Headplate rocks on! Unfortunately only in the rehearsal room but still.. We're currently working on new material. Hopefully we'll have some new cool stuff to put up here for you guys to listen to, but no dates.. As you know by now we are accustom to break all dates we put up so just stay tuned and spread the word :) Cheers to all of our beloved fans all over the world, we truly appreciate your support!
 
May 29th 2007
The studio is almost ready and now we're back in rehearsal mode, can't wait to start recording our new material. Hope you all have enjoyed the new songs of our prerecording. We really want to give you (our listeners and fans) a new album as soon as possible and we're very sorry for all delays, but hope you still have faith in us. We have faith in you!
 
December 24th 2006
We would like to wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our fans, families and friends.

Very Special thanks to Marcus, Hasse, Pernilla and everyone else who helped us with building the new studio! We?re looking forward at 2007 with great enthusiasm?
 
October 2nd 2006
The studio is starting to take it's shape, but unfortunately, we are not finished.. As with all things in life, they always take more time than you think. Hopefully the studio will be ready in the end of this month but we'll just have to wait and see..

Along with the building of the studio we're planning to give you a little taste of all the rest of the new songs (or at least the most of them) in the near future..
 
July 23rd 2006
Been a while since we updated our news, sorry for that! But here is what we've been busy with! First of all, n1c has got his second daughter! A lovely little girl with great rhythmical skills ;) Second, we have finished our pre-recording of our next album and the final recording awaits! We are very satisfied with the outcome of all the songs and very eager to let the world hear them! The final recording will probably take place in our new studio that in right this moment is being built. The studio is scheduled to be finished in the end of September. We also have plans of putting a couple of songs from the pre-recording up on our site, in the near future. Until then - stay tuned!

November 24th 2005
Time flies, soon already Christmas...
Any way, 11 brand new songs are now recorded, mixed and mastered! Finally we are finished with our pre-recording. All delays have forced us to move the release of our new album till next year. As a substitute we are thinking about putting some of our new songs up for download.

We are very satisfied with the outcome of the songs and even more exited to share the new material with all of you!

More info later on!
 
September 26th 2005
It's been a very busy month filled with recordings, writing, technical problems but most of all (and we suppose this is what you all are most interested in...) getting new vocals on the new songs! At this moment we have 6 new songs completely recorded with vocals and we must say, it's starting to take form.

Just so you all know, we have not taken any new members aboard, but we are privileged to have a "voice" supporting us that really delivers! And again, we are very excited!

The work will continue and even if it seems that it's taking some time (we know?), we are convinced that the result will be very satisfying!

In the mean time, stay true to yourself!
 
August 25th 2005
So, everybody's back again, filled with energy and ready to continue our recording.

Improved our own studio with some technical stuff (digital and analog) so we have just spend several of hours with diving in to all that! Not all of us loves this as much as others... no names...

Anyways! Just wanted to let you all know that we're back on track again!

Until next time!
 
August 15th 2005
From this day and forth to the 23rd of August, 66,67% of HEADPLATE will take some time off from all the recordings a s o. and charge their batteries in some pleasant, warm and most stimulating environment.

So! see ya'all in one week!!!
 
August 1st 2005
Updates! Many hours spent in our ?studio? and slowly we?re getting a picture of what it will become. At this moment the selection of songs for our next album almost feels like an impossible task? Every song turns up real great so far, so it?s very exciting!

You can also find a new picture (with Johan in front) in our pic-archive, misc.

More info later on.
 
July 8th 2005
Due to lack of engagement and interest, Magnus is no longer a member of HEADPLATE.

We are thankful for the past years together but we reached a point that was inevitable. This belongs to the past and now we?re heading forward.

As you probably already know we are in the middle of recording new material and besides that we, at this moment, have no singer we look at the future with great enthusiasm and inspiration.

We?re already looking at other solutions and are determined that we in the near future will have something that?ll make all of you convinced that this is a change all for the best!

June 14th 2005
Yesterday we entered the first step of what in approximately 2-4 months will results in our third album (fourth if you include "Pieces"). It's a long way with many obstacles lying in front of us but we'll get there. Right now we're roughly recording all new songs just to determine which songs that finally will end up on the album. If it turns out ok we might give you all a little sample...

so as usual, STAY TUNED!!!
 
June 7th 2005
We have put together a mix from almost all of our new tracks. Check it out here. Hope this gives you a hint of whats to come.
 
June 7th 2005
Thanks to everyone who showed up at "Svenljunga Torg" and made it to a memorable evening! F***ing awesome!
 
June 2nd 2005
We have decided to upload a few samples from the recording we did a couple of months back. The sound quality is no way near a cd-production but it gives you a clue of what we've been doing up until now. These tracks are 3 out of 13 recorded and the samples are approximately 1 minute long. Just for your information we have after this recording written 10-12 new songs which haven't yet been recorded, but we hope to do so in the near future.

Sample 1

Sample 2

Sample 3

Enjoy!

November 22nd 2004
We have now finished our little pre-production recording which consists of 13 brand new tracks. We are satisfied with the recording and are currently listening to the tracks to see which may be good enough to end up on our next album and to see if any of them needs to be worked on.

We're currently redoing the audio page and uploading all the tracks (complete songs) from the Pieces album. This will be ready in a couple of days! Stay tuned!
 

<August 10th 2004>
We have been thinking about putting up all of the tracks from our two released albums on the site in MP3 format. The reason for this is simple: It's too hard find our albums in stores and its too hard for us to get a reasonable distribution deal. We still have to look in to some legal details before doing this. All we want is for you to enjoy our music and one thing in return... SPREAD THE WORD!

<August 9th 2004>

Still in the middle of our pre-production recording. Hopefully we'll be ready with that in a month or two.

<June 2nd 2004>

We have some good news and some bad news. First the bad news.. Håkan has, as of the 17th of June, decided to leave the band, he has felt for some time that ha doesn't have the same interest in playing that he used to and since he wants the best for the band he has decided to let someone who has the the drive and energy, that he used to have, take his place.. The good news is that we have recruited a new bassplayer named Johan Andreassen. He is a very good and talented bassplayer and we feel that he is worthy of taking Håkans place.

<July 16th 2003>
We'll be releasing a new album outside of sweden. We have chosen to name it 'pieces' and it will be consisting of 15 tracks from both 'Delicate' and 'Bullsized'.
