Novembre

Starting out in 1990 as a death metal band (then called Catacomb), Novembre grew to develop a unique atmospheric sound. Although most of their lyrics are in English, singer Carmelo Orlando occasionally sings in Italian on several of their songs. They released their first two albums, Wish I Could Dream It Again and Arte Novecento, on the Italian label Polyphemus. While Wish I Could Dream It Again displays the band's death-doom roots, Arte Novecento adopts a softer, cleanly sung sound. In the mid-1990s they signed with Century Media to release their next three albums, Classica, Novembrine Waltz and Dreams d'Azur.
