Sweden's THE PROJECT HATE, featuring guitarist Lord K. Philipson (GOD AMONG INSECTS, ex-LEUKEMIA) and Jörgen Sandström (ex-ENTOMBED, GRAVE), bassist Michael Håkansson (EVERGREY), guitarist Petter S. Freed (2 TON PREDATOR) and singer Jonna Enckell (IGNORANCE BLISS), have checked in with the following update:

"Things are moving in the Hate-camp. Guitarist Mazza was over at K's place yesterday and added some of his magic shit into a few songs. Out of the 7 tracks for the album (pretty much an hour of music), six tunes are pretty much completed with the four rhythm axes and some additional harmony stuff. We got some basic work left to do and then it's time to really enter perfection mode for a while and really analyze everything as far as the guitars go. There will definitely be a lot of guitars on this album, that much we can tell you at this point.

And yes, as we are recording this, we have told you that we are writing the lyrics as well. All the titles are ready, as well as the actual album title. And damn, even the cover is already done by our sixth member/webmaster Statik Majik. He's only got some fine tuning to do, which he will work with as long as we record this coming christ hating assault. And that might take a while, haha...

We have updated you guys on the label situation before. It's still the same and we haven't even bothered to work more with that at the moment, we just concentrate on recording right now. And that feels awesome, having no pressure whatsoever, no deadlines. Just all the time in the world to make the finest album we can come up with.

2007 might see a few interesting changes for The Hate... We can't say too much at the moment but as soon as everything's cleared, this is the place where you will find out everything about... well... everything Hateful.

We are just nice like that, you know. Don't forget to check out the Forum where we post audio clips and whatnot from the recordings. See you all in a bit, and thanx to everyone who writes us stating you are really looking forward to this album. You guys make all the sore fingers and hangovers all worth it. And believe us when we say it will be worth the goddamn wait. We wouldn't have it any other way."
