THE PROJECT HATE Signs With VIC RECORDS

THE PROJECT HATE, the Swedish band featuring vocalist Jörgen Sandström (ex-ENTOMBED, GRAVE),guitarist Lord K. Philipson (GOD AMONG INSECTS, ex-LEUKEMIA),bassist Michael Håkansson (ENGEL, ex-EVERGREY),singer Jo Enckell (IGNORANCE BLISS),drummer Daniel "Mojjo" Moilanen (RELEVANT FEW, DRACENA, RUNEMAGICK, LORD BELIAL, ENGEL) and guitarist Anders Bertilsson (RUIN, COLDWORKER) has inked a deal with Vic Records. The group's as-yet-untitled new album is tentatively scheduled for a late spring/early summer 2009 release.

Commented the band: "Vic Records from The Netherlands is a strong up-and-coming label that finally got their shit going. They have shown interest in THE PROJECT HATE for quite some time and now when the label is rolling we gladly accepted their offer and decided to be a part of their roster. Head honcho Roel is an old acquaintance of K's which definitely played a huge part when it came down to signing to a label for the next album(s). We believe Vic Records has the tools to finally give TPH the marketing and promotion we deserve. It's a great feeling to know how much Roel and his company burns for what we do musically, and also knowing that we are a priority for them feels fantastic. We definitely have a nice vibe for this collaboration and our first album for Vic Records is in the making as we announce this relationship of satanic proportions and unholy bodily fluids. Eh, we don't even know what that means. Anyways, here are some plans for you, straight from the mouth of HATE.

"Vocalist Jörgen Sandström will start doing his vocals in a few weeks or so and will work with them from time to time during the rest of the year and probably for a bit of 2009 depending on how much time he can get on his hands. Once he enters the studio he does his stuff faster than a blastbeat so just keep your fingers crossed he can wrap his vocal sessions up as soon as possible.

"Drums will be done in Örebro, Sweden, January 2009. We are checking back and forth for a weekend that will suit us all and we are getting there. Just some final details to nail, but January is when the drums will be recorded and this will happen in www.studioseven.se, a studio owned by SAINT DEAMON, ex-DIONYSUS drummer Ronny Milianosonovabitch-something... We are definitely looking forward to record those toms with him.

"Jonna's vocals will be done during four days in January, 2009 as well. Once again we will enter vocal coach Robban's (whom we have worked with during the past two albums) studio and bring down the heavens and whatnot with some diabolical serenades courtesy of Ms. Jo. We are working on the final dates with this too, but January is determined.

"Michael will put down his bass in his home studio whenever he's got the time. And you all know Michael — there will be some insane bass work done.

"This means that we should have everything completed to be delivered to Dan Swanö sometime in late January, early February if everything goes down as planned. We have lived with this material for quite some time now and we have made small adjustments to it all the time, to perfect it even more (perfect perfection, does that even work?). We can guarantee you one fantastic piece of blasphemy when Vic Records release this piece sometime in May/June (if all the schedules work out as planned now). It's definitely the most brutal stuff we have ever written, and at the same time the most beautiful. We are so confident with these seven tunes it's not even sane. We can't wait to get all of this out to you loyal Haters who always supported us. And to have Vic Records hand it out to you feels like a blessing at this stage as they can actually get the album out to stores with their distribution (something we are not exactly spoiled with)."

THE PROJECT HATE's last album, "In Hora Mortis Nostræ", was released in September 2007 via Stormvox Records, the label owned by Swedish actor Peter Stormare. A teaser for the CD is available below.
