No Guts No Glory (Official Video)
The second video release by None; produced by Rob Watkins
in 2020 and released early 2021.
"No Guts No Glory" is a track taken from NONE's
EP "Interdimensional War Poetry", which is due for re-release on
March 23rd, 2022 via Wormholedeath.
“Interdimensional War Poetry” is
the second EP release by None - the operation
led by sole multi-instrumentalist and experimental artist Nicholas
Mendiola. The record features 6 recordings of music which blends
Neofolk, Black Metal, Industrial, Noise and Dark Ambient with a
further emphasis on lyrical-song structuring; as opposed to the prior release
in 2018 of “Infernal Temples Of The Meditant, which did not contain written
lyrics.
The record was previously self released in 2021 following the music videos
for “No Guts No Glory” and “Never Know” via NO CLEAN SINGING.
Messages behind some poetry include Occult/Esotericism, Principle, Space
and Time travel, Struggle, Devotion to one’s own purpose as a
means of self-discovery and divine intervention through the very creation of
each piece of music present on said record. This is yet another offering to The
Eternal.
Biography
None (A.K.A The True None) was founded in 2015 by Nicholas
Mendiola (Ex-Plague Phalanx, Thangorodrim and Awakened Abyss) as the sole
performing musician and songwriter in tribute to all the divine. In 2017 the
first single "When The End Will Come" was self-released prior to the
full EP "Infernal Temples Of The Meditant" the following year;
binding elements from a multitude of styles and had since been described as
"Meditative Neofolk swirling in portals of Dark Ambient, Black Metal,
Noise and Industrial" (From Corners Unknown, 2018) and "A unique
blend of both chaotic and beautiful landscapes, incorporating elements from
multiple diverse genres of music" (Ritual Sound, 2017).
Of that same era in time None had released a visual interpretation for
"Past Tense", another track from the debut EP which featured ear
piercing howls, gutturals, shamanic chants and industrial drum pangs among
other various nauseating sounds mixed into the portals of sound in which
further broke the boundaries of what some may have thought None to be.
For Nicholas, None is the deity of his own creation and the eternal version of
himself. As he had stated before in his interview with internet zine From
Corners Unknown, the purpose and mission of his contemporary life was to
discover himself as the true voice and host that None speaks through - and to
leave the word and mark of None upon the world not only to affect other present
beings of the earth and multiverse but to leave traces for future lives to
again discover their true identity. Like the omnipotent gods of other's
previous worship None requires supreme devotion and all of the words spoken by
Nicholas; his thoughts, his actions, experiences and memories become one with
the legacy of The True None. It is the duty of the prophet to carry this torch
in his present time and into the next - past, present, future
forever. and this is what None carries to the stage; absolute devotion to the
divine and eternal legacy by those who will die for it.
In 2018 the release of "Battlefields" which featured guest vocals by
Bloodcrown of Occult Rock band Thangorodrim gained more attention as well as a
small handful of interviews for the new movement before then being met with yet
another single release entitled "Chaining Ethereal Comatose" in the
early months of 2019. This new track, unlike the previous, had now featured
live drumming, cohesive lyric lines and a new psychedelic circulation with the
addition of guitarist S.K.B (also of Occult Rock band Thangorodrim) on the
guest lead guitar solo following an entrancing bass guitar lead section.
Chaining Ethereal Comatose had been the first track None had recorded at District
Recorders, which was notable in production and mastering.
Following the releases of "Never Know" (which featured guest
appearances by John Bradford Schuler of the groups Crepuscle, Warscythe, Nerve
Exposure on the live drumkit and Patrick Corona of Rivers Of Nihil, Cyborg
Octopus on the Saxophone solo) and the cover of "Erase" by
Horror/Hardcore Punk band Kettle Cadaver in 2020, Nicholas had signed a deal
with Davide Paulito of The Metallist PR shortly after releasing the video for "No
Guts No Glory" via NO CLEAN SINGING. With the new PR deal, a second music
video was shot for "Never Know", just weeks before releasing
Interdimensional War Poetry on all major streaming platforms.
In the final months of 2021, Nicholas signed an alliance with Italian-based
record label WORMHOLEDEATH for the re-release of Interdimensional War Poetry
via worldwide physical distribution.
