Novembre – Words Of Indigo

The Ninth Studio Album From The Longstanding Italian Pioneers Of Atmospheric & Melodic Doom/Death Metal. Presented On Curacao Vinyl. Novembre's origins date back to September 1990 in Rome, Italy, whereby brothers Carmelo & Giuseppe Orlando created their formative recordings under the name of Catacomb. These songs demonstrated a gothic & doom metal-oriented style, leading to interest among the underground. It was around 1993 that the brothers decided that a name change was in order & Novembre was born, evolving into one of the premier European atmospheric doom bands over the years, with their debut, 'Wish I Could Dream it Again... ' in 1994, helping to launch Novembre onto the international stage. Coinciding with 35 years since Novembre's original inception under the Catacomb moniker & 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 & sonically refined opus to date in the shape of ninth studio album, 'Words of Indigo'. An exquisite & finely-textured display of creative prowess courtesy of founder & mainman Carmelo Orlando, exploring themes of danger & innocence, fear & nostalgia, this latest journey takes us through the torrents of raging death metal & sweeping, uplifting passages of serene poignancy, all woven together as finely crafted & 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 Alessio Erriu (guitar), Federico Albanese (guitar) & Yuri Croscenko (drums). Mixing & 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).
