The Project Hate MCMXCIX

Recording update again!

We have told you most of this over at our forums (we can’t stress it enough – you really should keep an eye on that place since we are there on a daily basis with updates) but here goes:

Mr. Swanö started to mix the album now but this doesn’t mean everything is completed just yet. J still got some 3 tunes to do vocals for before we can start seeing the full picture of this masterpiece and start to get into details that need being sorted eventually; like levels on different stuff and whatnot. But we are getting the sound for it now since Dan’s lined up some insanely nice mix to listen to, even if half of is still missing J’s vocals that is. J’s having some problems finding the time needed for doing the last three songs, some of it due to us in Torture Division having some gigs coming up, and he also plays some shows with Krux every now and then, but mostly it’s hard to squeeze in some vocal sessions with kids and everything taking up daily hours (that is why J actually does his stuff in the middle of the night haha). J will start finishing up his remaining vocals as soon as possible, just so you know. But we are getting there, people. Oh yes, we are getting there with completing the finest 60+ minute album we have ever done. It will be worth the wait, that’s a promise.

We have also recorded quite a lot of videos during the recording that we will try to find time to put together for some nice teasers when we can. Those fucken things also take time to complete so bare with us – the album is priority one for natural reasons.

Listening to what Dan has created soundwise is pure bliss considering we have been absorbing ok-sounding demos for so long… This is something else, that’s for sure. We know what we are creating and a good advice when you finally get to hear this bastard Son of Satan is: invest in a pair of expensive headphones coz there is so much stuff you will never notice otherwise… But more of that later on…

Last off: the title for the album’s been set for quite some time, but we will naturally not reveal it just yet, and recently we decided on all the song titles which feels great. It’s safe to say we are not straying away from our concept, just so you know…

Recording update!

Things are progressing nicely in the Hate camp, to say the least. K finished up the bass a few days ago and it seems like everything is definitely in order with that one. Some additional guitars have been added as well by K, adding even more intensity to this masterpiece (yeah, that’s what it fucken is). The drums are all put down and checked and we have absolutely nothing to complain about with those either. Thomas has done a fucken excellent job, which you will hear. Ms. Jo will come to K’s flat tomorrow (Wednesday) and start preparing for her 4 days recording session with Robban at Rat Productions (the same guy we have used for her vocals over the last 2 albums). Jörgen, the almighty J, nailed a tune last week and then got himself blessed with a cold that has put him on hold for a few more days before he can enter the studio again and continue recording his monstrous growls. He’ll try his best to get some work done this week.

And in the wonderful time of computers we can all work simultaneously with this album which means that Dan Swanö‘s now got all the files from K and has started to work a little with the sound for the album, meaning working as much as possible with the drums, the guitars, keyboards, programmings and the bass since he can’t really sink his teeth into the vocals just yet, for reasons stated above, duh. The guest spots are starting to drop in as well and these guys deserve a fucken round of applause for what they are creating with us on this album, that’s for sure. No, we won’t reveal any names just yet but in time you will naturally know.

We can’t stress this enough and this is how we really feel about it (you know, this is what all artists say – but as we have mentioned when it comes to The Hate; we speak the truth – everyone else lie): this is shaping up to be a complete monster of insane proportions – just as we have said all the time while writing and recording this piece. As soon as we possibly can there will be some treats for you at this site and at our forums – so make sure to check in often.

During Jo’s recording sessions we will keep you updated over at the forums, so keep an eye on that as well in the meantime, ok? And last off, here’s a shot of K just after adding some additional guitars. Happy as an arsonist inside a church. And if you look closely you’ll even see something reminiscent of a song on the monitor.

You will soon experience the latest version of complete Hate and blasphemy. Be prepared…

Be very, very prepared…

And Mr. Sandström is done with his vocals!

Yeah, it took some time. Well, it didn’t actually take alot of time to do his vocals, but to find time to do them. Well hey, we are done with them now which means all the main vocals are completed. That’s all the update you get today. More information will follow later on coz now we have some work to do with the best album you ever heard from us (you just don’t know it yet).

You’ll see.

Small update on the recording process…

We are still waiting for J to be able to nail those 2 last songs with his monstrous roars. This means we are in the same situation as some weeks ago. You know K and J’s been busy doing Torture Division gigs but we are doing what we can do squeeze those 2 songs in asap, believe us. Just hang in there. We are working on some small TPH related stuff in the meantime and you will all find out what it’s about as we go along. Stay detuned.

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.
