UPCOMING ALBUM : NONE - "Inevitable" to be released on June 30, 2023

March 13, 2023

The reclusive NONE return in 2023 with their fourth chapter, their longest and darkest work. Inevitable is the culmination of their musical legacy, evoking the signature depressive atmosphere that has struck listeners across the globe. Like the last stage of grief, Inevitable is a black, nihilistic acceptance… Surrendering to existential loss and failure, only to whisper a sigh of contempt before an apathetic march toward the inevitable end.

Inevitable will be released on Friday June 30, 20...

Update on Shipping Prices

January 26, 2023

Yesterday we brought you some good news but unfortunately I'm writing today with some disappointing news.

After years of operating in a legal grey area and shipping single CD orders outside of Canada as "lettermail" instead of a "parcel", CanadaPost is no longer allowing us to do so. By shipping single CD orders as a letter, we were able to bypass customs and also charge significantly less for orders of only 1 CD.

We had to increase our shipping rates for single CD orders outside of Canada to...
