[DirgeForNovember]

Finally a release date. I've been waiting for this album for years. Because Novembre will be the support band on the European tour and there may be a few Novembre fans here I felt like posting it.

And there's a very nice sample available.

I can't wait...

Even though I wouldn't exactly call myself a massive Novembre fan, I really like their stuff, especially Novembrine Waltz. I'll be buying the new album that's for sure.

I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Sometimes it's hard for me to tell which one is better; Katatonia or Novembre...

:Smokin: Sample isn't that bad at all

Getting ready to listen to the whole thing in about an hour. Can't wait! I didn't even realize they were still doing anything.

Damn straight! In fact, it's quite fucking brilliant!


I, myself, also have been awaiting this album for years. It seems like a long wait in the process considering we had "Dreams D'Azur" to get through first (the remake of wish i could dream it again.) Thing is, that album was pretty disappointing to me - NW it was not.

Samples of all the songs! I got a promo today, and can't wait to get my hands on the real thing in a couple weeks! I haven't really paid close attention to it yet, but it was definitely good and certainly gives the new Katatonia a run for its money...since I haven't paid close attention to it I can't say if it's better, but I won't be at all surprised if I end up liking it more. It's lighter than their previous stuff (well, Wish I could Dream it Again/Dreams D'Azur, Classica, and Novembrine Waltz anyway, it's harder than Arte Novecento). There are hardly any growls at all, and it definitely hearkens back to "arte novecento" now and then (their second album). The beginning of "Comedia" certainly blew my face off, though...they seriously have one of the best drummers in metal. He's just nearly unheard of. Anyway, the album is fairly gorgeous and is the best sounding and most layered of any of their albums, which is really an achievement when you take into account the fact they released Novembrine Waltz.

Novembre are definitely in my top 5 favorite bands, I LOVE all their albums (even though there are a few clunkers on WICDIA/DDA, Classica, and Arte ). I definitely recommend that everyone pick this up, they're a flat-out incredible band and get almost NO exposure (their last albums never were released in the US besides maybe Dreams D'Azur, and ALL of them are out of print now!). And just a warning, I hear they're not very good live! This would make sense cause their stuff is very, very heavily layered on album with tons of overdubs (and the singer has been known to be very out of tune live hohohoho).

This is definitely an album I've been waiting for years to hear. 'Novembrine Waltz' was an amazing album, and I'm sure 'Materia' will be nothing short of incredible too.

Really looking forward to this one. Novembre is my second favourite band, only topped by Katatonia.

Too bad Katatonia and Novembre are not coming to Norway. :S
