Artist History In 1992, the doom/metal world would be introduced to Novembers Doom. An early deal with Regress Records of Italy, allowed Avantgarde of Italy to hear the band. This recording was death and doom combined with moods of darkness and despair. The 2 songs would lead to the release of the bands full length debut CD "Amid It's Hallowed Mirth" on Avantgarde/Nuclear Blast. Exploring and expanding, the band adds female backing vocals and continues its thick, eerie brand of metal. A compilation track for Pavement Music soon followed. In 1997, Novembers Doom released the EP "For Every Leaf That Falls". The mini album was received well, leading to favorable reviews and response worldwide. Novembers Doom has since released their second full length album "Of Sculptured Ivy And Stone Flowers", with Martyr Music Group, Inc. This new offering has received rave reviews.In May of 2000, Novembers Doom entered the recording studio once again, to record the follow up to "Of Sculptured Ivy And Stone Flowers". The band has recorded "The Knowing" with Studio One's Chris Djuricic. The CD is an extension of the previous material, only taking steps in new directions to enhance their already original sound. This CD is everything you would expect from this band, and so much more. Enter Dark Symphonies. In July of 2000, Novembers Doom officially became a member of the Dark Symphonies family. Realizing the bands potentional, they constructed a deal with Martyr Music Group, to include the band on its roster. Novembers Doom is now, right where they belong.The story continues...

Press Reviews "There are many bands similar to Novembers Doom, yet there is no band quite like the Chi-town natives. Sounding like a collaboration between the British Big 3 (Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, and Anathema), the band distills the masterworks of the atmospheric triumvirate, reveling in despair and grievous matters of the heart. Intelligently constructed, so as to bring emotions to the fore, the changes in dynamics and use of multiple voices, both male and female, wind through lengthy instrumental passages that are suddenly interrupted by acoustic guitar, piano or sound effects. Only a few bands on this side of the Atlantic possess the talent to stand alongside the European hierarchy. Novembers Doom are one of Them" Mark Gromen - Metal Maniacs
