- -- Release notes ---------------------------------------------------- -- -
Even before "Bleeding the new apocalypse" was released in
February 2011, K started writing for what was to become "The
cadaverous retaliation agenda". With a goal set to surpass
anything TPH's done in the past, "TCRA" slowly took form.
Approximately 20 months after the composing started the beast
had come alive. It's safe to say that this is most likely one
of the most worked-on recordings ever. The amount of time
spent on small details is more than most bands spend on an
whole album, and this is something you will notice if you pay
attention. All the guitars, serpents, orchestras and
programmings, as well as Petter S. Freed's guitar solo in
"Welcome the Judas agenda" was recorded in K's studio The
Dungeon while J's vocals And Lars Johansson's (Candlemass)
solos were tracked in ART Studios, Stockholm- Ruby did her
vocals in Lisbon, Portugal, just as she did on "Bleeding the
new apocalypse. The rest of the guitar solos were put down in
the home studios of Magnus S÷derman and Danny Tunker. Peter
Dolving recorded his incredible guest parts on his own. Tobben
Gustasson had to step down from recording the drums on "TCRA"
so the honour of doing those parts went to the magnificent
Dirk Verbeuren, who put down the drums in his Die Crawling
studio. All of this is what makes "TCRA" the closest to
perfection TPH have ever been.
Spawned from the mind of K. The word "cadaverous" was in K's
mind for quite some time and just needed to find its place in
a sentence to form the title he was looking for. This album is
retaliation in its purest form and the concept of it is our
agenda, so once those words came together- it was done. It
explains everything that TPH is about.
About the cover
Once again Marko Saarelainen creates something absolutely
astonishing. There's a very dark feeling to this piece of work
and it absolutely represents the vibe of the album; diabolic
and beautiful, yet grotesque. As usual he drew inspiration
from titles and whatnot - coming up with this masterpiece to
give the album its visual appearance.
In his own words: "The very rough sketch for the artwork was
spawned almost a year before it was chosen for this albumà I
was kind of lost with the actual direction of it and had no
idea if I'd finish it or if it could be used in any "real
life" case. So I left it on hold, so to speak, and
concentrated on other projects instead. But the very second I
heard the actual album title from Lord K I just knew that I
already had a perfect foundation for what would become the
album cover for "The Cadaverous Retaliation Agenda". It took
merely a few minor alterations to the original sketch and it
all fell in place: The work reflected perfectly the feeling I
got from the music and the few song titles I heard at that
point felt like they were spoken versions of the actual
artwork.
I kept working and perfecting the artwork the same time as K
kept working on with the songs, so you could say that the
visuals more or less grew together with the actual songs."
Nothing on this album is by chance. Everything is dissected
and calculated into the smallest detail. A lot of you people
seem to think that the "DCLXà" tracks on "TCRA" are just small
instrumental pieces in between the "real" songs. Hardly so.
There's much more to them than that. They are there to give
you a hint/reminder of what's to come and what has been.
Confused yet? You must not be. This will all be very clear to
you shortly, and you will further understand what kind of
thought and work went into "TCRA".
1. DCLXI - This is the initiation to everything that is
"TCRA". The seed of what's to come. The proclamation of 12
coming sermons.
2. I feed you THE flesh of your poisonous Christ - Pay
attention to the first riff of the whole album.
3. DCLXII - We start with granting you things that will occur
on the album later on, but at this point you have no idea
about it. This piece is based on a part from the song that
ends "TCRA", namely "Welcome the Judas agenda". It's just
transferred into piano and downbeats, adding a completely new
atmosphere to it.
4. We watch in silence as the earth turns to blood
5. DCLXIII - "Carving out the tongues which speak of
salvation" is serving as the source for what this instrumental
is based on. Listen closely and you should easily find the
section that is used in here. Masking it in a techno
environment shouldn't prevent you from hearing it since it's
pretty much using the same BPM as well.
6. Conquering the throne of the CADAVEROUS
7. DCLXIV - On top of the obvious electronics and the sermons
speaking about flesh is a part from the song "The great
retaliation is upon them".
8. The great RETALIATION is upon them
9. DCLXV - And now we move backwards to remind you of what you
just heard, even though you most likely won't notice it until
I explain it to you. Underneath the preachings and effects is
a very low orchestra thing, that eventually becomes more
obvious, based on a riff from "Conquering the throne of the
cadaverous".
10. Carving out the tongues which speak of salvation
11. DCLXVI - "We watch in silence as the earth turns to blood"
holds a section that is used for this song. Also note how the
ending orchestras use the same tones as the start of "Welcome
the Judas agenda", binding the two together perfectly.
12. Welcome the Judas AGENDA - The guitars that end the album
play the exact same riff that opens up "I feed you the flesh
of your poisonous Christ", only very much slower with added
harmonies, making the album end with the very first riff that
starts off "TCRA". And by doing so, it is completing the
cycle.
