The Project Hate MCMXCIX

And the bass is done!

Yeah, just finished up the bass for the coming monster. Now what’s left is to go thru all the bass that is played and see if anything needs to be fixed before considering it completely done. We are tearing down wall by wall with this recording, now we only have the vocals left. As mentioned, Jo will start doing her stuff next Thursday and it looks like J is actually starting his singing endeavors tomorrow. Things are definitely moving forward, to say the least. Tonight we will finally get all the drums and get them into the songs and swap the programmings for the real deal. That feels great as well. To finally get the tunes with the real drums is always a treat since we have listened to the programmed versions for quite some time now. There’s nothing like flesh and blood when it comes to drums, you know.

So, things are moving forward nicely and within a few weeks Dan Swanö should be able to start mixing this monster if all goes as planned. There is a chance that some videos and whatnot might surface on this site and at our forums given time, you never know.

Stay tuned for more information about the process of this masterpiece, Haters.

Let us be brief here…

In case someone missed out on this:

We are definitely getting closer to finalizing this masterpiece since J only got 2 more songs to do vocals for as he nailed the 5th one a few days ago. We hope he’ll be able to do one of them this coming week and the last one after we have played the House Of Metal festival with Torture Division which happens next weekend.

K has already started to make notes about all the corrections and small details that need fixing as soon as all the vocals are in place. Dan Swanö will love him for that, we’re sure, haha… But that’s the fun part, making everything come to life as we have envisioned it and with Dan’s magic it even exceeds our expectations.

So, now you know – we are getting nearer completion.

Yet another step closer to finishing up this album…

Just came home from Swanö where we made the last corrections. Now there’s but a few small things left for him to fix before I get the second and supposed to be final mix so I can check everything so closely it’ll drive me insane. This will take but a few days. We came up with some fantastic shit today as well, stuff I have been thinking about for a while and now it fell into place.

Now we are real close to wrapping this bastard up…

On behalf of The Hate /

Getting closer to wrapping it all up!

Mr. Swanö‘s now got his hands full this weekend for the first corrections of the mix that is needed. He’s done an amazing job with the sound but there are some stuff that we are not fully satisfied with that Dan will take care of to try to please our asses. The album sounds absolutely fantastic, that’s for sure. Once again we are very happy that Dan is the man to handle the mixing, making this album everything we want it to be. It looks like this masterpiece will be fully completed within a week or two, then it’s off to Vic Records for printing. Vic’s been awesome to us so far so it feels really great to be on board with them.

Marko Saarelainen is currently working his balls off with the album cover and the booklet, and believe us – not only have we outdone ourselves music-wise, Marko’s been outdoing himself big time with this beautiful package that is coming your way.

As you understand, the album is being very close to be completed now and as soon as we can we will announce the release date and hand you some teasers (perhaps we have some nice surprises up our sleeves until the album is out too).

A huge-ass report on everything will come as soon as as it is all done.

More recording updates!

Jo finished up all her vocals yesterday and she’s done a terrific job. She definitely pulled off some unexpected things that we think you will enjoy and be surprised by when you hear it. Who knew she had it in her, the little one, haha… J’s also nailed 3 tunes so far, which means he’s still got 4 more songs to do asap. His vocals are put on hold this week though since he has some gigs with Krux to take care of. He should be back on track by next week though. We are still waiting for some guest parts to drop in as well. Things are shaping up to become a complete monster when it comes to this album…

If you wanna see some photos from Jo’s vocal sessions, go here and drool, you perv. We will post some videos and teasers as soon as we get around to creating those. That shit takes time and if there’s anything we don’t have shitloads of it is, yes – you guessed it, time. We are working on it though. In the meantime we can inform you that the shirts and hoodies are about to be packed and delivered in case you ordered one. Stand by yer mailbox now, you hear? We’ll be back shortly with more information about the recording process.
