Change of plans!

From our official Facebook page as of earlier today:

“- Not that I’m anywhere close to 200 sold copies (I’m always keeping a safety stock, apart from the copies for everyone involved in recording the album, just in case the postal service steals/loses packages as they always do; meaning there aren’t “really” 200 copies for sale anyways even though that’s the manufactured amount) but I have decided to take a chance and print 300 digipaks instead of the initially planned 200, meaning there are plenty of copies left now.

One reason for the change in quantity is that the great Close-Up Magazine is featuring TPH in their coming issue and will plug the digipak there, I was just informed of. Can’t thank them guys enough, really.

So, the post this morning about running out of digipaks has been removed since it’s not valid anymore. I will let you know if I am ever about to run out of them though, be sure of that. But for now there are copies available, obviously.

You wanna purchase a copy? This is how to do so:

Pay through PAYPAL: 210 SEK (including PayPal fee, postage and packing) to:

theprojecthate@gmail.com

Please make sure your name and address is included in your payment. And if you haven’t received a confirmation from me within 24 hours of purchase – email me immediately so we can fix it! I always confirm your order. If you wanna pay in some other way (like over Swish here in Sweden), just email me and we’ll sort it out as well, ok?

And with all this said I can tell you that I am sending everything to the manufacturing company in a day or so coz there’s no need to wait until Monday now with the change of quantity.

Again, thanx to all of you (130 people or so) who have pre-ordered. I appreciate it so fucken much.

Please spread the word on these digipaks so I might not have to see a 150 goddamn copies gather dust in my house for the remainder of 2019 and onwards. Then again, it’s a chance I’m taking. Fuck it.

Cheers, you heroes!”

So, there you go, Haters. Keep an eye on Facebook for updates on the digipak process, ok?

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…

Shirt orders are no more!

NO MORE SHIRT ORDERS BEING TAKEN!

First off, make sure to read the post below this one in case you ordered a shirt sized 3XL and above, ok?

Second, thank you so much – all of you who made it worthwhile to go thru with this shirt. I’m extremely happy to see that as many as 80 or so people decided to purchase one. I truly appreciate the support, let that be known.

Now I will place the order with the printers at Helloil and I should have everything delivered to me within a couple of weeks. When the shirts have arrived it’ll take me an evening or 2 to pack everything before bring able to send them on their way to you, Haters. I will of course keep you informed on the process as we go along. Just keep an eye on this page. Also, I’d appreciate it if you let me know when your order arrives eventually.

As always, there’s been a few pre-orders from people who haven’t bothered to pay for their claimed items just yet… These shirts will be up for grabs later on if payment doesn’t come in. Keep an eye on that, ok?

As soon as everything is sent out you’ll be notified at our official Facebook page.

Last off, huge thanx to Seiya at Ogino Design for the excellent work for this piece of merch. You’re awesome, my friend.

Now, stay tuned for “Of Chaos And Carnal Pleasures”, planned to arrive by the end of 2016.

It will be glorious.

Cheers!

You. Need. This.

Most of you prolly know that we are recording and finalizing our coming masterpiece entitled “Of Chaos And Carnal Pleasures” right now, planned to be released in late 2016 (I’m looking at December if everything goes according to plan, which it has… so far… knock on wood). And… THIS IS A CAUSE FOR DIABOLICAL CELEBRATION!

So, let’s celebrate it with a brand new limited edition t-shirt!

This post is about just that – to make you Haters aware of the fact that I am printing some 50 or so of this spectacular design that is made by the very talented Seiya Ogino at Ogino Design.

Obviously, I’m not doing merch too often nowadays for TPH… simply becoz we hardly sell any. It’s more work than it’s worth to be honest. Let’s try to change that up for this one, huh? Wouldn’t that be fucken glorious?

Yes, it sure would.

I will take pre-orders for this shirt up until the 25th of September, meaning you have almost 3 weeks to decide if you wanna have this beautiful piece of clothing in your TPH collection or not. We won’t print any more of these gems after this run is made, just so you know. If this one sells like shit, there might not even be any more TPH merch in a very long time, for reasons explained above.

You still here?

Good, then let’s continue.

The reason why I do this pre-order thing is a non-brainer – I 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, at least kind of. This is the absolute beauty of the DIY thing, you know.

So, feel free to put your order in if you’re interested in supporting TPH more than you already have. I’ll send everything out in October as soon as the shirts have arrived at TPH Headquarters. As always you know you’ll be continuously informed about how everything is moving along with the shirts, preferebly on our Facebook page.

Here are the technicalities for both the shirt and how to go about to order:

Shirt brand is Gildan Ultra Cotton, best quality on the market.
Seamless twin needle 2,2 cm collar.
Taped neck and shoulders.
Quarter-turned to eliminate centre crease.
Twin needle sleeve and bottom hems.
Material: 50% Cotton / 50% Polyester.
Weight: 200 g/m².
Sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL

The print might differ a little bit in size in real life compared to the picture included here, but we always aim to print as large as possible.

Most bands print black shirts. Same with us. But this time we wanna make it a little more special, so we’re using a color called Dark Heather for the shirts. That means the shirts are dark greyish and absolutely awesome looking. You can see the exact color in this link. Quality de luxe, ladies and gents

And here’s the info as for how to go about to buy a shirt or five. Prices are including postage and packaging to any place in the world. If you wanna pay in a currency besides SEK, US dollars and Euros are fine. Just make sure to check the exchange rate so it’s 200 SEK in the end.

Last off I think it’s appropriate to plug Ogino Design’s various platforms since he’s done such an amazing job with this shirt for me. So if you need some graphics work, don’t hesitate to contact him, ok? Here you go, people:

Official website.
Official Facebook.
Official Instagram.

I thank you for giving a shit and for always supporting what I am trying to accomplish with TPH.

Always marching forward…

Quick update to let you know the status of the new album’s journey to be completed. Now with Erik Rundqvist‘s guest vocals recorded and delivered to me, all guest spots have been filled. I wanna thank all of the included guys so much for their amazing work and for bringing this beast to yet another dimension.

Elli‘s nailed all of her stuff as of a few months back, delivering something beyond and above anything we have ever had for the female parts in the past. It’s on a completely different level, to put it mildly.

J has put down 2 songs out of 6, meaning there’s 4 more for him to do. Once again he proves that he is absolutely untouchable when it comes to growls and whatnot. Just incredible how he always steps up and dominates with each and every record we do.

Dirk is 3 songs down out of 6 (update September 13th – 5 down now), and the stuff this guy puts down is just insane. I have seriously never encountered a better all-around drummer in my life. He does absolutely everything I never thought was possible when it comes to bashing them skins.

My work with all the guitars, bass, loops, orchestras, effects and whatnot is a 100% done. There is absolutely nothing more for me to do in these areas. They have been perfected over a long period of time. Now I’m just waiting for the remaining vocals and drums and then it’s time for me and Swanö to complete this masterpiece with the mix and mastering. That part will be absolutely glorious.

Now you know what’s up. Don’t forget to always check our Facebook since we do updates there all the time.

Thanx for your invaluable support.
