Novembre: What's going on with them?

Distances?

Wow, Carmello's vocals are really out of tune on the first album. It's cool though, because I know what he's capable of, so it makes it easier to listen to!

Well, Metaldisc had that album. I bought it. I want them all. In hand. Readily available. I love what they do.

My favorites off NW are Valentine and Venezia Dismal so far. Cold Blue Steel from Classica. I'm in the process (hopefully) of getting a copy of "Arte Novencento".

Agreed. Good idea, Kush. Recommend a review. Good to see you again, Lion.

The only album of their's I won is "Classica." It sounded pretty cookie-cutter at first, but it has grown on me. I still don't like it as much as Opeth or Agalloch, but Novembre is a good band.

 

[ControlledChaos]

whoa how in the heck can't you get into Carmelo's vocals? The guy has an amazing vocal delivery all over NW! This band is truely phenomenal.

Opethfan: if you don't like them better than opeth, wait till you hear Novembrine Waltz. You will, you will. Heh heh...

 

[Opethfan1980]

Controlled Chaos, I doubt it. Seriously.

 

[Demonspell]

I also found the vocals to be a bit tentative on the clean parts, takes some time to get acquainted with...

Dude!!! I assume you're referring to me here!? I'm talking about on Novembre's first album, 'Wish I Could Dream It Again' from 1994!! The vocals on that one are ok, but pretty all over the place.

Of course his vocals are amazing now. 'Novembrine Waltz' is my third all time favourite album, and I prefer his vocals to Mikael's!

I had 'Classica' for ages before I got 'NW', and I can tell you that 'NW' leaves it for dead. 'Classica' is a great album, no doubt about that, but the new one is not just great- it's phenomenal.

I was going to buy a Novembre album today, but the store I was at didn't have any. Damn them to hell.

yea 'Wish I Could Dream It Again' has terrible vocals...is their second album any good?

 

[requiem]

Yeah, it's heaps better. I haven't heard it that many times (I just downloaded it yesterday), but the music and vocals are more like the Novembre of today.

You can still see the progression happening, but they're not as bad.

NW is a bit gay. Classica has much more emotion... WÝsh I could dream it again has one of the best novembre song "Sirens in Filth".

So guys..I took your word for it and I got Novembre's "Novembrine Waltz" today. I will insert it in my cd player in a few seconds.

I trust in you

 

[Ermz]

I'm currently listening to 'Distances'... I can't get into them... not a good sign...

THANK YOU. You're the first person I've heard to utter a kind word about this album. I'll look to hearing "Sirens.."

No, it's usually not. Listen. When I first got NW and Classica, I only listened to NW. I didn't really like what I heard. It sounded like they had skills but were just throwing them all in the same pot at once and it sounded almost terrible to me. There was too much going on and I didn't like it. Valentine was the first song I warmed up to. After that... I was interested in what Classica was. I wanted to hear more from the band.

Just give it more time is all I'm saying.

I want those albums too!!! They are near impossible to find

. I also want their earlier catacomb albums. They must be digitally remastered and re-released! maybe if we can get more people to love them...

 

[Ermz]

Alright, will do Opet, thanks for the advice.

I think Novembre is the best melodic death metal band ever(along with Opeth, but I like them more). I haven't heard anything from them for a looong time. Anyone know what they are up to?

Hi! I was at their probably last gig (for this year) last saturday, in Vicenza, Italy. Carmelo told me they are working on the new album, that will be out next october. Bye

 

[ControlledChaos]

To be honest, it took me multiple listens to start connecting with NW too, but now I can't help but shiver everytime I hear the end of Everasia or the piano in Comme Pierrot....
