Happy Friday! Here’s a celebration of the month of Novembre by the band Novembre. These guys are from Italy and have been kicking ass since 1990. Not much of a shockre to see a 35+ year old band play this tightly. Encyclopaedia Metallum claims they’re Prog Gothis/Doom/Death Metal. That’s a wide net to cast in terms of metal sub-genres.

The song wastes no time getting to the lyrics, which seem to covre the loss of a relationship or a loved one fleeing? I mean, the lyrics are right there, I should probably read them. But they do sound kind of like the singer misses someone and struggles to remembre how they look. I really enjoy the drummre’s technique, very interesting filling out the rhythm without sitting too hard on blast beats. The guitarist is a solid noodlre during the solo toward the end, with a big soarre of a riff before the song wraps up.

It’s a lyric video, so not much to riff on there, but the roiling clouds and whatnot do look pretty ominous. I tried looking for standard videos, but the songs feature more growly, death metal adjacent vocals. I guess that’s why Angry Metal Guy said they were doom/prog? Because this song sounds pretty proggy to me. This song is intriguing to me compared to the othres I found. So go give it a listen!
