More from the mixing process!

Mr. Swanö just handed over the first corrections he’s made for the second track and now that one is pretty close to being finished as well. Just a few more things to deal with before moving on to the third one. Or actually, Dan’s already sent over the third one for me to go thru to see what needs to be adjusted. And seriously, it wasn’t much at all at this point. Dan’s definitely understood what I am after and is acting accordingly before I even have the chance to say much. Me and Dan’s been working together for so many years he knows me pretty goddamn well by now. Sure, there were a few things that needed to be fixed in this third one (there’s always these small things to take care of, you can never avoid that), but we usually have two or three sessions with each song to make the alterations needed to make me satisfied – to have these few things for the first session is not common. Good work, Mr. D! Fucken great even. It’s an honor to work with ya, you bastard.

This is how it will go down: we will work our way thru the tracks until we feel they are “done” and then give it a few days of rest where I listen to everything both in my home studio and through a couple of other sound sources (such as iPod and different stereos) to make sure it sounds great everywhere. Then we will do the eventual last fixing of details and after that – “The Cadaverous Retaliation Agenda” is complete! Just as planned, we are wrapping this up late 2012/early 2013. Never have I been involved with such a smooth ending process of a TPH recording. Keep your fingers crossed it continues like this.

You won’t have to wait for too fucken long now. And you will see – it’ll be worth every second of waiting.

Mixing update!

I got the first song with my corrections dealt with and it sounds fucken killer to say the least. Now there’s but a couple of more things to fix with it before it’s completed. Insanity. I also got the second track now to go thru and take notes for, but holy shit – this is turning out amazing on all accounts. You just wait.

Updates will follow as soon as I have anything to share with you all. Thanx for the support, Haters.

Third time’s the charm!

After telling Mr. Swanö what I thought was missing from the mixes I have gotten so far there are but a few very small details left before it’s perfect. I got the third mix of the first song today and we have been shooting each other e-mails over the last week or so, working closely together to get to the point I am aiming for. And Mr. D’s fucken nailed it! That guy is a wizard and this production will crush, for sure. Now, as mentioned, there’s these 2 minor details that I wanna get right before we can consider ourselves done with the sound for “The Cadaverous Retaliation Agenda”. I am currently waiting for those to fall in place and then we are moving forward big time!

Oh, how glorious it is to see this beast come to life…

I believe I forgot to tell you…

This past weekend I had a special guest coming over to The Dungeon to do some work for the album. You might remember him becoz he used to play with us over the course of a few albums… Mr. Petter S. Freed, aka Mazza, took one of my Ibanez Xiphoses and put down one amazing solo for one of the songs on “The Cadaverous Retaliation Agenda”. I have always loved this guy’s guitar playing and to have him on “TCRA” feels awesome. Thanx, Mazza!

And when it comes to the mixing of this new album, work will resume today and we’re getting closer and closer to the sound I want. Still a few tweaks to handle before we’re there, but as mentioned numerous of times previously – we’re not rushing anything.

Stay tuned for more updates.

When the album is done…

Some people who donated to The Experiment and afterwards have wondered how they will get the album when it’s completed. I have naturally saved all of your e-mails and will send you a note as for how to get “The Cadaverous Retaliation Agenda” when it’s done. So, no need to worry. In case you know you have paid and have changed e-mail addy over the course of this recording process, just get in touch with me and we’ll work it out. Of you still haven’t donated, just click this link to find out how you can work it to hear this masterpiece in a month or two.

Spread the word, show us your support. Without it we are nothing.

Update: We saw some question on our Facebook about what formats we’ll send out the album in. Answer is: WAV and MP3 (320).
