“Death Ritual Covenant” recording update!

You who follow us on Facebook and/or Instagram already know about this, but here’s where we are at recording wise:

• Mr. Sandström has nailed all of his vocal work.
• Ms. Asp is currently putting her magic into the third tune (out of 6),
• Mr. Johansson has fired up some incredible guitar leads for all the songs.
• Mr. Verbeuren is currently recording his drums and is well under way with that.

And me, I am working on everything else for this album on a more or less daily basis to make sure it comes out spectacular when it’s time for it to be unleashed upon the world. Mr. Swanö is waiting in the wings to be able to sink his teeth into this beast and give it a killer production. There’s some ways to go before that happens though. The plan has always been to have “DRC” out in the first half of 2018, and so far that plan seems to hold up.

Also, huge thanx to all of you, Haters, who pre-ordered the new shirt and made it our best selling shirt ever. Very appreciated! No more pre-orders are being taken and these shirts should be sent out within the coming 3 weeks or so. Everything has been delivered to the printers at Hellloil already, so now all we do is wait for them to arrive so I can start packing them and ship them to you all.

Make sure to keep an eye on our social media channels so you don’t miss out on all the minor updates I am handing out there as far as the new album goes, ok?

Until next time!

Cover art for “Death Ritual Covenant” and new merch available for pre-ordering!

I know you have waited to see what will grace our 12th album art wise. The amazing Seiya Ogino of Ogino Design has fired up this incredible piece that you can see now. I can’t thank the guy enough for his insane professionalism and dedication towards the TPH vision. His creation perfectly displays everything I want said graphics wise with “DRC”. To put it mildly, if you’re in need of some help with websites, merchandise, album covers or whatnot – contact Seiya right away! Even though the cover is now designed by someone else than our longtime artist Marko Saarelainen, this doesn’t mean Marko’s not involved with this, not at all. Marko will take care of the rest of the packaging that comes with the album. It will be absolutely glorious, trust me on this.

And in celebration of revealing the cover, we also have shirts up for pre-ordering! This design is obviously a variation of the album cover and if I may say so – this is our best looking shirt yet! Once again Seiya’s done some killer work. Just check it out and then read on for all the pre-ordering information you might need.

The shirts then… there will be 4 different versions, as can be seen above (duh) and I’ll take pre-orders for these during the whole of February, meaning they will be printed and delivered during the first half of March if nothing fucks up in the process. I have told you this before, but the reason I do this pre-order thing is – I obviously don’t make much money off of TPH, which prevents me to print a huge batch of shirts in various sizes just to have them laying around unsold at the end of the day. By pre-ordering you make it possible for me to see how many shirts I can order from the manufacturing company without worrying about bankruptcy. Sure, this always makes for some delay in the deliveries between payment and actual shipping, but I simply can’t work it any other way. I’m sure you understand and are ok with this DIY crap I have to deal with. The downside of being a small-time band, I guess, haha…

Order now, dammit!

It’s time to point it out again… Yes, there are STILL physical copies available of the latest masterpiece. Record sales are obviously through the roof these days, huh… And there’s always the downloading (left hand) path if you prefer that. So, here you go as far as ordering instructions go for both versions:

DIGIPAK:

Put your hard-earned 200 SEK (postage and packing included) thru PayPal to theprojecthate@gmail.com and be the proud owner of this gem. As long as I don’t tell you that they are sold out, then there are copies available for your purchase, ok? When they are sold out, they are sold out and no more copies will be printed. As for now, there’s enough of them to build a couple of (small) inverted crosses at least. Make the note with your payment say “DIGIPAK” and PLEASE make sure your name and address is in there too. It’s fascinating how many people miss out on that tiny detail.

Do you prefer the digital way of listening to your shit? Read on…

DIGITAL DOWNLOADS:

The digital versions (3 of them even, you can find more info about this to the right) are 150 SEK through PayPal to theprojecthate@gmail.com. Make the note say “OCACP DOWNLOAD”. Whichever version you end up buying it’ll be some of your best invested cash ever. Trust me on that. And I ALWAYS confirm your orders, so if you haven’t heard anything from me within 24 hours – contact me immediately coz then something has fucked up and we need to un-fuck it immediately. That’s how I work shit.

Huge thanx to all of you who have bought one version or the other. It means the world to me. Please spread the word too, by the way. That means – share this on your goddamn Facebook page. Or something. Whatever you do in terms of helping TPH out, I appreciate it more than you know.

Until there’s something of significance to report…

KEEP HATING!

News about the digipaks!

Just got the material to proof from the manufacturing company and everything is now set to go, which means production will start tomorrow and that means I should have everything in my possession in some 2 weeks. So, I’m looking at the beginning of March, 2017, for when it’s time to pack and ship your ordered copy/copies. A little faster than initially expected actually, so that’s nice.

There are still enough copies available so if you wanna order one – feel free to do so. I have actually added some extra this time around becoz I have been informed some people are asking something like 200 Euros (WTF?) for a copy of “There Is No Earth I Will Leave Unscorched”. I don’t like that so I want everyone (or at least a few hundred of the world’s population) to be able to get a digipak without being charged a really ridiculous price for it.

Also, our Facebook page is the place to keep an eye on for minor updates about everything TPH.

Pre-order the limited edition of digipaks for “Of Chaos And Carnal Pleasures”!

 

Quite a few of you Haters have been emailing me about the digipaks as of late, letting me know that you want a copy of this gem in digipak form. I can never thank you enough for this, just like I can’t thank you enough for making this latest album a reality. I have told you this so many times over the course of recording this album and I will continue to do so for one simple reason – it’s your fucken doing, seriously. This material could have stayed intact in my home studio, but you decided differently.

I salute you all so much for that.

So, this is like the final thing happening with “Of Chaos And Carnal Pleasures”, putting it on CD for you guys who want it in physical shape. Yep, this is a limited edition thing, so first come = first served. I will tell you when I am running out of copies, dontcha worry about that. Worry about order it in time, haha…

I will have these digipaks in my possession come early/mid-March, 2017, and I will keep you updated on everything important in the meantime when it comes to this process, as always, so you know what’s up.

Here we go then: if you want a physical digipak version of  “Of Chaos And Carnal Pleasures”, order it as follows:

PayPal: 200 SEK (postage and packaging included to anywhere in this world) to theprojecthate@gmail.com. If you wanna pay in some other way – contact me thru the same email address and we’ll work it out, ok?

Please make sure your address is included with the order.

Also, I ALWAYS confirm your order. If I haven’t done so in 24 hours – something is wrong. Email me again if so, ok?

That’s all! Help me get rid of these copies and I raise my glass in your honor for giving a shit in the first place.

Cheers!
