Goddamnit!
It’s been quite the process completing this monster of an album, and I can’t be happier with the result. I have worked more hours with this than what’s actually sane. And I believe it shows.
All that’s left now is to make a final listening session before I deliver everything to Dan Swanö for the mastering, which will take place this coming week.
So, even if the mix is actually done, it’ll still be a little longer before you get to hear it, coz there’s obviously some stuff that needs to be dealt with first, you know.
But rest assured, it’s fucken close now!
Hyped yet?
I am real close (99%) to finalizing the work for “Undivine Dethroning”!
Huge progress was made last week and I will spend this week checking that all the changes made are to my satisfaction, or if I need to do some more tweaking. We’re talking extremely minor details now, but those are so important to me to get absolutely right.
A wise man (aka Dan Swanö) said to me recently that “- You never finish a mix, you just move on from it”.
I know exactly what he means.
A change within a song that I consider perfect at this very moment I might feel needs a little tweaking with the next listening session. This never ends, haha…
But it also… ends.
Let it be known that I have poured all of my being into this, and I believe the result will speak for itself when you get to hear it in its entirety.
I wanna say thank you for all the comments about the small teaser you got a little while back. The response shows I’m doing this shit correctly. I’ve said it before, but I can’t fucken wait to let you devour this 16th album. I’m so insanely proud of what it is becoming; a true testament, in every aspect, to what TPH has evolved into over the years.
It will not be very long now before you have it, but I’m not putting out a release date. I will let you know when the mix is completed and some time after that you’ll have this beast raping your entire being.
So, just hang in there a little bit longer.
You’ll be mightily rewarded.
You have my word.
And that’s another week fulfilled with insane hours of mixing!
The second round of fixing details is accomplished and we are now closer than ever to completing “Undivine Dethroning”.
I have lived, bled and breathed this album for quite some time now, and it truly feels phenomenal to see it all coming into perfection. I will spend the coming week checking out all the small corrections I have made for this session to make sure they are playing out to my vision. With every round there’s less and less things to correct, and now I’d say we’re at 90%, goddamnit!
I’ll still need some time before I can hand you our 16th album, but let it be known that the schedule holds up perfectly.
I can’t fucken wait to let you hear what we have created.
Have a great goddamned Saturday, Haters!
Another week has passed and huge progress mixing wise has been achieved inside The Dungeon.
But first off; thanx to all of you who have notified me that your shirt(s) arrived.
Also… to you who ordered a shirt and promised to pay at a specific (now very expired) date… Unless something horrible has happened to you, thus preventing you from keeping your word; go fuck yourself. You’ll never be able to place an order for anything TPH in the future.
And with that out of the way; I went up at 03:00 this morning to work on “Undivine Dethroning”. 9 hours later the first round of taking care of the final details have been dealt with. This means I will spend the coming week analyzing said changed details, and hopefully they will be closer than ever to what I envision as the final result.
What I also envision is a few more rounds of this preposterous work before it’s all said and done and you can finally hear this thing in all its glory.
Goddamnit, this shit sounds so fucken good.
A late summer 2025 release still stands as long as nothing fucks up.
I will of course keep you updated as we go along.
Not much has been said for the last 2 weeks, so a quick heads-up is in order, no?
Things are going great mixing wise, but there’s still A LOT of work left before I’m done, so the planned “late summer” release is intact. As mentioned before, I work a 9-5 job, so during the weeks I can’t devote as much time to mixing as I’d like to unfortunately. That is saved for the weekends, much to my wife’s chagrin.
Not really, she’s always supportive and understanding, you know. Or we’d all be fucked.
I have pretty much adjusted the mighty Dan Swanö-production to my liking now for the complete album, which feels fucken killer! That process sure took its sweet time, so now it’s all about the details within the actual tunes. It’s quite the challenge to balance some 40 vocal tracks at times, just to name one thing, but this is work that I truly love to do, and I simply can not consider “Undivine Dethroning” finished until it all feels perfect to me.
I know you really want to hear this beast, and trust me – I REALLY want you to finally experience what you have made possible, but it’ll still be a while before that happens, as mentioned.
Go outside, enjoy the summer, wear your new TPH-shirt (and please, holler when your order has arrived!), drink Staropramen, listen to Cattle Decapitation and enjoy your goddamn life in the meantime, ok?
I’ll be inside The Dungeon, working my ass off every goddamn free minute I have until this 16th album is done.
We’ll talk again in a not too distant future, but now I have to go. I have a mission to accomplish.
Your King is out!
