The Project Hate MCMXCIX

Exactly one year ago today…

EXACTLY one year ago to this date (12/12/12) the Haters were given “The Cadaverous Retaliation Agenda”. This masterpiece came alive thanks to the ones who supported The Experiment.

Judas eventually leaked it and Judas will suffer for it, but it doesn’t take away the fact that “TCRA” is a testimony of everything that is TPH.

I thank you, the loyal Haters and the people who work with me, for bringing my audio vision into this world. You Haters did it again recently by making it transform into a hand-numbered, limited edition digipak. That was the crowning of it all.

All of this makes me push myself harder and harder to create something that will go beyond everything we have ever done before. And when I listen to the material I am working with, this is exactly what will happen. “TCRA” and you people are the sole reason for it.

Keep an eye out for the start of The TPH Donation Experiment 2 next year – the agenda needed to make the next album a reality.

Time will tell if it will work a second time…

I salute you and I thank you.

The “TCRA” digipak goes to the manufacturing company!

There we go. First off I wanna say thanks to the approximately hundred people who have pre-ordered this digipak. Completely amazing and I salute you all. Enough pre-orders have come in to be able to print this beautiful bastard and have “TCRA” come alive in a new form. I have the master CD ready for the manufacturing company and will just need to check it thoroughly before sending it to them, which will take a few days. After that is done, “TCRA” will be sent for the manufacturing.

This also means that there’s a very limited amount of CD’s left now in case anyone haven’t ordered yet and definitely wants one. As mentioned, there will only be 200 printed – and that’s that. Sure, the deadline is still 4 weeks away, but when these CD’s are sold out – they are sold out, and that’s the end of it.

From now on I will keep you informed at our Facebook page (that’s a link, click it!) as for how many CD’s there are left. I will update as soon as an order comes in, so keep an eye out for that.

Everything should be ready to be sent out within a month if everything goes according to plan. I will keep you updated as we go along, as always.

Again, thank you so very much for supporting The Hate. This whole thing drives me even more towards achieving absolute musical perfection when it comes to the coming album. You will see.

“TCRA” is coming in Digipak as you want it to!

This went faster than expected which once again shows us that we truly have some incredible people supporting us.

Thanx to the e-mails and comments over at our Facebook page it seems it’s the right thing to do – to print this very limited edition of “TCRA” as a digipak (everything is explained in the post below, so read that if you haven’t already). I have no doubts we’ll meet the 100 planned digipaks at least, so that’s what I am aiming for and anything beyond that is just a bonus and hopefully the printing company can help me minimize the quantity to whatever’s most reasonable according to the pre-orders.

“The Cadaverous Retaliation Agenda” – digipak arriving in your mailbox in a couple of months. That feels weird saying, but it also feels absolutely righteous.

Most people seem to think that having a deadline for said pre-ordering is the way to go, though this means you’ll have to wait for a while before it ends up in your mailbox, but you already know this and seem fine with it, which is what’s most important when we do it like this.

Give me a little time and I will get back with the deadline as well as all information for ordering your piece of this disc. I never envisioned “TCRA” coming to life a second time in this format, but you guys asked for it and you guys make it happen and it feels amazing.

I can’t thank you enough, you push me even further in my quest for musical perfection with TPH. You’ll see when the next one arrives, whenever that is. But for now I concentrate on doing this digipak and continue to compose the massive work left on the coming masterpiece.

As said, I can’t thank you enough.

Want a real copy of “TCRA”?

Hypothetical question: almost a year after the release of THE CADAVEROUS RETALIATION AGENDA people are still asking for the possibility of having it manufactured on a real CD so they could buy it. I have been skeptical about this for many reasons; would it be right to print it in a limited edition, say perhaps 100-200 copies, considering how it came to life thanx to the Haters and the TPH DONATION EXPERIMENT? I still don’t know about this and would like to hear your input on this issue.

Head over to Facebook or our forum and share your thoughts with me.

Update October 22nd: I have gotten a bunch of mails from the majority (some of the e-mail addresses obviously aren’t active today, though) of people who donated to make “TCRA” come alive about this physical CD issue, and most of you obviously want to buy a copy if it’s manufactured. This is nice to see. I might just get this going since it will take some work to complete it. We’re talking a very limited edition (100-150 copies) and they will naturally be offered up first and foremost to the ones who donated and want the real thing. I don’t know when this will happen though.

When this is rolling you will all be notified, donators first thru the same e-mail procedure.

Once again, it’s amazing to see the support in this matter and I thank you.

“HDCE” – 10 year anniversary!

Insanity… 10 years ago, in April, we entered Soundlab Studios and recorded “HDCE”, a very special album on all accounts. Still to this day this album holds up on all accounts and the production work is just mind blowing. The late Mieszko really nailed it there.

August 25th, 2003 this album saw the light of day…

In case you missed out on it when it happened, here’s the studio report for the session of recording “HDCE”.

Oh, the sweet memories… What’s yours?
