how were you introduced to November Doom!?

Looking on the internetz for "new" bands. Stumbled upon some site that had a review for TPHD, it had just been released. So, like Beast, I picked it up from The End Records in 2005. Dam, already 4 yrs ago. Anyway, TPHD became one of my all-time favorite metal albums. Yeh, that's how I broke my cheery.
 
I was ordering cds from TER back in 2002 and decided to give TWTF a chance. Hmm... almost every subsequent ND album I have ordered from TER (those package deals with the book, t-shirt etc). With the exception of the remasters (Vancouver HMV) and the new one.
 
Back when The Knowing came out, I was online in a chatroom, and people were talking about them. They were all saying how awesome the CD was..and I figured I'd give it a shot. I think I ended up buying it without even hearing a note beforehand (I got the slipcase cover..no poster though) I then got their back catalog, and the rest is history.

To this day, they're one of my favorite bands, and I can STILL buy their CD's without hearing a note, and I know I'll be impressed. I own the entire catalog, the DVD, a TWTF longsleeve....now all I need to do is see them live, and life will be complete.
 
REad a review for 'The Pale Haunt Departure' on I think Blabbermouth. The fact they were from Chicago caught my eye. Found thier website that had some free mp3 downloads. LOved what I heard so I ordered the album the next day. The last 2 albums have been priority pre-orders since then. Still need to see them live.
 
I got introduced to them when their first album, Admid Its Hallowed Mirth came out. I was ordering stuff from some distro and they caught my attention so I ordered the album and remained a fan all this time.
 
Oh great.

Let me guess, it's a bunch of "These guys worship Opeth and wanna be Opeth" crap?

Again, I will state for the record- saying we are similar to them is fine, saying we'll appeal to their fans is fine. Saying we "obviously" are copying them is not fine, because it's completely false.
 
Lol I heard about Novembers Doom because a lot of people suggest Death/Doom with an acoustic/distorted, clean/growled mix to Opeth fans looking for more metal, sorry for the honesty. Believe it or not I'm not the only one, god forbid you get fans that already liked a slightly similar but more popular band but gave a damn enough to look for more music. I'll stick with some generic "I lyk deth and doom and novmbers doom put the too togteher nad it waz lik WHOA I like dis" next time.
