band need to do their performances as well, naturally. But to start with the guitars was the obvious choice since K can do that in his own studio and everything is already programmed for drummer Mojjo to learn the stuff to anyways, so...
Now you know that the process of creating our 6th (damn, we are veterans!) album is on its way. We have some video footage of the guitars being done and we will post some of that as we go along. We are planning to document this recording as much as possible and if everything goes as planned we'll be able to hand you some clips eventually.
In the meantime, hang around our forums and discuss whatever you wanna discuss with us. We are always around to answer any questions the Haters might have. And don't forget that you can still order "Hora" directly from us, something we would appreciate if you do.

Late March update
In case you haven't noticed, we have closed the "writing for the next album" topic over at our forums. The reason is simple; we are not writing for the new album (except for doing the lyrics) anymore since the material is fucken completed. What's next in store is to record what will be the finest hour of TPH so far.
We will start a new topic that deals with the recording as soon as it has started. We will also try to post some photos and videos for you guys of the process. Dan Swanö is about to enter K's home studio to set up the shit needed to record the guitars. So those will be tracked over the coming days/weeks/months.There's some insane work to be done with these guitars, you will understand when you hear the final result, so it will definitely take quite some time to record and perfect them. Also, we have no idea if StormVox wants to release the next piece. Obviously we have sold shit thanx to non-existing promotion, advertising and distribution - stuff we can't do much about. We have done what we can, but the main work is up to the label if they wanna sell copies, something we have informed them about. But hey, we knew about this and are quite used to it, (man, we worked with Massacre and Threeman in the past, haha), so fuck it. We'll see what happens further down the road with everything label-wise. As usual, we are in no hurry recording this masterpiece. Coz a masterpiece it will be. Hooray!
Now you know that we are definitely hard at work with the coming bastard child of TPH. Are you ready for the 6th installment of The Hate? You have seen nothing yet... Ok, you have seen quite some from us over the years when we think about it, haha...
We still have "In Hora Mortis Nostræ" for sale. Enter the forums for all the info you need when it comes to this. Thanx to everyone who supported us by buying it from us so far, we really appreciate it, you know. Well, we better get going, you guys deserve some new Hate.
Stay (down)tuned!

The first part of doing our next album completed
And that's that. All the 7 songs are now finished. 7 songs of the music you love when it comes to The Hate. It's time to complete the lyrics now, something that will definitely take some time. During the coming months (or more thruthfully; until we actually record the album) we will enhance the material as we go along, making everything even better, more infernal and all-around even more utterly dominating. We dig to work like that, you know.
All vocal parts have been decided and both Jo and J are hard at work with what they will deliver next time. We have even contacted some of the planned guest musicians that we want on the next masterpiece. Some of them being childhood heroes actually. Maybe...
Anyways, keep an eye on our forums for the latest updates in the Hate camp. Videos and shit will come when the time is right and we have started recording what will be our defining moment.

Early February 2008 update from the Hate camp!
Excuse us for taking a month without updating you lot on our activities, which are quite many. There we go, apology made. Well, seriously, we keep everyone who wants to updated over at our forums on a daily basis so we take the apology back. How about that? On a more serious note, this is what's currently happening in the land of Hate:
We are one or 2 riffs short of completing the 7th and final track for the next album. The only reason why this last tune hasn't been finished just yet is lack of time during the last month or so. K's been helping out Grave playing some gig or 2 and he's also recorded the Torture Division demo (with fellow TPH superstar J and Vomitory's Grindmaster Flash Tobben) that you'll all get as a free download shortly at the Torture Division website. Keep yer eyes open for that.
But back to The Hate now...
We are about to finish up all the material for studio album number 6(66), as mentioned. Once again we are quite surprised as for how incredibly good it all sounds. We just have to state it again: It's the best damn thing we have ever written. And yeah, it's actually true too. You'll see when the time comes. There's still ALOT of stuff to sort before we'll start to record this one though. We are about to pick out all the parts where the vocals should be any day now. Jo's been very active with ideas and suggestions for her parts and we just know that some of it will definitely turn some heads. You never saw some of this shit come from us, that's guaranteed. It's only been a few months since the last masterpiece was released so we are really in no rush to complete this one. It feels like we have said this a thousand times, but hey... We'll take all the time we need to make everything completely perfect. To do all the lyrics will definitely take some time as well, but since the hate against everything that is holy is endless, this will be done in our usual, glorious manner.
"Will Stormvox release the next album?" we hear you ask. We haven't even discussed that yet so that remains to be seen. Hopefully they have been sorting out their distro-deals now coz the amount of mails we get from people who are asking as for where to find the latest album show that there's definitely an interest and a demand for what we are doing. You can always order the thing directly from us though, remember that. All the information you need is at the forums of ours. It'ss prolly be way faster to do it like that.
Bassist Michael is a stark raving lunatic, we have to mention that as well. He's obviously going to do some mindblowing shit (again) on the next recording. The ideas he's handed over to K are just those of pure insanity. That guy IS bass personified. You'll see, as always when it comes to that madman. It's always nice to see someone with an endless stream of ideas, someone who continously pushes himself beyond all limitations.
This is an update made just so you know what the fuck we are up to. Now we'll get that last song down and start working out all the remaining details so we can start recording this asap. Stay tuned here and at our forums for daily updates on our activities. Thanx so much for the infernal support you Haters show us. We appreciate it and it makes us work harder and harder for every album.

Early January update
As you have noticed, we have been a little silent here as of late. That's all thanx to not having access to the goddamn net for a month or so due to the incompetence of Swedish phone and internet companies. First off we wanna thank our fantastic webmaster Marko Saarelainen for throwing in some stuff here at the site and helping us out with so much promotion while we have been internetless. He is the king, we tell you. Thanks sister, it's a pleasure to have you work with us.
"In Hora Mortis Nostræ" has been out now for a few months and as always the reactions are mixed, just as expected. We know we have made a fantastic album and obviously the Haters understand that as well. Thanks for the awesome mails and everything that we have received from you guys and girls over the months, stating your admiration for what we do. We appreciate it more than we can express with words. Again, thank you so much.
So, let us tell you what's up now in the Hate camp. We have 5 and a half song completed for the next piece of domination and yes, you guessed it, it's sounding fucken fantastic. We will definitely raise eyebrows with some of the stuff. A few of the things we have in store for you is pretty much something you didn't see coming from us. And we like it like that. We have no boundaries. These tracks are definitely the best material we have ever written. We are supposed to state that, you know. Every band do, but the difference is that in our case it's actually true, haha... We are aiming for 7 tracks this time around as well, and with close to 50 minutes already written - things are going so good it's quite insane. Maybe we will get around to actually do some videos and shit during the process, we'll see. Make sure to keep an eye on the forums of ours since that's the place where we announce the latest stuff in-depth all the time.
Again, thanx for the support guys, each and everyone of you. Needless to say that you are phenomenal. Feel free to buy the new album directly from us, we sure could need that. Now let us continue to work with the coming slab of Christ hating music.

Reviews for "In Hora Mortis Nostræ"
Well, don't expect raving amount of 'em yet, neither do we. The official distribution for Scandinavia just started and we have no idea when distro for other parts of the world will be sorted. Either way we've encountered few random words about the album here and there and even located couple of actual reviews from the depths of Internet. Here's links to ya:
1. IHMN @ Brutality
2. IHMN @ Chambersmagazine (in finnish, translation here)
3. IHMN @ MetalReviews
If you know any other parties who reviewed the album, feel free to post that link to our forums (requires registeration).

TPH back catalogue in discount
Well, at least for the lucky Finns. It looks like Anttila, one of the largest department stores in Finland, has our Threeman catalogue in sale for ridiculously cheap price. "Killing Hellsinki", "Hate, Dominate, Congregate, Eliminate" and "Armageddon March Eternal" all have their price set to 3,99 euros. Now if that ain't a good bargain, then we don't know what is. So if your TPH collection needs refilling this would be the time for it.

Writing for the new album already started
Just a quick one for you Haters... We are deep, and we mean deep, into writing for the next album. You can follow the process at our forums, link here: globaldomination.se/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4391

Ordering info update - no more Paypal
We are no longer taking PayPal orders for the new album. If you still wanna buy it directly from us, head over to our forums and you'll find all the information you need.
/ The Hate, October 11th, 2007
A reminder
If you are not content with just stealing the album on the net now when it's leaked, you can buy the real thing (we promise you it's worth it - it's got pictures and... stuff) directly from us.
Check out our forums for more details. If you're more into using Paypal than snailmail, you might want to check this out as well: I'm a fucken link.

Late September update
We wanna thank everyone who came to the releaseparty for "In Hora Mortis Nostræ" last weekend. We had a blast meeting up all of us for the first time ever. Of course we missed Jo, but hey... We guess we have to make a new album real soon and throw another party so she can join in and make up for it, right? Thing is, we have already started working on that. The next album, that is, not the party.
StormVox just informed us that they are closing the distribution deal any day now and the albums should be easier to get hold of in the near future. First off they are concentrating on Europe, we have no words on the States yet. Not that it matters much since everyone can always buy the album directly from us. You have all the info you need available at our forums. Just point, click, hate - voilá, there you go.
If you wanna see some photos from the party, those are also located at the forums. So a wise decision would be to... uhm... go there and look for them.
Still no leakage of the album, which is fantastic. It feels great to be the one band that actually managed to prevent the album from getting out on the net before the actual release, just as we expected. It's nice to dominate, that's for sure. It should be on there any day now, go steal it, love it and then send us an e-mail stating your relentless admiration for what we have accomplished. We know, we deserve it for creating "IHMN".
Also, if you wanna stay up to date with everything Hateful, always keep an eye on our forums (we can't stress that enough) since we are there on a daily basis. That's more than we can say about the updates here, even if we actually kinda rule with those as well.
Until next time, stay emo.

And Damnation is forced upon the weak
The reason that we have decided to share this tune with you is simple. We managed to keep the album from leaking until the releasedate, and even a few days more... We definitely made history by doing this. Congrats to us. And now, when we are starting to send out promos - the album will be leaked any given day... That's why we want you guys to hear a full tune, for the first time, coming from us - becoz we have chosen to give it out to the Haters, not becoz of some magazine ripping it and sharing it. This feels great. It's nice to dominate.
Another reason to share this tune is becoz you already heard a bit of it and we thought it'd be fun for you to hear it in its entirety. Quite some difference between the versions, huh?
We also decided to post the lyrics at our forums for you since we appreciate the support you guys show us.
Anyways, we know you'll dig this. Enjoy.
