• About me:What are the origins of Novembers Doom? How did the band start? What's Novembers Doom's history? Etc...
  
  Novembers Doom started in 1989 in Chicago, Illinois as a thrash/death metal project that originally went under the name LACERATION. With vocalist/main man Paul Kuhr at the helm (and the only original member left in the band to date), this era of the band saw the release of several demos, while the sound of the band evolved to become more slow, heavy and doomy while retaining the death metal brutality as well. By 1991/1992, the band had changed their name to NOVEMBERS DOOM, as it was felt that it more suited the feel and "vibe" of the music being created. With this new name and sound, the band signed an early deal with Regress Records, for which two songs were recorded for a single release...but very quickly thereafter, Avantgarde records of Italy came along and heard the two songs, and signed the band to a new deal. This lead to the recording and release of the first full length CD "Amid Its Hallowed Mirth" released in early 1995, which contained songs that had been written/recorded between 1991 and 1994, pre-dating many of the other bands who came along later in this genre of music, not to mention being one of the first death/doom bands, particularly from the U.S., to feature prominently, beautiful soaring female soprano vocals mixed with guttural male vocals. Many favorable reviews were received worldwide, however the band suffered through many different setbacks and lineup changes over the next couple of years. Finally in 1997, a new more consistent lineup was finally put into place with the addition of guitarist Eric Burnley and bassist Mary Bielich, which lead to the recording and release of the much sought after and acclaimed EP "For Every Leaf That Falls", which was self-released. This disc lead to the signing of a new record deal with Martyr Music Group, and in 1998 the band recorded their second full length CD "Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers". In early 1999, before the release of that CD, the band enlisted the talents of new guitarist Larry Roberts and drummer Joe Nunez as full time members. This lineup went on to play many shows in the U.S. in support of that CD, and in the summer of 2000, went in and recorded their third full length disc, a concept album entitled "The Knowing". At this time, Dark Symphonies came along and showed an interest in working with the band, and as such wound up buying out their remaining contract from Martyr Music Group. "The Knowing" was released on Dark Symphonies in November 2000, and went on to sell very well and gained the best reviews of any ND CD up to that point. Eventually a distribution license was granted to Pavement Records in Europe for the release of "The Knowing" there. More lineup changes ensued thereafter, with Mary Bielich relocating to Pittsburgh and joining Penance, and Novembers Doom using "fill in" bassists for live purposes, mainly Mike Lagros of Disinter. In late 2001, the band enlisted the services of Grammy-winning producer Neil Kernon (Nevermore, Cannibal Corpse, Queensryche, etc.) for the making of their fourth full length CD, "To Welcome The Fade". The album was released in late summer of 2002 to much acclaim and praise, gaining the band many new fans and accolades. Novembers Doom were even featured on the cover of the January 2003 issue of Metal Maniacs magazine, and later went on to be named the Number #1 album of 2002 by editor Mike G. of the aforementioned magazine! Again, more lineup changes occurred when guitarist Eric Burnley amicably split for the band in order to relocate elsewhere and settle down with family. Late 2002/early 2003 saw the addition of new guitarist Vito Marchese. Much of 2003 was spent playing shows and writing new material, recording a pre-production demo of new material and in February 2004 the band went on tour in the U.S. with acclaimed acts The Gathering and Agalloch. This tour and the aforementioned demo lead to the signing of a new record deal with the prestigious label The End Records. In October 2004, the band went into Studio One with engineer/co-producer Chris Djuricic (Enforsaken, Soil, Jungle Rot, etc.) to record their fifth and most ambitious full length CD yet, titled "The Pale Haunt Departure". Mixing duties for this disc were handled by the widely acclaimed musician/artist/producer Dan Swano (Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath, Nightingale, etc.), and mastering duties were accomplished by none other than legendary guitarist and studio wiz James Murphy (of Death, Testament, Disincarnate, Obituary fame), resulting in the heaviest and most versatile Novembers Doom album to date, which is being released on March 8th, 2005.
