Status!

Hey!

Yeah, your favorite King is back with another quick heads-up from the Hate camp.

Anyway, some of you follow our social media shit, already helped us and know what’s up. You can stop reading now. But that’ll make you less METAL!

As you most likely know, we are currently trying to raise the funds for our 16th album. Some 100+ people have made us reach just over $5000 of the $10000 that I need to be able to hire all the people involved to complete this recording.

But we’re still about $4800 short off target, which is frustrating as all kinds of shit. If you wouldn’t mind spreading the word about the 8th TPH DONATION EXPERIMENT, I’d be grateful. Or if you actually want to help out with a donation, all info you need is to be found here.

Wanna know how the recording is progressing? In short;

Jörgen Sandström’s vocals are completed.

Ellinor Asp has 2 songs left to complete, and she will be done before the end of February.

Candlemass’ guitar phantom Lasse Johansson will put down his solos in February.

I work daily with small details within the music, but my guitars, bass, electronics and orchestras are done.

Dirk Verbeuren is currently putting down his drums.

As soon as we have reached the needed $10000 I can start planning the mixing with Dan Swanö of Unisound. My hope is to get this 16th beast of an album out sometime mid-2025, but it all depends on when we reach the budget, obviously.

So, feel free to spread the word and/or donate so I can fulfill my completely egomaniacal wish of creating the best music I have ever heard, with the best people I can possibly work with.

Thanx for your time.

As you were.

$5000 reached!

It took 22 days to go from $4000 to $5000, but now we’re finally halfway to the monetary target of $10000 needed to complete our 16th album!

If this pace continues, a mid-summer 2025 release is still doable as planned, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that it all works out.

As far as the album recording goes, here’s a quick update:

As you know, Jörgen wrapped up his work some month ago.

Dirk is currently putting down drums.

Ellinor has completed half of the songs and will be done with everything in February.

Lasse of Candlemass will come over to my home studio in February and put down his incredible solos.

My job is done, so I’m just tweaking details on a daily basis to further improve the massiveness of album 16.

The biggest thanx to the 100-something (114 to be exact) of you who have gotten us past $5000. You are spectacular, all of you. If you wanna help us raise the remaining half of the budget, you can find information as for how to do so here.

Jörgen’s vocals are done!

 

And he speaks:

“- That’s a wrap, folks! Buy or die!”

This means Jörgen has completed all of his work for album 16. And to absolutely no one’s surprise, he’s once again showing why he is second to none.

We’re still $6000 short off the budget needed to complete this one, so if you wanna help us, you can find the needed info both here and there.

FOURTH LEVEL REACHED!

Just now, another absolutely amazing individual decided it was time to reach $4000 by donating some $500!

Acts like this from people I don’t even really know is utterly mind boggling, and my gratitude for all of your support is endless.

92 people have now gotten us just above the $4000 level of the needed $10000 budget. Do the math on that.

I have told ya before that album 16 is planned to see the light of day in mid-2025. Seeing how poorly timed the Experiment was launched with Christmas and all, I felt it might be later since reaching the budget in time seemed unlikely.

And now we’re at $4000 in just 21 days!?

You people are spectacular.

I do know these Experiments usually take some 6 months to be successful, though, so I’m not celebrating too hard just yet, haha…

In album related news; Mr. Sandström is about to wrap up his last song. There’s not much to say about the work he’s done, let’s just state that it’s a luxury to work with the best.

His female counterpart, Ellinor Asp, is deep down the abyss of doing her fantastically deranged and beautiful stuff.

Drummer extra-ordinaire Dirk Verbeuren is obviously also hard at work putting down his blasts and beats for TPH.

Guitar phenom Lasse Johansson of Candlemass and I will have a day inside The Dungeon as soon as Lasse’s schedule allows for it, but it’s planned to happen in January/February.

As mentioned earlier; my job at this stage is pretty much finished. After countless of hours/days/weeks/months I am now concentrating on the detail work within the tunes, which is extremely important for the end result that will be album 16. This exact process this time around supercedes everything I have ever done with TPH in the past. It’s a mindfuck and then some.

Please continue to spread the word so we can get to the monetary target sooner rather than later. Here’s the information you need if you wanna do so.

We’ll talk again as soon as something important happens.

In the meantime, thank you so fucken much for your support!

THIRD LEVEL REACHED!

What a great x-mas gift from you guys.

The $3000 level is reached.

77 people have gotten us just across this level. This means that in just 9 days almost a 3rd of the goal is completed.

As I’ve said before, I expected this Experiment to start off way slower considering the time of the year, so thank you very much for getting us this far in such a short time.

Enjoy your holidays and we’ll hopefully talk sooner rather than later.

Cheers!
