If you wanna skip the ranting of Your King and just get to the crucial part, scroll down to the red text!
Greetings and Salutations, Haters!
It’s been quite a while since we last talked so let’s get right into it, shall we?
Almost 5 months ago we released out 14th album, “Spewing Venom into the Eyes of Deities”. To be very humble about it, we sure delivered something beyond spectacular! Huge thanx for all the e-mails and feedback, showing your love for this beast of a recording. Still to this day I couldn’t be happier with it and it truly puts a smile on my old face to see how much of a liking you heroes take in our latest creation.
None of you seem to have leaked it onto the Internet either, which is extremely surprising since it’s been, as mentioned, 5 months already. Either way, I truly appreciate it coz by now you all should know that the albums I make with TPH these days are only meant for you who make it possible to create them through your donations, meaning I can actually pay everyone involved for their efforts and realize my musical vision to the best of my capabilities.
It’s nice to see all of you treating it like that, like your own private possession, at least up to this point in time.
It never made sense to me why someone would want to support a TPH album by donating and then hand it out to everyone so they can just steal it instead of buying it from me, you know. Our sales are pretty much non-existing, and obviously that’s not why I do this, but every sold copy (digital or physical) is welcomed since it eventually gets me a beer or a pack of strings, haha… You know, stuff that helps creativity big time… like… beer or… strings.
Now when I have gotten all this shit out of the way, let’s get to the real reason for this post, huh?
This time around, for reasons unknown to man, I have received way more e-mails than usual asking about physical digipaks. Is CD making its way back? I dunno about that, but it’s nice that you ask for it! And you know me, I aim to please like a muthafucker. Just ask my wife.
This means that digipaks are right now being made for “Spewing Venom into the Eyes of Deities”!
Everything was sent to the digipak manufacturing company today and I should have these in my possession, ready to be shipped out, in some 3-4 weeks (that would be like the first week of May if nothing goes haywire)!
So, you may now put in your orders if you feel like owning yet another piece of TPH history in limited edition physical format. Happy times, huh?
– Since the world is not really what it was a year or two ago when I last made digipaks (Swedish postage is raised, prices for padded envelopes are up, manufacturing digipaks cost more, PayPal fee, etc) I will unfortunately have to charge a little more for them now in 2022 compared to previous editions.
– Printing such low quantities as a couple of hundred discs is also more costly per digipak than a larger quantity, naturally. But I can’t have a few hundred unsold digipaks laying around the house to no good use. You’ve heard pretty much all of this before and I’m sure you understand the situation.
What I will also do this time around is to limit how many digipaks you can buy, becoz of this;
– People have informed me that there are cunts at various sites who charge insane amounts for older, sold out TPH albums that I’ve released through the TPH imprint Mouth Of Belial Productions. I’m guessing these come from people who buy more than 1 copy for the sole reason of selling them to make a profit, hindering a “real” TPH supporter to buy the album in question when I have it up for sale. I rather that you get the album from me at the normal price. That’s all.
So, you will only be able to buy ONE copy. Again, that is… ONE COPY per person.
Hopefully this gives any Hater that truly wants this digipak for “Spewing Venom into the Eyes of Deities” a fair chance of getting one of these very limited gems without going bankrupt. I’m sure you understand this too.
PRICE: (THIS INCLUDES POSTAGE AND PACKAGING TO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD):
Make a note that says “DIGIPAK SPEWING”, and for the love of all things unholy: MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS IS IN THE NOTE when you pay! You’d be surprised if I told you how many of them orders in the past have had no address attached which makes for extra work that I definitely can do without.
Also, and this is unfortunately very important;
– Parcels to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are, according to the Swedish Postal System, unlikely to get to their recipients.
– If you’re in a country that is shady to some extent when it comes to delivering your mail I STRONGLY advice you to pay for registered mail. Depending on where you live in this world it’s somewhere between 8-14 US dollars. If you wish to do this you need to contact me about it so I can check the exact cost for it. Please understand that I can’t take any responsibility for your package to arrive after I have mailed it out. If it’s lost, it’s lost. You’ll have to talk to your local postal office about any issues if/when they occur. That shit is out of my hands.
If you’re a fellow Swede and wanna pay through Swish or whatever, just contact me through theprojecthate@gmail.com and we’ll figure things out.
Last off; I ‘d like to extend the hugest “thanx!” to all of you who have asked for physical copies to be made once again, just like so many times in the past. I truly cherish the support shown from the start of every TPH Donation Experiment to this; the final stage when the album in question becomes a real thing that you can actually touch.
I’m not taking anything of this for granted and all of this is happening becoz of YOU, the Haters. I can never state that enough.
TPH is what it is becoz you make it possible. Take that to heart. I definitely do.
I’ll keep you updated as/if/when the amount of available digipaks start to run out, so you know.
That’s that! Spread the word so I can get rid of these digipaks and we’ll talk later.
“Spewing Venom Into the Eyes of Deities” was unleashed recently to everyone who pre-ordered and/or donated to the 6th TPH Donation Experiment, and now it’s time to tell the rest of you that this beast is hereby officially roaming the digital Earth, ready to be purchased! If you donated/pre-ordered and for some reason haven’t gotten the email with your download instructions, check your spam section and if it’s not there; get in touch with me right away through theprojecthate@gmail.com so we can correct the mishap.

“Spewing Venom Into the Eyes of Deities” is mixed by Your King and the legend Dan Swanö and it’s mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound. Artwork and booklet is designed by the extremely talented Seiya Ogino at Ogino Design. I want thank them both for their amazing work on all accounts, just like I want to thank everyone involved musically with this album; Jörgen Sandström, Ellinor Asp, Dirk Verbeuren, Lasse Johansson, Simon Johansson and Johan Längquist.
And of course I wanna thank all the Haters who donated and made us reach the budget needed to make “Spewing Venom Into the Eyes of Deities” a real thing.
All of you men and women mentioned are very, very special to me.
A not-so-small taste of the brilliance that makes up this beast of an album can be heard in this super-expensive lyric video. If that doesn’t convince you to buy this 14th album of ours, well… you need to do better in life.
Last off; expect no hardness.
Thank you all for the support.
“Spewing Venom Into the Eyes of Deities” is dedicated to the memory of L-G Petrov.
Day, date and year: Friday, the 29th of October, 2021.
Status: Playing a board game with the missus and enjoying a glass of the fine Japanese Nikka Whisky From The Barrel.
Reason: It’s time to celebrate.
“SPEWING VENOM INTO THE EYES OF DEITIES”, THE 14TH ALBUM IN TPH‘S DISCOGRAPHY IS COMPLETED!
And wow! Just wow, what a journey it’s been.
Me and Mr. Swanö over at Unisound have been mixing for almost 2 months, you know. That’s by faaaaaar the longest I have ever spent on a mix and I believe it truly shows in all areas. Not to mention the time spent on actually composing this fucken thing! There is such an insane amount of details that you’ll be in for a treat if you even discover half of it. I guarantee you that few people work harder than I do with this music thing. Even fewer people can actually do this.
So far I haven’t met any of them. I’m King for a reason, you know.
As I have said before; after 22 years I fully get that most people will never understand what I am doing with TPH. And it’s completely irrelevant to me. This is not created for them. This is not created for the so-called “masses”. This is created for myself and for you wonderful fucken people who donated and made it a possibility for a 6th time. Does “Spewing venom into the eyes of deities” deserve to be recognized and revered, though? Of course.
Bottom line is; I can’t be fucken happier with the result.
We have brought TPH to yet another level and once again I want to thank everyone involved for giving a shit helping me realize my musical vision. As stated a million times; I am definitely one lucky bastard to have the incredible monetary support from a couple of hundred people to be able to fund everything and get to have this personnel involved with the album; Jörgen, Elli, Dirk, Lasse, Johan, Simon, Dan, Marko and Seiya! Mind fucken blown.
THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOO FUCKEN MUCH!
“Spewing venom into the eyes of deities” is as close to perfect that it can possibly be. To me. And that is everything I strive for, each and every time we do a TPH album. As said, I have put more hours into this than I can count and I have neglected my fantastic wife, Kathrin, more than what’s reasonable in the process, really. I definitely need to make up for that in the coming months, but I also want to thank her for understanding me, putting up with my shit and supporting me when I get into full-on TPH mode where basically everything around me stops existing and all I live and breathe is creating TPH to the best of my capabilities. Yeah, she is fucken remarkable and deserves a round of applause.
So, I know you want to hear this masterpiece yesterday, but it’ll still be a little while before it ends up in your mailboxes, coz even if the mixing and mastering is now completed there’s still some work to do with sorting out all the digital formats that you’ll get, creating the download site for it and making sure everything works as it should with the downloads, etc, etc.. So just hang in there. If everything goes according to plan it will be in your hands sometime in November. I can’t say when exactly, but you’ll notice when it happens, ok? There won’t be an announcement when this goes down, it’ll just magically be available on your computer when you least expect it.
In the meantime, if anyone wants to order “Spewing venom into the eyes of deities” (I’ll spend the money on my wife for obvious reasons, so it’s for a great cause), you can do so by throwing a mere 150 SEK over PayPal to theprojecthate@gmail.com and it will arrive in your inbox on the day of release. 150 SEK will give you all kinds of digital versions. 1 hour, 19 minutes and 46 seconds of fantastic music for 150 SEK (that is something like 17-18 dollars). One could say I’m fucken worth it, yes?
If you want to know more about the actual digital formats included with your purchase, click the following link (scroll down and look for the section marked in red to find it easily).
Stay glued to your inboxes and get ready to be fucken destroyed, coz “Spewing venom into the eyes of deities” is plain and simple spectacular.
Excited yet? You should be. It’s soon upon you; the most massive TPH work to date.
Be well, my friends.
