Here we go again…

Ruby is now back from vacation and will resume her vocals, which is great. In a week or so J should also continue his work as studio owner Joppe returns from his visit to the States. We are moving along just fine and are completing this album step by step in a regular pace. Keep checking out our forums for the latest updates and do not forget what you need to do to get this album when it’s finished. And remember the signs…

Thanx to everyone who’s supported this cause so far. You are all phenoms.

It’s time for you…

… to open up your eyes. The signs are getting more and more clear. What do you make of it? Now all you need to do is follow the process closely and see what it eventually leads you to. Do not forget what you need to do to get the new album, and spread the word to anyone and everyone about it. Show the world that this way of working with music can be done. Support us, make a donation of your choice and get the album as soon as it’s done. Also, you haven’t forgotten that I have decided to give you 2 versions of it when it’s completed? One instrumental (now that will be another listening experience for ya, a completely different beast…) and the regular album. And all you need to do is donate any give sum and show us what The Hate means to you. Be sure that any eventual profit (seriously, you don’t make much profit playing this kind of music, haha) of this will be invested in new gear to make even better music further down the road. So, spread the word. Support The Hate and this agenda.

The only way to exit…

… is going piece by piece. That means J just finished up the vocals for the second tune. That’s how you do it; get into the studio, do the fucken work, and leave. No bullshit. I know how well Jonas and J work together, so it comes as no surprise that they deliver on all accounts, every single time. You wanna know how everything looks at this point (actually, I know you wanna hear how everything sounds, but that will have to wait a little longer)? Here’s the deal:

1. J has decided to nail one song per studio session, meaning it’s quality over quantity. With the pace he’s currently setting, his stuff should be wrapped up in a month or so, if everything goes as planned.

2. Ruby is currently on vacation and will pick up her work in a week or 2.

3. Drummer extra-ordinaire Dirk’s got 2 songs left to put down, but since he’s super busy with all kinds of stuff, he’ll resume work in the middle/end of September. In his own words: “- I tried to squeeze another song in last week, but I don’t wanna do an half-assed job”. I don’t think this guy could do an half-assed job if his life depended on it, though.

4. Still waiting on the word on guitar hero Mike Wead’s status. He’s been busy doing King Diamond shows and whatnot, but he assures me he will deliver. I do not doubt that for a millisecond.

5. I have gotten to the point where I really am starting to feel my work is pretty much done as far as the songs and my playing go. There are so many layers, so many details, so many hours put into this, I believe I have nailed it. It’s even gotten to the point where I am now writing music for other things since I can let my mind go off this a bit and let the other guys do their magic and complete my vision. That’s a nice feeling.

6. Statik Majik (website) has shown me some more of the booklet and the graphics that will be used for this album, and as always it looks amazing.

As you can see, things are moving forward and everything is coming together now. You interested in hearing this beautiful piece of music eventually? Then you need to click me and get to work.

Stay tuned for more information and keep an eye on these two important topics over at our forums.

J’s first tune is done and I just got to hear it…

I don’t even know where to start when it comes to this fucken guy. Song after song, album after album he outdoes himself. I literally got goosebumps hearing the stuff he’s pulled off for this first track, and to hear him and Ruby battle it out is so fucken rewarding it’s not even funny. There’s no one, absolutely no one, in this world who can do these kind of vocals that J pulls off. Just complete and utter insanity. Once again I am blessed to be able to work with the cream of the crop in this field of music, and I can never thank them enough for it. Now the stuff is really coming together, and trust me when I say we are creating something that is beyond what we have ever done before, even though it’s still exactly the same. It’s just on a completely new level. You will see. You will understand when you hear it.

Next vocal session for J is on Monday. I can’t wait…

J just spent an hour in here…

And with that said – J‘s first track is now completed! Awesome work. Now I will wait for the files of tonight’s session and then get to work. Ruby is on holiday for a couple of weeks and will resume her work as soon as she gets home. Things are definitely moving forward. There’s a small chance some videos might surface from this first session of J’s visit to the studio… We’ll see about that. Also, do not forget to support the cause.
