And yet another update!
I won’t be long now, just a few words to let you in on what’s up in The Hate Camp. No groundbreaking news, but fuck it. Anyways, what’s happening right now is that I am throughly dissecting everything (again… and again… and again…) as far as orchestras, loops, guitars and bass go. It’s always great to let the material rest for a bit and then go back and see if there’s anything that can be improved. Working like this, with no deadlines, is excellent and it really gives me the time to put my everything into this album. I have said it before, but you’ll definitely notice how we have stepped up yet another notch when you get to hear this beautiful offspring of pure devilry.
Dirk is recording his drums in between his busy schedule of drum clinics and being a superhero. Ruby is sending over stuff every week for me to approve (and goddamn is she approved!) and J is going thru the stuff I have recorded for him when the time comes for him to start putting down his work in ART Studios, Stockholm. I have yet to hear what Mike Wead is cooking up solo-wise, but you know that guy delivers with the best of them considering he’s one of the best damned guitar players to walk this earth. I know Lasse Johansson (of Candlemass fame) is anxious to get into the studio and deliver his parts too, and he will do so as soon as possible. Things are coming together piece by piece, and just becoz I might repeat myself with these updates (or do not report much at all at times) doesn’t mean things are not being worked on. They are… trust me.
Now, if you excuse me, I’ll go back to more seriously deranged detail work.
