The Project Hate MCMXCIX

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 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.

Small recording process update!

K is  making huge progress with the bass. There’s like 1 song left or so, then he’ll go back and listen closely for eventual playing fuck-up’s and whatnot. It sounds fucken massive with the bass on this shit, that’s for sure. Ampeg is the muthafucken boss, we tells ya.

We’ll see what kind of sound we end up with in the end but this is definitely what we are aiming for; a lot of fucken “clonk clonk” and brutality. And thanx to  Mr. Dan Swanö for lending K this terrific bass to put down the thunder with:

It seems like J will start doing his vocals this weekend too, so things are progressing nicely.

Stay tuned for more updates as we go along.
