UPCOMING RELEASE: NONE - Damp Chill of Life

February 11, 2019

Like clockwork, NONE returns this spring to destroy your seasonal optimism with their oppressively bleak atmosphere. Following 2018’s epic “Life Has Gone On Long Enough”, “Damp Chill Of Life” is NONE's third full-length chapter in their arrestingly reclusive legacy.

Weaving visionary soundscapes with depressive black metal, “Damp Chill Of Life” will gnaw at your bones like dying alone in an ice-bound wilderness. Haunting piano keys and retching voices flicker through harsh walls of instruments, ebbing and flowing through the lengthy tracks as NONE take their time to pick apart your psyche.

As with the NONE’s previous albums, “Damp Chill Of Life” will be released on April 11th alongside new merch to be revealed soon.

Accept hopelessness. You are no one, nowhere, and NOTHING.
