If Only My Mother Knew The Real Me, Her Heart Would Break, For I Am Shame...

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

I went to my local record store, looking for some recommendations. I'm a big Opeth fan, and since getting into them, I have searched for melodic death metal. One of the cool bands I found on this board were Daylight Dies, very sorrowful and epic metal.

So some of the recommendations were two bands, of similar names...Novembre and November's Doom. And when I went into the N Section, I couldn't find Novembre. But I found a copy of November's Doom. A CD entitled, TO WELCOME THE FADE. From what I've heard, Novembre and November's Doom are bands that do not sound alike. So I didn't really know what to expect...but I took a chance.

Wow. Some of the most sensuous riffs I've heard. It has the acoustic and melodic riffs that appeal to me. And fantastic lyrics. One line stuck with me. I don't know why, but I thought it was awesome...

"If Only My Mother Knew The Real Me, Her Heart Would Break, For I Am Shame..."

The song itself, "Not The Strong..." is indeed, a strong opener. How could it get any better? Well, with the followup song, "Broken." Perhaps my favourite. And great clean vocal tracks as well. Very cool stuff. Probably the best find for me since Daylight Dies. I hope to get other CD's from this band.

Thank you much for your kind words. It's always makes me happy to know that the music we create can have some effect of some people. Lyrically, it's impotant to me to me to be able to write from the heart, and mean what I say, so my lyrics can get a bit personal. Our new material gets more involved lyrically once again, and darker yet. I know we all create from our love for the music, and we've remained close to our roots since the original CD release, back in 1995. Hopefully you'll find our other works as rewarding, as well as our future releases.

Try 'The Knowing' next. It's a very moody CD.

HOLY $#!%!!!

A member of the band responded to my post! Just like Jesse, the drummer for Daylight Dies! This is awesome! You didn't even have to respond! Thanks...and yes! I enjoyed the CD! I've really been enjoying the underground melodic death metal scene, and discovering you guys was another great moment for me. I will try and find THE KNOWING, but the record store I mentioned only had this CD in stock. Hopefully it will be in. I will buy it.

The Knowing is very cool as is Of Sculptured Ivy.. Amid it's Hallowed Mirth has a differenet feel, more of an old school doom but is also a quality cd. But I would recommend The Knowing as your next ND cd. That was my first and probably my fav, with the latest a close 2nd.

 

[Novembers Paul]

If you have trouble finding any of the CD's, let me know, and I'm sure we can hook you up with the older material.

I'm trying to collect as many copies of FELTF as possible

I would recommend FELTF, but it's out of print... So try OSIASF... It's a great album

Thank you, everyone, for the suggestions!

And if I do have trouble, I will check back here! Hopefully I can order them through my local record store.

Right now, the song that I'm really into is "Broken." The beautiful opening riff I've had in my head all day, and if you know that riff 4 minutes into the song...the really soft, lush riff...

AWESOME!!!

 

[Steve]

just keep posting here

it's fun

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Well, you guys have welcomed me into the family, so I'm staying!



Hope you don't mind annoying Rainbow Kings!

 

[Steve]

we put up wiht kleo's 25 page signature and I've read nearly every UM forum, and you're a nice guy so there won't be a problem.

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Well, thank you, Steve!

I really enjoy it here!

 

[Steve]

wait, king? you'e overlord...
Are you the same person as King Purple Rainbow?
I've been trying to figure that out fo ra while...

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

And the really cool thing is...that I've been expressing my new-found love for this band after only one CD, and at other message boards people are giving me band recommendations based on the fact that I like "November's Doom-type metal." Which is a good feeling.

 

[Steve]

It's because ND are a great band and they kind of lead a style of metal

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

The bad thing is that I can't find a November's Doom t-shirt at my favourite merchandise online store, www.jsrdirect.com

And I would really wear one. People would ask..."November's who?"

 

[Steve]

I can't find any metal shirts that fit me

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Too small or too big?

Or is it just that the shirts that say extra large aren't really extra large?

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

I don't know if they're at www.headbangersdelight.com either...
