You wanted it, so here you go!
Haters!
A few days ago on our social media pages, I asked if I should print a limited run of shirts for our coming 16th album, “Undivine Dethroning”. Judging from your response, you thought it was absolutely necessary!
I appreciate that.
Not only haven’t you heard a single note from it (since we start mixing this bad boy in roughly one goddamn week!), but you KNOW that this album will crush all kinds of genitals, and you want nothing more than to be a representative in the flesh of the brilliant artwork that Seiya of Ogino Design did.
I applaud that.
So, as always… I will take pre-orders until JUNE 6!
That’s exactly 2 weeks from today.
Here’s all the info you need:
– This is the only batch I will print, so you know. Miss out now, miss out forever.
– Shirt brand is Gildan Soft Style (S-3XL. Gildan Heavy Cotton is used for 4XL and higher).
– Price for 1 shirt is 300 SEK, and that includes postage and packaging.
– Payment is made to theprojecthate@gmail.com through PayPal. If you’re a fellow Swede and want to pay through Swish, contact me.
– For the love of all things unholy, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU WRITE A MESSAGE WITH YOUR PAYPAL ORDER THAT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION, IN THIS EXACT ORDER:
– SHIRT SIZE (OR SIZES, IF YOU ORDER MORE THAN ONE)
– FIRST NAME/LAST NAME
– STREET ADDRESS
– AREA CODE/CITY
– COUNTRY
– I ALWAYS confirm your order as soon as I see it. If you haven’t heard from me in 24 hours, something is seriously wrong. Then email me right away at theprojecthate@gmail.com so we can sort out the issue, ok?
– On Monday, June 9th, 2025, I’m sending the orders to the printing company and it will take them some 2-3 weeks to get the shirts to me.
– I’ll start sending everything out to you as soon as they are packed, which should be around the end of June, start of July. I will keep you informed, as always.
– If you live in a shady country as far as your postal service goes (Brazil comes to mind coz quite a few parcels never get to that place for some reason), I absolutely recommend you pay for insured mail. If you want that service, contact me so I can check the extra cost, coz it varies from country to country. I cannot refund your order becoz of how your postal system works. Also, delivery time varies a ton from country to country. Within Europe, a couple of weeks is to be expected. The rest of the world, it can take months. Just so you know. I can’t do shit about this, obviously.
Updates on the mixing process will come in June when we (me and Dan Swanö) have started this process and I have something of relevance to report.
Thanx for the support, you people.
You can now place your orders!
The cover art for “UNDIVINE DETHRONING” is now revealed!
Seiya of Ogino Design truly took my basic idea to a different level, embodying the essence of our 16th album to the fullest.
Just spectacular work.
In a little over 2 weeks, me and Dan Swanö will start the mixing process. He’s already deep into the preparations for it, and we’re very much looking forward to conjure this beast.
You thrilled yet?
You fucken should be.
Ladies and gents! It’s getting closer…
In approximately 5 weeks we will start mixing our 16th album, “Undivine Dethroning”, me and the great Dan Swanö of Unisound.
I’m so eager to get this process started so I can present to you what me and my cronies have been working on since we released “Abominations of the Ageless” back in the end of 2023.
Also, as we reached the budget a while back I have been perfecting the final details for the album and there’s not much more I can do now. It feels absolutely perfect. Mixing this beast will be quite the journey!
It also looks like we can reveal the cover art for this album in a week or two. I’m absolutely stunned with what Seiya of Ogino Design has come up with once again. So, while we wait for that and the mixing to start… Be well out there and we’ll talk soon again, ok?
Last off, if you wanna pre-order the digital copies of this album, you can find all the info you need right here.
Cheers!
Wanna be awesome?
You didn’t participate in the 8th TPH DONATION EXPERIMENT but still wanna get the multiple digital versions of our coming 16th album, “UNDIVINE DETHRONING”, on the day of release (mixing starts in June, 2025, with the great Dan Swanö of Unisound) later this year?
Just put down your pre-order by chipping in a measly 150 SEK through PayPal to theprojecthate@gmail.com.
If you wanna know what “multiple digital versions” means, this here should enlighten you;
– 150 SEK will give you the following digital versions when the album is completed: CD MIX (MP3), CD MIX (FLAC), HDR MASTER 44,1 24 BIT (FLAC), HDR MASTER (INSTRUMENTAL FLAC). Links to the downloads will be e-mailed to you upon release.
Thank you for your support. It means the world to me.
Can someone find my head for me, coz I think it just exploded…
You who have followed our social media during the last hour or 2 have noticed that something has been going on, to put it mildly.
In the car to work this morning I had a discussion with Mrs. K about me not being sure that our 16th album will actually see the light of day in a foreseeable future as the pace of donations has been very slow.
Yesterday we were just over $7000 and today we are at muthafucken $10000!!!
And this is thanx to… ONE… FELLOW… SWEDE!
You read that right. He donated $3000 dollars. THREE. THOUSAND. DOLLARS.
Read that again, coz trust me; I have tried to grasp this the whole day.
148 of you made us reach the budget this time around. A bunch of you have obviously donated way, way more than the asked 150 SEK or we wouldn’t be here. I can never thank you enough. Not even close.
All I can do is put in all of my being into what I create with TPH, this completely egoistical musical vision of mine.
As said, I wasn’t sure this album would come out in 2025 as initially planned. It looked to be the longest running TPH DONATION EXPERIMENT since the start of these Experiments.
It turned out to be the shortest. You made this happen in exactly 100 days.
I can not fucken do this in this way without you. I can not fucken do this in this way without the incredible work that Jörgen Sandström, Ellinor Asp, Lasse Johansson, Dirk Verbeuren and Dan Swanö put in. I can not fucken pay all these people to fulfill my needs for TPH if it weren’t for YOU, the Haters. TPH in this form can absolutely not be done without you, as mentioned tons of times. Always remember that, and be proud of what you make possible, over and over again.
It’s mind-blowing to me.
When I say that a fuckload of weight have been lifted off my shoulders now is an understatement that is borderline illegal.
I can’t remember the exact day when I started to compose for this 16th album, but usually this process happens a few weeks after the release of the “new” album at the time. It just happens when it happens. I never plan for it, and I always think I’ll take an extended break after completing a recording, coz doing TPH is such a beast of a thing to complete. It takes fucken everything out of me, which is exactly how I want it. I want to feel empty when I’m done, coz that means I gave it everything I had.
I always strive to go further into the abyss with every record. I want to push myself harder, I want more layers and details in there. I want to feel even MORE emptiness than the last time an album was completed. With this coming record, I have spent more time composing and working with everything than EVER before. It’s the same story every goddamn time, but I have even surprised myself with how far into lunacy mode I can go without actually becoming a full scholar lunatic, with diplomas and all.
I believe it’s high time to thank my wonderful wife, Kathrin, for baring with me when I go into this state. Coz it’s not often I’m out of it.
With all that said; me and Dan Swanö have now planned to start mixing “UNDIVINE DETHRONING” in June. This means that it should be out by the end of summer, 2025. I can’t say that’s definite coz shit can always happen along the way, but this is what I am going for as far as a release is concerned. I will keep you updated on this when the mixing session starts, of course.
If you feel like getting the album in your mailbox upon release, feel free to pre-purchase the digital versions by PayPal’ing 150 SEK to theprojecthate@gmail.com. I promise to spend the money on Staropramen.
Let’s wrap this up;
I said that when we reach the budget, you’ll get the album title and perhaps even the album cover, remember? Obviously, I thought this would (at best) happen during the summer, haha… The cover art isn’t done but Ogino Design is working on it as I type. As soon as it’s ready, you’ll see it. Hey, at least you got the song titles (those were revealed on social media as we went along) and album title now, that must count for something, huh?
I don’t have much more to say right now as I need to go around the house and see where the fuck my head is coz that last $3000 donation made it explode.
You people are fucken spectacular.
If you ever enjoyed TPH, I guarantee you that “UNDIVINE DETHRONING” will be just as fucken spectacular, and more.
Again; THANK YOU ALL, SO FUCKEN MUCH!!!
