VINYL RELEASE: NONE - selftitled

February 28, 2020

*February 21, 2020

Today marks the official release of NONE's selftitled debut album on vinyl!

Order Here

The vinyl - as most of you must know by now - was printed in three editions - winter sky, dirty snow, and classic black - in co-operation with Viridian Flame Records. The winter sky and dirty snow editions sold out extremely quickly but we still have roughly 30 copies of the record in classic black before they are gone forever so order quickly if you want this for your collection as a repress is very unlikely!

It's no secret that I was a bit hesitant to get into vinyl releases, but you've all proven me wrong with your strong show of support for this project. I assumed the NONE debut on vinyl would be quite popular but I never thought it would be nearly sold out by the release date, so thanks for your interest and dedication!

By the way, if you have an account on Instagram, we would love to see pictures of your vinyl. Use the tag #noneband !

For those wondering, all pre-orders (asides from those ordered in the past 3 days) have been shipped!

Next up on vinyl? Life has gone on long enough! More news on this to come.

SONG PREMIERE: Chiral - That Little Wormhole You Called Heart (part II)

February 19, 2020

Italy’s Chiral is preparing to release his latest and yet most introspective 3rd full-length record, “Hope”.

Here is the first excerpt from the album, a cut from the track "That Little Wormhole You Called Heart (part II)":

“Hope” sounds depressive and melancholic. Distorted and somehow gentle. It’s going to come as a closure to Chiral’s previous works (“Night Sky” and “Gazing Light Eternity”) completing what those records started. While his first album, “Night Sky”, s...

It has now been nearly two years since the release of the amazing "Iris" record from Altars of Grief and as there is currently no Altars of Grief merch available online.

The hoodie design will also adorn the new Altars of Grief sigil designed by Moonroot Art!
