VINYL RELEASE: NONE - Life has gone on long enough [Release / Update]

Fri, 03 Jul 2020 19:35:44 +0100

Today is officially the release date for the vinyl pressing of NONE's second album. Sadly, the vinyl are still in transit from Europe. I checked the tracking numbers this morning and it seems like they are about 1-2 weeks from arriving. As soon as they arrive, we'll work our asses off to get ALL the orders out within 3-4 days so I just ask for your patience for a little while longer!

If you've ordered the repress of the long-sleeve "A Coffin for a Bed" shirt, that's expected to arrive here either today or Monday so those orders will be shipped out immediately. NONE hoodie restock is also arriving with the same shipment so if you're waiting on your hoodie, that will be mailed out next week as well.

When we press NONE III, we'll start the process a bit sooner so that everything is here by the release date. Another thing to note: Viridian Flame Records has their copies already since they are based in Belgium so if you ordered from them, your order is probably on its way to you!

PRE-ORDERS: NONE - Life has gone on long enough… [Vinyl release]

Fri, 29 May 2020 03:25:00 +0100

We are launching pre-orders for the release of NONE’s second album “Life has gone on long enough” on vinyl today, once again collaborating with Viridian Flame to bring you NONE’s second chapter on wax for the first time!

Much like the first record, this one will also be released in an edition of 300 copies, split evenly between Hypnotic Dirge - for North American buyers, and Viridian Flame - for European buyers. Those living outside of those regions can order from whoever they want. The record will be available in three editions, “verdant grave”, “dead and gray”, and classic black. This time around, instead of a booklet, the record will come with a panoramic 90cm x 30cm fold out double-sided poster of never-before released photography from the album photoshoot.

We are also printing a limited run of the "A Coffin for a Bed" long-sleeve shirts which was originally printed in 2018 alongside the CD/Digital release of "Life has gone on long enough" but went out of stock before the end of the year.

In conjunction with Viridian Flame Records, Hypnotic Dirge is proud to announce the launch of pre-orders for NONE’s seminal self-titled debut album pressed on wax for the very first time!

NONE’s selftitled album, originally released in April 2017, was the first chapter for this enigmatic depressive black metal legacy which would be followed by additional full-lengths in April 2018 and 2019. The vinyl edition of the self-titled album also includes NONE’s stand-alone single “Where Life Should Be” - previously unavailable in any physical medium - as a bonus track.

300 copies of the record has been pressed in total, 140 of which will be available through Hypnotic Dirge and 140 copies through Viridian Flame. 3 editions of the vinyl are available - a “winter sky” edition, a “dirty snow” edition, and a classic black record. We expect these to go quickly so we advise those who are interested to order quickly once pre-orders go live!

Album notes:

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.

Reviews:

"The bleakness, haunting and dreadful, is a euphonious swarm of distortion with glimpses of melancholic guitar and piano that formulate the most morose album I’ve heard this year. Each song blends seamlessly into the next, creating one extended sojourn through the dreadful black void that is all too familiar to some. A completely miserable album that is simple in its thoughts, it presents anguish in its rawest form. Shattered emotions that cling to your soul and relentlessly try to destroy you from within."

-VM Underground

"Every aspect of this record is so well executed. From the instrumentation, to the icy atmospherics to the dissonant pained vocals to the overall great production, this record is a great one. Damp Chill of Life is a wicked record, one that grips you from beginning to end with the frigid hand of death. Each track is a haunting reverie that invites you to die alone among the shadows and the frost and you don’t have much choice but to abide. Damp Chill of Life is an excellently crafted record, one that grabs your attention and keeps you coming back for more and more. Not enough can be said regarding this record. The only thing left to say is that this will be quite simply one of the best depressive black metal and black metal releases in general this year."

-Cadaver Garden

"There are good releases and then there are those albums that crawl under your skin and make you crave for more. NONE has continuously delivered some of the most punishing and bleak Atmospheric/Depressive Black Metal releases since its inception and “Damp Chill of Life” is yet another brilliant addition to their discography. Filled with haunting atmospheric elements and just the right amount of heaviness, this release is one of the best in the genre for 2019, so don’t miss out."

Invisible Oranges Premiere Link

From the article:

Plodding but seamless, the album captures a picture of meandering around daily life with that pesky dark shadow in tow. With no clear beginning or end to the throes of sadness, the detection of rise and fall is often subliminal at most. Acoustic breaks are accompanied with gasps for air and piano strokes are offset with desperate whispers, exemplifying how it doesn’t necessarily bend in the face of beauty. “It’s Painless to Let Go” especially anchors the album with its gripping riffs that build before breaking into an unplugged interpretation.

Together, the facets of Damp Chill of Life place another solid release under the belt of NONE, who has mastered the art of taking constant sorrow and turning it into consistent composition.
