Each album by Novembre has offered something different in a way I adore. The debut album was classic, no holds barred Progressive Death Doom, and one of the first albums ever in the true melancholic Death Doom style more divorced from the more Death Metal tinged style of the early 90’s. The sophomore release was a much calmer and more Gothic Doom album that focused more on clean vocal delivery and slightly catchier music. Classica is in some ways a combination of the two; a melodic, energetic assault of extreme Progressive Gothic Death Doom with influences of Meloblack and Melodeath for that extra bit of power. And it manags to surpass both albums magnificently.
While Classica has unmistakable touches of that fantastic 90’s Gothic Death Doom style (Katatonia, Anathema), it’s also got one boot firmly in the new millennia. Listening to this album, I’m given nostalgia for the 90’s mixed with what was, at the time, a pioneering transition into a style befitting the new era – which of course now, just means even more nostalgia for me of the 2000’s variant. The lyrics are the most striking aspect that puts me firmly in 2000; cold scenery of artificial light, shadowy hallways and snowy streetlights visible through windows paints a picture of how culture was changing at the time. Whereas the 90’s was focused on being xtreme and fantastic, the 2000’s kind of reigned things in and focused on modern reality, especially suburbia. These lyrics dance a fine line betwee ... See More

말랑말랑한 구성과 현대적인 느낌과 둠,데쓰적인 색채가 잘맞게 이어지는 Novembre 의 3집 입니다.전반기 작품중에선 어느정도 짜임새가 있으면서 리드미컬한 구성이 앨범의 atmospheric한 느낌까지 엿보이지만,약간 맥을 끊어먹는?듯한 딱딱한 체인지는 조절하는 부분에서 의 아쉬움이 보였으며,특히 동적인 느낌과 정적인 느낌이 부조화 스럽게 보이는 부분이 아쉬웠습니다.

pritvrdenie, oosobne sa mi viac páči debut, alebo predchodca. Po hudobnej stránke je to celkom dobré, ale spev je slabý

이들의 음악중 가장 처음 접했던 앨범.스웨덴에 katatonia가 있다면 이태리에는 novembre가 있다.
이 앨범부터 사운드가 더 풍부해지고 매력적으로 변했다.
