Biography
Starting out in 1990 as a death metal band (then called Catacomb) in Catania, Novembre grew to develop a unique, atmospheric sound. Although most of their lyrics are in English, vocalist Carmelo Orlando sings in Italian occasionally in many of their songs. They released their first two albums, Wish I Could Dream It Again and Arte Novecento, through Italian label Polyphemus. While Wish I Could Dream It Again displays the band's death-doom roots, Arte Novecento takes on a softer cleanly-sung sound. [2] [3] [4]
In the mid-1990s, they signed with Century Media to release their next three albums, Classica, [5] [6] Novembrine Waltz, and Dreams d'Azur. More recently, Novembre signed to Peaceville Records, to release their sixth album Materia, which took on a progressive rock influence, [7] [8] and their seventh album, The Blue, which saw a return to addition of death metal-esque passages. [9]
After eight years of absence, Novembre completed work on a new studio album, which was released on Peaceville Records on April 1, 2016, called Ursa. Simultaneously, it was also announced that the band's longtime drummer and co-founder Giuseppe Orlando left the band, leaving Carmelo Orlando as the only original member.
