Norwegian Metal Band SCARS have signed with Wormholedeath a deal for the reissue of their album “Trust No One!”, due for re-release on May 6th, 2022 worldwide.

The band stated, “We are thrilled to be a part of The WormholeDeath crew and can’t wait for everybody to hear the album Trust No One. The album will be available through streaming, CD and a very limited (300 pcs) and hand numbered vinyl. The album contains six remastered songs from the 2018 EP, three songs recorded in 2020 plus one bonus track released as a single in 2015. All tracks are mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound, except the bonus track, Heart Of Emptiness.”

SCARS were founded by Ole in 2013. The idea was to create straight forward and catchy, melodic metal. So, after recording In Constant Suffering, he needed to get a band together for live performance and further recordings. He gathered old friends and bandmates and started rehearsals right away. Ole, Morten, Cato and Torben became Scars at the end of 2014. Cato and Morten left the band in 2018, before the band’s first European tour. Geir and Robin joined, and Scars went on a two-week European tour with Master, promoting a brand-new EP, Trust No One. In 2019 they started recording new music and booked two new European tours with Six Feet Under, but due to covid, the tour and album were put on hold. 2021 Scars signed a deal with WormholeDeath Records and will re-release a remastered Trust No One with 3 brand new songs, in 2022!

SCARS are:
Ole Olsen - Guitar and vocal
Torben Svendsen - Bass and backing vocals
Robin Larsen – Lead guitar
Geir Olsen – Drums and backing vocals

The second video release by None; produced by Rob Watkins in 2020 and released early 2021.

“No Guts No Glory” is a song of a high-stake gamble; sacrifice for the upmost honor and an end that can be conceived long after departure from the body – or a blade held to the throat of Time. Lyrically, the song is written in form of dialogue between the self; for example, “Behind me, I can hear these voices shouting; We’re one day closer to dying”, and so on.
Musically, the track combines elements from Black metal, Industrial, and Noir Acoustic per the signature of None’s amalgamation.

“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.Discography
