TPH DONATION EXPERIMENT 8 IS ON! LET’S MAKE ALBUM 16, SHALL WE?!
Haters,
All rise, Your King is back!
Winter is on its way… Christmas, New Years and bla bla bla… It’s been a while since we talked so I figured now would be a good moment to hand out some news.
You probably know that we have, so far, released FIFTEEN goddamn albums with TPH, right? That made me think; “why stop now?”
So, let’s complete number 16, shall we?!
You know what this means; the 8th installment of THE TPH DONATION EXPERIMENT is now up and running! For over a decade TPH has been made possible by YOUR funding for the recordings, and once again it’s in your hands to make number 16 happen.
If you wanna help reach the $10000 monetary goal needed to pay everyone involved for their efforts and bring this next recording to life, here’s all the info you need:
– Donating 150 SEK will give you the following digital versions when the album is completed: CD MIX (MP3), CD MIX (FLAC), HDR MASTER 44,1 24 BIT (FLAC), HDR MASTER (INSTRUMENTAL FLAC). Links to the downloads will be e-mailed to you upon release.
– You can of course donate more if you feel like it. Every goddamn cent pushes us further and faster towards the goal.
– Donations are preferably made through PayPal to theprojecthate@gmail.com. Please make a note saying ”16” with the payment. Or you could just say something else. You can even write a goddamn poem if you feel like it. I will ALWAYS confirm your donation within 24 hours of receiving it, so if you don’t hear from me within that time frame, well… then something fucked up. Simply e-mail me at theprojecthate@gmail.com then, ok? If my fellow Swedes prefer another paying method, you holler at me through the same email address.
– Updates through social media will happen with every $1000 level reached. This 8th Experiment will run until we’ve reached the monetary target of $10000. Be it 2 months, be it 6, be it a year. It doesn’t matter. It’ll take whatever time it takes. This album just needs to happen. Mankind deserves it.
The plan is to have this 16th album out sometime mid-2025. You’ll be updated on the process as we go along.
As you know, it’s a real pain in the dickhole to get everyone’s schedule to align when it comes to TPH, but we are deep down in recording everything as I type this. My guitar and bass work is finished and that also goes for 99% of the orchestras and electronics. I’m waiting for all of the vocals (once again, Jörgen and Ellinor completely fucken destroys all competition!) to be finalized by the end of January 2025, and January is also the month where Lasse Johansson of Candlemass will come here to do his solos. Drummer behemoth Dirk Verbeuren will once again put down his incredible skills for TPH, for which I am so goddamn grateful. It still blows my mind that he finds the time to give a shit about TPH.
Some quick info about the actual album itself:
– This 16th musical wonder will have 6 tracks, and the running time will be very close to 80 minutes.
– It will be mixed and mastered by myself and legend/superhero Dan Swanö of Unisound fame.
– Killer artist Seiya Ogino of Ogino Design will once again handle the artwork and packaging.
– The album title has been decided upon since quite some time and I will reveal it further down the road.
Lemme say this; I am beyond satisfied with the material for this one and I have been working with the music since pretty much some weeks after our last album was released. The amount of dedication and hours I have given to the music itself is something I don’t even dare to think about. I’ll end up in a padded cell coz it’s complete insanity on all levels. But this is what I have to do. You know this by now.
So, that’s where we are at, Haters! Could you please be so kind and make this 8th TPH DONATION EXPERIMENT a success sooner rather than later so I don’t have to deal with the goddamn stress of not being able to pay everyone involved for too long, ok?
When we eventually reach the monetary target, I can guarantee you that your reward for supporting my work with TPH will show in the end result.
Spread the word, and I thank you so much for your invaluable support. I never, ever, take any of this for granted.
As I have said before; You are all TPH.
/ Your King
