THE ANCIENT TIMES:
" No Forgiveness " project was born in Autumn 2001 following the meeting of the singer Holy Smoke with the guitar player Celesh. Inspired by the eclectic mix of Marylin Manson's shows, the powerful sound of Rammstein and the Industrial/Electro scene from Germany, they soon revealed themselves as a band whose sound is full loaded energy & packed with raw emotions expressing insanity, sadness, hate, disorder, rage & sickness. During the first year of live activity they began to work on their first original songs, investing hours and hours in experimenting sounds & riffs in search for a massive, powerful & dirty sound, something not easily achieved as a quartet (Holy on the voice, Celesh on the guitar, Vlad Veronique on the bass and Franz Von Rottenstein at the drums). The first proof of what they were capable of was their first 4-track promo that they used in some Summer competitions. In Summer a new member was added to the band: Lady Selena on the Keyboards. She soon helped the band to develop sounds unique to themselves with melodies belonging to gothic style.

THE PAST:

September 2002 is the month in which the band recorded their first real demo and began to prepare really big shows. They were the chosen ones for Halloween night in a club in Turin, in which they played their own music taking advantage of the right atmosphere. The music alone took the audience on an endless pleasurable/painful ride. They repeated their first success at the "Onyrica" show, adding new songs and sounds. This soon looked like the real Christening of the band. After months of studio-recordings (all self made) finally the second "Demo" saw the light (or the darkness?) : " Obscure Shining", mixed and produced fully by the band, including 6 " PURE, INSANE, INDUSTRIAL GOTHIC " pieces. The reviewers defined the songs as very good, almost "surprising" for a new band liek NF and labelled their sound "unique". Very good was also the result at the national " Premio Promo Action": out of 497 groups they were into the first 51. Soon after that, the bass guitarist Vlad left the band, due to personal problems. His place was taken immediately by Desy, a state of the art musician, previously performing in other Metal bands of the Turin scene. The next live show was " Pagella Rock" where they reached number 36 out of 90 groups. Soon many musical-competitions and live shows followed. 2003 was a very intensive year for the band: "Masquerade" was the new album concept that drove the band in the near present. In the middle of October the first " full lenght" was released with 10 insane new tracks in 5000 copies ( 666 limited version with 4 bonus tracks). After the release of "Masquerade" the band went in tour: the "INSANE TOUR 2004-2005" was a big succes in every single gigs including a big Industrial festival that saw No Forgiveness as head-liner with XP8 .

THE PRESENT:

No Forgiveness are slowly coming to a more cyber, sick, experimental and dark stage of their musical career: the line-up changed during the first months of 2005 and now the band is composed by Holy Smoke, Celesh, Desy and live session members. The use of original sounds produced by granular synthesis, distorted samples, electronic landscapes, insane vocals and atmospheric soundscapes is heavily put into practice; the band began to work on new tracks (a special mention to the cover of "Enjoy The Silence" that was released on the first Italian Tribute CD to Depeche Mode caqlled "DEVOTION") and new live shows, both for Italy and both for the first approach to the foreign countries. In April the band played live in Holland with the amazing cyber-deathsters Dynabyte (featuring members of Necrodeath and Cadaveria) and the german friends Golem 101. A new CD called "Deja-Vu" is released on 06/06/2006 in the first CD single format: it contains some of the best songs produced by the band with completely brand-new cyber re-registrations, 2 special covers & 8 remixes. With this new release the band wants to find a serious deal with a big music label and finally begin a long tour in Europe.

THE FUTURE:

Nobody knows where this 3 insane-industrial-addicted guys will finish, wich direction their sound will follow, what will be of them, but one thing is sure: they will cause a lot of headaches!
