$6000 reached!

It’s not going fast, but at least it’s going. It’s been 17 days since we got to $5000 and a total of 15 people got us from that to $6000! At this point, 129 individuals (together with a CD Baby payment of a whooping $50!) have taken us here.

As menioned before, the plan is to release this 16th full length come summer 2025, but it all depends on if the budget is met by then, obviously. And this is always so utterly stressful, to see the donations come to pretty much a complete halt. There are so few of you who are doing so goddamn much, and I raise my glass to all of you.

There’s nothing to do but wait and see when the monetary target will finally be reached. It’s just, as said, stressful to not be able to plan the mix properly when the funds are not in. We’ll just plow forward and hope for the best.

Please, spread the word about the 8th TPH Donation Experiment in the meantime. Here’s the link to all the information needed to know what’s up.

And with that said, here’s the latest on the recording process;

Jörgen Sandström completed his vocals quite some time back. To no one’s surprise he’s once again proving there are levels to this shit.

Ellinor Asp wrapped up her absolutely insane work. And the stuff she’s come up with is just… mind boggling. I have no idea where this kind of musicality comes from, but trust me when I say it’s a goddamn privilege to be able to work with her yet again.

Candlemass’ guitar phenomenon Lasse Johansson will visit me inside The Dungeon and put down his magic on March 1st. It’ll never make sense to me that I have the luxury to have his playing on my music.

Dirk Verbeuren is currently putting down his drums. Latest I heard was that I’ll have everything delivered to me within a couple of months. Having Dirk on board again is also one of those WTF-moments.

Graphics artist Seiya Ogino of Ogino Design has been given the album and song titles as well as some ideas for inspiration. I’m sure he’s working on yet another masterpiece for TPH, but I haven’t heard from him in a while so I have no idea where’s he’s at in the process as of right now.

That’s where we are at!

As soon as we have reached the needed $10000, I can start planning the mixing with Dan Swanö of Unisound.

So once again; please spread the word and a huge thank you to the 129 of you who have made us reach the $6000 level!

We’ll talk whenever we reach $7000.
