Novembre (band) explained

Novembre (Italian, 'November') is an Italian doom metal band, formed in Rome in 1990.^[1]

Biography

Starting out in 1990 as a death metal band (then called Catacomb), Novembre grew to develop a unique, atmospheric sound. Although most of their lyrics are in English, vocalist Carmelo Orlando sings in Italian occasionally in many of their songs. They released their first two albums, Wish I Could Dream It Again and Arte Novecento, through Italian label Polyphemus. While Wish I Could Dream It Again displays the band's death-doom roots, Arte Novecento takes on a softer cleanly-sung sound.^{[2] [3] [4]}

In the mid-1990s, they signed with Century Media to release their next three albums, Classica,^{[5] [6]}
