I bought one of their albums a few years ago - I think it was "dreams" something - and I didn't like it. I don't hate this style of metal but I didn't think this album was a good example. If they've improved since then I would re-investigate.

NOVEMBRE Returns With Words Of Inigo Album In November; “Your Holocene” Single Streaming


"... Coinciding with 35 years since Novembre’s original inception under the Catacomb moniker, and after an extended period of inactivity following the release of 2016’s acclaimed URSA album, the newly reinvigorated Italian pioneers of atmospheric doom/death metal return with their most elaborately adorned and sonically refined opus to date in the shape of ninth studio album, Words Of Indigo, set for release on Peaceville on November 7.

First single “Your Holocene” is now available.

Speaking about the new track, songwriter Carmelo Orlando shared
The main riff of this track is deeply rooted in the ‘80s, whether AOR or pop-rock. It’s hard to say exactly where it has sprung from, but I just know it’s extremely catchy — a true earworm. This song practically wrote itself — its structure was ready within a couple of hours. The lyrics describe a primal soul, coming from a distant era – raw, rough, yet pure. A state of being in which many people are forced to live their existence, trapped with no way out, unaware of their rarity, purity, and yet, capacity to cause harm.

An exquisite and finely textured display of creative prowess exploring themes of danger and innocence, fear and nostalgia, this latest journey takes us through the torrents of raging death metal and sweeping, uplifting passages of serene poignancy, all woven together as finely crafted and layered melodic epics.

Novembre also features new blood for Words Of Indigo, following the recent departure of longstanding member Massimiliano Pagliuso, with the introduction to the line-up of Fabio Fraschini (bass), Alessio Erriu (guitar), Federico Albanese (guitar), and Yuri Croscenko (drums). The album also notably features a guest appearance by Ann-Mari Edvardsen, known for her former work with Norwegian greats, The 3rd & the Mortal, on the anthemic ode to reflection, “House Of Rain”.

Mixing and mastering work was carried out by legendary producer extraordinaire, Dan Swanö (Opeth, Katatonia, Bloodbath) at Unisound Studios. Artwork for Words Of Indigo was created by renowned artist Travis Smith (Opeth, Katatonia).


Words Of Inigo will be available on limited curacao colored vinyl LP, black vinyl LP, CD, and digitally. Preorder here...."

NOVEMBRE Release New Single “House Of Rain” Featuring Guest Vocals By ANN-MARI EDVARDSEN; Music Video


"... Carmelo Orlando on the origins of the track:
The moment the main motif of ‘House Of Rain’ poured out, I knew we had something special. It’s not the kind of theme you stumble upon every day — an instant sing-along that needed special care. That’s why we put extra effort into shaping this track. Once it was done, I felt it needed another vocal line an octave higher. That’s where the idea of female vocals came in. Luckily, one of my all-time favourite singers, Ann-Mari Edvardsen (ex-The 3rd And The Mortal) — with whom we had already collaborated on Novembrine Waltz — had just moved to my hometown in Sicily. It felt natural to reach out for a second collaboration… and that’s where the magic happened. The band was phenomenal — the rhythm section thundering ahead like a train,and the solo lifted the piece to soaring heights. Like something out of a fate-driven novel, it all came together — Ann-Mari, my return to Sicily — and the lyrics could only be about an old house, the ones we leave behind, and the silence they must have carried all those years without us kids tearing through their rooms. Do they miss us? Do they feel lonely?
