Obviously, this is the look of focus and endless determination. Sitting inside The Dungeon with headphones on, paying attention to every little detail within the music.
There might be a bit of insanity involved as well, I guess.
I can’t even begin to fathom how many hours/days/weeks/months I have spent over the last year looking exactly like this on the journey of creating and completing “Death Ritual Covenant”. And to be able to do this thanx to you guys who made the 4th TPH Donation Experiment a success is invaluable to me. I raise my glass in your honor.
With that out of the way, I just wanna let you Haters know that we are moving forward big time now with this last stretch of finalizing this album. If nothing fucks up I’m positive we will be done with “DRC” by the end of July! This means you’ll get to hear what we have accomplished sometime in (probably late) August since there’s quite a few things to arrange apart from just getting the album ready. You know; proofreading the lyrics in the booklet and accompanying layout texts a couple of hundred times (and still most likely miss out on some typo that we’ll discover a year later, goddamnit!). Minor things like that.
So, keep your fingers crossed things will continue to go as smooth as it has up to this point, ok?
Once again I wanna thank Dan Swanö of Unisound AB for the incredible work he’s done so far. This production easily ranks up among the best we’ve ever had. I truly love working with Dan. The way he approaches the material and enhances it is just second-to-none. Thanx, D! You’re a hero in the flesh.
If you wanna pre-order the digital versions (yes, versions) for a mere 150 SEK, you can simply PayPal that sum to theprojecthate@gmail.com and you’ll be on the list for absolute destruction when the time comes.
Now you know where we’re at. We’ll talk soon again.
So, Haters!
This is where we are at. If all goes well, and as it looks right now, “Death Ritual Covenant” will be completed during July, 2018. With all the small additional things that comes with the album’s release, my hopes are for it to be presented to you sometime in August then. It might be later, or it might go according to plan; we’ll simply have to wait and see how everything pans out. Have in mind it’s vacation times and whatnot right now, so…
I am incredibly satisfied with what we are creating and if you ever dug us before, well, you’ll definitely dig this beast.
While we continue to work on completing “DRC”, you guys stay tuned for more news as I have them.
Be well, and huge thanx for the support!
Haters!
As always, just becoz you haven’t heard from Hate HQ in a week or so doesn’t mean we’re not working our asses off with the completion of “Death Ritual Covenant”. Certainly not!
As you can see, we’re drinking stuff that makes us relax and focus to make sure what we’re serving up with this coming piece of TPH history surpasses all of our expectations. And safe to say, we’re getting there. Bit by bit, day by day.
Due to busy schedules, injuries, life and whatnot; this mixing process is taking the time it needs to be completed. As mentioned thousands of times – it’s not like I am going to rush this last part of finalizing everything. The plan is still to have it out this summer.
I am currently working with Mr. Swanö of Unisound AB fame on a daily basis, but it’ll take yet a little while before you can hear what we have in store. There are so many aspects on this piece that needs surgical precision attention from us to really shine through, more so than ever, and it takes its sweet time to perfect that stuff. Just hang in there. You know it will be worth the wait.
If you feel like pre-ordering “Death Ritual Covenant”, this very site has all the info as for how to do so. Just look for it.
Important question: are you guys possibly interested in digipaks for “Death Ritual Covenant” when the time eventually comes for that? You can use our Facebook page to chip in on this matter.
I feel like checking coz I still got a bunch of digipaks lying around for our last album, “Of Chaos And Carnal Pleasures”, so I’m not sure how big the interest in those things is anymore. Ordering info for one of those is also available at our official site if you haven’t got one in your possession already.
If you’re eager for some new music courtesy of myself and TPH vocalist Jörgen Sandström that is not actually TPH, don’t forget to check out the stuff we are releasing right now with our new band Domedagen. You can find the tunes over at our official Facebook page; Domedagen. That should keep you occupied for a bit. Feel free to spread the word.
Anyways, back to work on “DRC”. We’ll talk more when there’s something to say.
Be well, Haters!
So, Haters; this is where we are at concerning the mixing process of “Death Ritual Covenant”.
Hero Dan Swanö of Unisound AB has been hard at work as of late and I can reveal we have mixed approximately 90% of 5 out of 6 songs appearing on the album at this point! And it sounds absolutely massive. Huge props to Dan for the dedication to this, as always. He puts in so many amazing details, things I’d never be able to come up with myself, raising the insanity of the tunes even more. Thank you, Dan! It’s a pleasure to work with you.
What I am doing currently is going through everything using my Cerwin Vega speakers and my 4 pair of headphones, to make sure “Death Ritual Covenant” sounds great in all of them. Coz you know, everything might sound excellent in one of these settings, while you notice you need to make some changes when you use a different one. Not until it sounds great in all of these mediums the work will truly be finished. This way of working is something Dan taught me many years ago, and it really makes a difference. Obviously we still have quite a bit of work left before you can hear what we have summoned this time around, but be sure we’re plowing towards completion day by day.
It’s nice to see that the initial plan of having “DRC” released during the summer of 2018 still holds up, and hopefully nothing fucks that up now during this last stretch. If you haven’t yet pre-ordered the digital versions, feel free to do so. Click this link and scroll down a little for ordering information. I’ll, as always, continue to inform you about how everything is going so continue to keep an eye out on this page as well as at our Instagram (@tph666).
Be well, and we’ll talk soon again when there’s something of relevance to report.
Wreaking havoc, mixing audio blasphemy and generally creating a beyond fantastic album once again, that’s what’s up right now.
Me and Mr. Dan Swanö are halfway into the process of completing “Death Ritual Covenant”. 3 songs pretty much done for this round of the session. But there’s still quite some ways to go before it’s officially done. If all goes well, it WILL be out this summer. So, stay tuned for this beast.
Oh, one more thing…
If you wanna pre-order the digital versions (yes, versions) for a mere 150 SEK, you can simply PayPal that sum to theprojecthate@gmail.com and you’ll be on the list for absolute destruction when the time comes.
Not a bad deal at all, huh?
Once again, huge thanx to all of you who have made this album a reality through the TPH DONATION EXPERIMENT 4.
