Into the grave.

Now that’s a fine fucken album by the legendary Grave. You know, Jörgens old band. But this is not about them, this is about the process of creating music for our next album. I just needed a title for this update. Anyways, this morning I went up real early (for some reason the peak of creativity is at its highest in the mornings for me) and continued working on the song referred to in this here post. The basic lay-out of it is practically done and it feels like I will devour myself to some serious arranging now, to make the song perfect. Some really tricky guitars in this one playing stuff I usually do not play, but that’s how it’s been so far over the course of composing for this; I have really challenged myself in all areas and some stuff will most likely catch you off-guard since you’re not really used to hear this in TPH (as I have told you before, but it is crucial to repeat it). Atmosphere and diversity are the keywords here. As I mentioned before, guitarist extra-ordinaire Mike Wead better warm up those pretty little fingers of his, coz he’s gonna have his work cut out for him in this one. I still have a ton of stuff laying around to work with but I better concentrate on one thing at the time now or I’ll end up with an album with 5 hours of music. You’d love that, though, wouldn’t you? Either way, I am back to composing to bring this bastard to life. The fifth tune is nearing completion, people, but as always there’s lots of work left.

Cheers, and don’t forget to buy a shirt if you consider yourself a supporter of The Hate.

In the meantime…

While I am composing like a like there’s no tomorrow for our next album, here’s another reminder for you to not miss out on the latest shirt we printed. There are currently only 26 copies left of it, so make sure to get yours today. All the info can be found in this thread over at our forums. Buy one, wear it to church and help us in our cause of annihilating all that is holy, one step at the time. Stay tuned for updates on the writing process as we go along. You sure are in for something else this time around. Actually, you are in for the exact same thing (almost) as you’ve grown accustomed to with us and our never-ending quality and domination. Only this time it’s even more of everything.

Lucky you.

Also, can the idiot running this Facebook page fucken delete it as requested? This is the only page on FB you should care about when it comes to The Hate.

As you were.

Got shirt?

As we have mentioned quite a few times, we have a new shirt for you. Obviously we got a bunch of them left too, so make sure to help us get rid of them and show your support to The Hate, why dontcha?

Just click this link to get access to all the information you would ever need when it comes to ordering. So, get one now. We’d appreciate it.

Almost there…

After some time of insanely hard work, the fourth track for the next album is really shaping up. The structure for it is pretty much done and the rhythm guitars have been 95% nailed as of this morning. I still have bass to record, not to mention the time it takes to do the orchestras and whatnot before it’s really completed. I have been listening to this tune over the last few days to really dissect it and work with different approaches to it, something that has paid off big time yet again. A few weeks ago I was pretty sure which one would be the opener for the next opus, but after writing this 4th song I believe there might be a new sheriff in town (I fucken finally managed to get a cowboy reference into a news post). Talk about luxury problems. It’s time to really go through the guitars closely, to see if I have fucked up somewhere (which I never do) before putting down the bass and then move on to the keyboards so this bastard of a song can join the other 3 in all their glory. I haven’t decided on how many tunes the next album will hold, but with these 4 songs we are well over 40 minutes of running time, so you can see where this is heading… Yes – towards absolute domination.

I am off again to continue my mission. Stay tuned for more updates and make sure to show your appreciation for The Hate by buying one of the awesome shirts we printed some month ago. If you don’t, you’ll never burn in hell with us. And we wouldn’t want that, right?

Creating domination…

The 4th tune for the next masterpiece is currently under construction and it’s turning out ace, as expected. I’m trying out a few new things in this one to see where it leads me eventually. Still a long way to go before this one is completed, but at least it’s starting to take form according to what I had in mind when I started working on it. There’s a few things in this one that I really have to work on to make them a reality. It’s all in my head at the moment, and that part is easy. The fun and hard part is to transform those ideas into reality. But I am getting there.

I can’t believe the writing for this coming album is going so fantastic, as I have stressed numerous times before. I still have tons of stuff lying around that I have been writing the last couple of months, so there’s no shortage of stuff to use for the songs. It’s just a matter of putting it all together to make this the best damned album in our career, just like we have always done before. We are absolutely stepping up a few levels composing-wise for this one. I have pushed myself real hard when it comes to the guitars and some of the stuff is definitely material that I couldn’t play just a few years back, which puts s smile on my face. Together with my beloved companions, Jörgen, Tobben and Ruby, we will create a piece of sheer beauty and brutality, that’s for sure.

There you go, just a quick heads-up on the process of writing the new album. As soon as I have something new to reveal you will find it at this very site. Oh, and there are still copies available of the new shirt. Make sure to order your copy.
