Italian masters of doom Novembre are back with the third single/video from their new album »Words Of Indigo«, set for release today November 7th.
Speaking about the new video, songwriter and lead vocalist Carmelo Orlando shared:
“This is a very diverse track that blends many of our influences from early ’90s avant-garde death metal. There’s a use of left and right harmonies very typical of what was played around ’94-’95. The layered fast-picked riffs are also strongly anchored in the European scene of that period. It’s a song that breathes and has moments of melodic openness, with a very catchy chorus. I believe mixing it wasn’t an easy task for Dan Swanö, but as usual, he managed to make it clear and defined in every part. Its lyrics speak of the innocence and solitude of electric-blue souls – figuratively, like the planet Neptune. Little flames that know no malice and live in a stray way, in packs, for companionship, out of fear of the dark hours.

For this video, we completely relied on the experience of Greta and her Kinorama Studio’s team. It was a fun yet highly professional journey. We truly appreciated how they managed to blend old analog techniques with modern digital artistry. The outdoor scenes are pure cinematic art – the best Italian landscapes and the outstanding performances of these young, talented actors turned this video into a real little treasure.”
Novembre’s origins date back to September 1990 in Rome, Italy, whereby brothers Carmelo and 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, and 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, and 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 and sonically refined opus to date in the shape of ninth studio album, »Words Of Indigo«.
An exquisite and finely-textured display of creative prowess exploring themes of danger and innocence, fear and nostalgia, this latest journey takes us through the torrents of raging death metal and sweeping, uplifting passages of serene poignancy, all woven together as finely crafted and 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 Fabio Fraschini (bass), Alessio Erriu (guitar), Federico Albanese (guitar), and Yuri Croscenko (drums). The album also notably features a guest appearance by Ann-Mari Edvardsen, known for her former work with Norwegian greats, The 3rd & The Mortal, on the anthemic ode to reflection, »House Of Rain«.
Mixing and 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).
