NOVEMBRE, METALINJECTION.NET LAUNCH “ANNOLUCE” MUSIC VIDEO FEAT. ANDERS NYSTROM (KATATONIA, BLOODBATH)
Seventh album “URSA” out now on Peaceville
.
Novembre, Italy’s atmospheric death/doom metal purveyor, has teamed up with Metal Injection to launch a music video for the song “Annoluce,” taken from the band’s recently released seventh studio album URSA. Stream the new video, featuring a guest appearance from Katatonia/Bloodbath guitarist Anders Nyström, exclusively at: https://www.metalinjection.net/video/theres-gloom-and-doom-while-novembre-goes-boom-on-annoluce.

“‘Annoluce’ is URSA‘s most immediate track,” vocalist Carmelo Orlando told Metal Injection. “The main riff came out off a medieval Germanic-Hebrew folk song and we made sure it permeated the fabric of our time. We entrusted its video to the visionary talent of director Martina McLean which created an animalist fairy-tale which so accurately mirrors the soul of our album. The talent of Anders Nyström of Doom/Goth masters Katatonia graced us with a performance that made this short film already a classic.”

URSA can be purchased now on CD and LP from the Peaceville webstore at: www.peaceville.com/store and digitally via iTunes at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ursa/id1085803257.

After a period of inactivity since 2007’s The Blue, which involved the departure of longstanding member Giuseppe Orlando, Novembre returns with a new set of potent and poignant tracks, effortlessly transitioning between soothing, epic, melancholy and intense, from what is one of the originators of the whole atmospheric death/doom scene. Headed by founding member and writer Carmelo Orlando, and with a reinvigorated musical alliance with Massimiliano Pagliuso, the line-up is completed by Fabio Fraschini (previously bassist on the Materia album) and David Folchitto on drums. There is also a special guest appearance from Anders Nyström of the Swedish doom master Katatonia, adding his own unique ‘cold’ touch to the album’s single track “Annoluce.”

Carmelo Orlando commented: “This album is a very important step in my life. It got me closer to what some may call ‘maturity.’ I’ve been able to delve even deeper into the chasm of the subconscious and unearth gems I didn’t think existed. Lyrically and conceptually I explored new shores. I moved my ever-inwards headlights, and for the first time I dared to point them outwards, against the squalor of this Orwellian apocalypse we’re committing towards the Earth and its sons, on a daily basis, in quasi-total indifference.”

The seeds of Novembre were originally planted in September 1990 in Rome, Italy. Then known as Catacomb, its early recordings of unusual gothic doom metal were to quickly gain the band interest. It was around 1993 that the band decided that a name change was in order and Novembre was born, evolving into one of the premiere European atmospheric doom bands.
