New news...

[Darkness_Claimed_my_Flesh...]

Hey guys... is anyone still alive in here? Well i got a letter in the post from Carmello with my copy of Arte Novecento saying that they are hoping to get back into the studio later this year!

" The album; well I can only say expect something by next spring!! "

from the email

To tire you over in the meantime give this band a listen... Pilgrim from Sydney, Australia. Heavily influenced by Novembre, Agalloch, Opeth, Anathema, etc.

Hey el Darko,

Loving the stuff by Pilgrim, very raw emotion and can hear that melodic influence of Novembre's stuff as well as the lead and acouticy folk sound of agalloch... very cool. Thanks again!

OMG - this is seriously the best news I have heard in a reeeally long time and to prove it I made an account just to say this!! GAH!!

I'm just like Silence--made an account just to say this is great news. You say you got a letter from Carmelo in the mail...does the guy have Facebook? Twitter? I've been scrounging the internet looking for some way to directly contact him, to tell him thanks for the best music I've heard in a long time, and if he can get the backing in any way, *PLEASE* come to the States! We're dying for some good music here!

 

[downandunder]

good to hear.. hopefully it's all going as planned for them

 

[Darkness_Claimed_my_Flesh...]

Good news, I miss new Novembre stuff. I suppose they are still with Peaceville

 

[Nostalgiaplatz]

Thanks for the news. I personally would rather not see them though. We all know how Novembre release dates are prone to shift. Being a little negative can be helpful to get rid of the anxiety.

Pilgrim is great. I wouldn't say they remind me of Novembre, they sound like they run in their own category. However, some vocal bits reminded me of Room with a view (another italian band mentioned in this forum a few times)

 

[The Minds Eye]

Weird that there hasn't been any news in a while, I thought they were slowly gaining a bit more attention/touring opportunities with each new release.

 

[Darkness_Claimed_my_Flesh...]

Any news? Also, Nostalgiaplatz, how can i get my hands on some more Room With A View music.. they only have the one track on myspace??

New Pilgrim song up in the meantime.... http://www.facebook.com/thepilgrimband

 

[Nostalgiaplatz]

Sorry, I'm afraid I have no idea either. I happen to have suffered a major disk crash back in 2008 and lost about 40gb worth of mp3s and videos (including all rarities from Novembre live...)

 

[Nostalgiaplatz]

If you find it, please let me know 'where'

And by the way, in this video of pilgrim, they sound more like the italian band 'en declin' than Novembre

Nostaligiaplatz
You have some AWESOME taste in music... just checked out En Declin and they are amazing! love them, very similar to some of Klimt 1918's work (Who i believe you got me into years ago as well). Any more music in this type of style you could recommend? I just recently started listening to Immanu El and they are brilliant if you havent checked them out yet...
Thanks so much!

[Nostalgiaplatz]

Wow, that was a massive cumpliment, thanks Mj! I am glad you enjoyed it

Some bands I'd recommend, some of which you may already know:

* Proyecto Postumo -- not sure if they exist in a format other than youtube, I only found them there. Here's my youtube playlist -- quite possibly the closest thing to Novembre, sometimes a bit of a declared rip off.
* Allucard - e.g, this they are a bit gothic, which I don't particularly like but there are some harmonies that remind of Novembre.
* Vertigo Steps -- fantastic band from my home country. My Playlist
* Nahemah - just found out about this band today, so can't say much. It's sounding pretty cool as far as youtube videos, etc.
* Arctic Plateau is quite similar to new school klimt
* Graviton - the album "Massless", which I believe is their only released album is fantastic. The band challenges classification, to be honest.
* Meniscus - Absense of I
* Cormorant

Non-metal bands:
* Mew
* Arms and Sleepers
* Downy (The song Zen)

Hope it gets you busy for a while!

 

[Nostalgiaplatz]

Nahemah is right in between Klimt 1918 and Novembre... I totally love their sound/songs; whether they will be able to stand the test of time like Novembre and Klimt 1918, is a slightly different story I feel like starting a band right about ... now.


Now playing: Nahemah - Siamese

 

[Nostalgiaplatz]

And Pilgrim does it again. Great cover from a great song that I'd wish I could sing myself

[songless]
