Эту группу основали два брата-сицилийца, Кармело (гитара, вокал) и Джузеппе Орландо (ударные), переехавшие в Рим в 1990 году. Проект изначально назывался "Catacomb", и под этой маркой год спустя вышло первое демо, "Unreal". И хотя его звучание было неважным, оно произвело некоторое впечатление в дэт-металлических кругах. В начале 1993-го появилась 7-дюймовка "The return of the ark". Необычная смесь меланхоличного готического дума с элементами классики заставила обратить на себя внимание мирового андеграунда. На данном этапе название "Catacomb" перестало соответствовать прогрессу в музыке группы, и команду переименовали в "Novembre". Следующим шагом стало заключение контракта с лейблом "Polyphemus records", на котором коллектив дебютировал с альбомом "Wish I could dream it again". Пластинка, в создании которой помимо Орландо принимали участие Антонио Полетти (гитара), Фабио Вигнати (бас) и Томас Негрини (клавишные), записывалась у Дэна Свано в студии "Unisound". Над следующим диском "Novembre" трудились два с лишним года, а релиз "Arte Novecento" показал движение группы в более мрачном направлении. Одной из изюминок альбома стала кавер-версия песни "Depeche mode" "Stripped". Весной 1997-го в коллективе появился гитарист Массимильяно Паглюзо, а через год на месте Фабио Вигнати оказался Алессандро Ниола. Почти сразу после смены басистов "Novembre" обрели контракт с солидным лейблом "Century media". Запись третьего альбома музыканты проводили в своей римской студии "The outer", а микшировал пластинку Энди ЛаРок ("King Diamond") в гетеборгской "Los angered studious". В поддержку "Classica" коллектив провел европейское турне в компании с "Moonspell", "Kreator" и "Witchery". Запись очередного альбома планировалось провести в начале 2001 года, но в связи с болезнью барабанщика сессии пришлось отложить до октября. Основная работа опять велась в "The outer studios", а вот микширование проходило в марсельской "Sound suite" и руководил действом Терье Рефснес ("Tristania", "The sins of thy beloved", "Morgul"). Выход "Novembrine waltz" сопровождался гастролями в компании с давними друзьями музыкантов из "Opeth" и "Katatonia". И хотя дела у "Novembre" продвигались довольно неплохо, братья Орландо решили сделать шаг назад. Тем более что фаны группы давно сетовали на малый тираж "Wish I could dream it again". Поэтому музыканты задумали заново перезаписать первый альбом в новой аранжировке, пригласив для этого дела своих бывших коллег Полетти и Негрини. А вот Вигнати разыскать не удалось, поэтому пришлось ангажировать сессионщика Фабио Фрашини. В результате работы, растянувшейся на несколько месяцев, на свет появилась осовремененная смесь прогрессив-дэт-металла и готики, получившая название "Dreams d'Azur". //По материалам сайта: hardrockcafe
english wikipediaNovembre is a Progressive Death metal/Gothic metal band from Rome, Italy.Starting out in 1990 as an Italian death metal band (then called Catacomb), Novembre grew to develop a unique, atmospheric sound. They released their first two albums through Italian label Polyphemus, and in the mid-'90's they signed with Century Media, and released their next three albums through it. More recently, Novembre signed to Peaceville Records, and have recently released their seventh full-length, titled The Blue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rome 's NOVEMBRE are a band that has made a solid impression upon both the death metal and atmospheric metal scenes with equally strong results. Ever since their inception, word about the group has spread among the underground scene on a worldwide basis. It was back in September 1990 when the two brothers Carmelo Orlando (guitars and vocals) and Giuseppe Orlando (drums) formed the band CATACOMB. About a year later, in November 1991 they released their first demo, ‘Unreal'. Despite its poor sound-quality it immediately raised peoples' interest among the then-flourishing death metal scene. The 7" EP ‘The Return Of The Ark' (released by Sacra Sindone Records) followed in early 1993 and due to its unusual mix of melancholic gothic doom with classic influences caused even more exposure and popularity in the world-wide underground. Soon after they renamed the band NOVEMBRE, as the former moniker did not represent the bands steadily progressing sound anymore. Things finally felt right and around the same time NOVEMBRE signed to Polyphemus Records. In the fall of 1994 the band recorded their highly-acclaimed debut, ‘Wish I Could Dream It Again...' in Dan Swano's Unisound Studios. This was right around the same time as other leaders of the initial atmospheric scene recorded their first and early albums, making NOVEMBRE among the first bands inventing and playing this sound. After two more years of hard work NOVEMBRE released their second album, ‘Arte Novecento', which showed the band developing into an even darker direction. In spring of 1997 Massimiliano Pagliuso (guitars) joined the band as a second guitarist, and towards the end of 1998 they inked a worldwide deal with Century Media Records. After months of intense rehearsals their third album, ‘Classica', was recorded at the band's own The Outer Studios in Rome in summer 1999 and mixed in Andy LaRocque's famous Los Angered Studios in Gothenburg , Sweden . Classica was supported by a European tour with MOONSPELL, KREATOR and WITCHERY in January, 2000, as well as a gig at Leipzig 's Wave Gotik Treffen Festival. Since the show went down great they were invited for the following year's festival too. Classica's successor came to light in the fall, 2001. NOVEMBRE entered The Outer Sound Studios again to record ‘Novembrine Waltz'. In order to add the icing to the cake they went to Sound Suite Studios near Marseilles and mixed the album with producer Terje Refsnes (Tristania, Sins Of Thy Beloved, Morgul). During November and December 2001, the band supported the album on a European tour along with the outstanding talents of their old friends from OPETH and KATATONIA which marked one of the many highlights in their career. Even though things were progressing superbly, NOVEMBRE felt it was time for a little journey into their past: ‘Wish I Could Dream It Again...' sold out extremely quickly and is nowadays a highly sought-after rarity. Many of the new fans who missed the chance to purchase the debut album back in the day were eager to get their hands on a copy and more than willing to overspend for a second-hand copy. In light of this situation, NOVEMBRE decided to re-record the songs of the album, once more in their own Outer Sound Studio during the summer of 2002, both to give a new sound-treatment to these formidable and well-regarded tunes, and to give fans the possibility to complete their NOVEMBRE collection. To mark the difference between "old" and "new" versions and avoid further confusion, the band decided to rename the album with the title ‘Dreams d'Azur'. Meanwhile things started to fall apart between the band and the label. It seemed as though they had nothing else to give each other. Both parties agreed to terminate the deal, leaving NOVEMBRE free to search for a more appropriate record label. It wasn't long before NOVEMBRE's freedom came to the attention of the British legendary label, Peaceville Records. A label that, with the bands they produced and the albums released, traced a deep and binding mark on NOVEMBRE's song writing spine. Definitely the label they should have always been signed to. Since the signing of the deal in 2004, the band locked themselves up in their garage to write their fifth and best album ‘Materia' once again recorded in their Outer Sound Studios. The charge to give Materia the best sound NOVEMBRE has ever had was given to the Helsinki's Finnvox Studios where the band recorded all the rhythm guitars and completed the final mix. 'Materia' will be available in April 2006, followed by a European Tour...
