Heading into the mixing of “Death Ritual Covenant”!

Good evening, loyal Haters!

Lemme take this opportunity to tell you that the mixing process of “Death Ritual Covenant” has begun! But hear me out now… Due to extremely busy schedules on all accounts, we’ll give this procedure at least a month or two to make sure everything is perfect when you finally get to hear what we have been working on for the last year and a half or so.

If everything goes well and the planets align, it sure looks like the initial plan of having “Death Ritual Covenant” out in the summer of 2018 will work out. We’ll see, and let’s keep our fingers crossed. if it doesn’t, then it doesn’t. But we are aiming for this, for sure.

Quick Hate Update!

It’s been a few weeks since last time, Haters, so an update is in order.

We will not start mixing “Death Ritual Covenant” just yet. I have to spend some more time with this before I can deliver it to Mr. Swanö for the gigantic process of wrapping everything up. The work put into this album is seriously insane, and it shows. I simply can’t let it out of my hands until I feel it’s absolutely fucken perfect, and we’re getting closer and closer to that.

But this time I’ll leave you with a short clip from The Dungeon from one of the songs on the album. Becoz you greatly deserve it; you who made the 4th TPH Donation Experiment a success. Enjoy while it lasts!

Entering the final phase for “Death Ritual Covenant”.

A few things for ya, Haters.

First off, thank you guys for buying the few spare shirts that I listed on our Facebook page a few days ago. Much appreciated and they have now all been sent out.

And now to the actual album news; shortly I am expecting the final stuff from Ms. Asp and Mr. Verbeuren, which means I will now take some time to go thru everything for the album over the coming weeks until it’s time to start mixing “Death Ritual Covenant” with Mr. Swanö at Unisound AB. What I wanna say with that is; don’t expect many/any updates here or at Facebook until the mixing process begins since I won’t have much to report. Smaller TPH related shit will be posted at our Instagram account (@tph666) though, so keep an eye on that page if you’re interested, ok?

“Death Ritual Covenant” recording update!

You who follow us on Facebook and/or Instagram already know about this, but here’s where we are at recording wise:

• Mr. Sandström has nailed all of his vocal work.
• Ms. Asp is currently putting her magic into the third tune (out of 6),
• Mr. Johansson has fired up some incredible guitar leads for all the songs.
• Mr. Verbeuren is currently recording his drums and is well under way with that.

And me, I am working on everything else for this album on a more or less daily basis to make sure it comes out spectacular when it’s time for it to be unleashed upon the world. Mr. Swanö is waiting in the wings to be able to sink his teeth into this beast and give it a killer production. There’s some ways to go before that happens though. The plan has always been to have “DRC” out in the first half of 2018, and so far that plan seems to hold up.

Also, huge thanx to all of you, Haters, who pre-ordered the new shirt and made it our best selling shirt ever. Very appreciated! No more pre-orders are being taken and these shirts should be sent out within the coming 3 weeks or so. Everything has been delivered to the printers at Hellloil already, so now all we do is wait for them to arrive so I can start packing them and ship them to you all.

Make sure to keep an eye on our social media channels so you don’t miss out on all the minor updates I am handing out there as far as the new album goes, ok?

Until next time!

Cover art for “Death Ritual Covenant” and new merch available for pre-ordering!

I know you have waited to see what will grace our 12th album art wise. The amazing Seiya Ogino of Ogino Design has fired up this incredible piece that you can see now. I can’t thank the guy enough for his insane professionalism and dedication towards the TPH vision. His creation perfectly displays everything I want said graphics wise with “DRC”. To put it mildly, if you’re in need of some help with websites, merchandise, album covers or whatnot – contact Seiya right away! Even though the cover is now designed by someone else than our longtime artist Marko Saarelainen, this doesn’t mean Marko’s not involved with this, not at all. Marko will take care of the rest of the packaging that comes with the album. It will be absolutely glorious, trust me on this.

And in celebration of revealing the cover, we also have shirts up for pre-ordering! This design is obviously a variation of the album cover and if I may say so – this is our best looking shirt yet! Once again Seiya’s done some killer work. Just check it out and then read on for all the pre-ordering information you might need.

The shirts then… there will be 4 different versions, as can be seen above (duh) and I’ll take pre-orders for these during the whole of February, meaning they will be printed and delivered during the first half of March if nothing fucks up in the process. I have told you this before, but the reason I do this pre-order thing is – I obviously don’t make much money off of TPH, which prevents me to print a huge batch of shirts in various sizes just to have them laying around unsold at the end of the day. By pre-ordering you make it possible for me to see how many shirts I can order from the manufacturing company without worrying about bankruptcy. Sure, this always makes for some delay in the deliveries between payment and actual shipping, but I simply can’t work it any other way. I’m sure you understand and are ok with this DIY crap I have to deal with. The downside of being a small-time band, I guess, haha…
