Update! Kind of…

Nothing to report, really… so why not use an update where’s there nothing to report or an update where we report things we reported a few days ago, so you know we’re not dead or something? Makes sense.

Dirk told me today that he is working on the 6th and final track as we speak. It’ll take little while longer before I get it, but that’s all fine. We can’t rush the phenomenon that this album is becoming. J still got 3 more songs to do vocals for and hopefully that’ll be taken care of asap.

While everything is now out of my hands until I get the remaining drums and vocals I am actually keeping myself busy with other, excellent, musical endeavors that you might be aware of when the time is right.

That’s it. As soon as I have updates on said drums and vocals you know you’ll find out about it here. Can’t fucken wait to start mixing this monster…

Leaving the world in ashes…

And another step in the cause of completing the coming album is now taken. Mr. Marko Saarelainen has pretty much wrapped up his work for the booklet and everything else image wise for this coming beast in audio form, the very thing that will define everything that TPH is about. In his own words:

“- If someone would want me to describe the current artwork and compare the material I’ve done here to something I’ve done before… well, I’d say this is definitely a mix of the artworks of “In Hora Mortis Nostrae” and “Armageddon March Eternal”. Naturally spiced up with today’s flavour of course. Well, I’ve found my style some time ago and it’s not like it has changed dramatically during these last years anyways.”

On a related note: Mr. Verbeuren’s assured me that his final song will be delivered before September’s over, and I can’t explain how much I look forward to hear what he’s cooking up for the grand finale.

Besides that, J’s still got 4 tracks to do and then we can move on to the mix. Can’t wait for his grunts to complete the tunes.

The plans are still intact to have this album released before the end of 2014. Can’t wait to have you guys devour it and see the beauty and brutality of it all. It sure is something else…

Always marching forward…

Quick update to let you know the status of the new album’s journey to be completed. Now with Erik Rundqvist‘s guest vocals recorded and delivered to me, all guest spots have been filled. I wanna thank all of the included guys so much for their amazing work and for bringing this beast to yet another dimension.

Elli‘s nailed all of her stuff as of a few months back, delivering something beyond and above anything we have ever had for the female parts in the past. It’s on a completely different level, to put it mildly.

J has put down 2 songs out of 6, meaning there’s 4 more for him to do. Once again he proves that he is absolutely untouchable when it comes to growls and whatnot. Just incredible how he always steps up and dominates with each and every record we do.

Dirk is 3 songs down out of 6 (update September 13th – 5 down now), and the stuff this guy puts down is just insane. I have seriously never encountered a better all-around drummer in my life. He does absolutely everything I never thought was possible when it comes to bashing them skins.

My work with all the guitars, bass, loops, orchestras, effects and whatnot is a 100% done. There is absolutely nothing more for me to do in these areas. They have been perfected over a long period of time. Now I’m just waiting for the remaining vocals and drums and then it’s time for me and Swanö to complete this masterpiece with the mix and mastering. That part will be absolutely glorious.

Now you know what’s up. Don’t forget to always check our Facebook since we do updates there all the time.

Thanx for your invaluable support.

THE CROWN SHIRT IS SOLD OUT!

Thank you so much to everyone who bought this magnificent shirt, designed by Christian at www.crudeart.de. As mentioned, everything is delivered to the printers and I should be able to ship them to you within a month or so. I will keep you updated on everything, as always.

A few people have reserved shirts without paying for them, which means some of them might back out (has happened before). If this is the case I will list the available shirts left after I’ve sent everything out. But for now – this one is sold out.

You guys are amazing.

This is what’s happening right now…

A semi-quick update for ya’ll so you know what’s up: I am just waiting for the remaining guys to finish up their stuff before we can move on to the mixing process this fall. Both J and Dirk’s got 4 songs each left to nail, and the plan is that it will be taken care of during August/September. Vacations and busy schedules is something we have to live with while being musicians, you know. I always said I wanted this album out in late 2014, and I am positive the plans will work out.

As far as completed stuff goes: All the guest parts are there now, all of E‘s vocals are done since a while back, my work is finished as well except for some tiny stuff that might change over the course of completing this beast. The great Marko Saarelainen has handed over the absolute astonishing cover, and once again I am completely floored! It is absolutely massive and my fave cover yet for TPH. The people I get to work with, it is mind-boggling…

Piece by piece everything will be revealed to you until it’s time to unleash this monumental creation. I will speak a lot more about everything that led up to this when the time comes, but for now – just know that this is something way beyond what we have ever created under the TPH banner in the past. It has all come full circle finally.

For now, I just wanna thank Ellinor Asp, Jörgen Sandström, Dirk Verbeuren, Lasse Johansson and Marko Saarelainen the most since they are the biggest part of this creation, music and art wise. And naturally – The Haters, who bring this to life thanx to you making sure we could reach the monetary target. It’s your best spent money ever. You’ll see. And all the other people involved… You are all a part of what’s to come. I thank you so much, and I will thank you many a time again.
