Novembre is an Italian band whose musical identity fuses the melancholic, atmospheric landscapes of doom and gothic metal with the intricate textures of progressive rock. Formed in Rome in the early 1990s, the band initially embraced a sound that closely resembled death-doom, but has since evolved to incorporate a more nuanced array of influences, leading to a signature style that defies easy categorization. The group's lyrical themes often center on personal emotions, nature, and existential contemplation, echoing their multifaceted sonic backdrop.

With a discography marked by a progression in both production quality and songwriting depth, Novembre has carved out a niche within the metal scene that values both aggression and beauty. Albums like "Classica" (1999) and "Novembrine Waltz" (2001) showcased an early command of melody and mood, while later works such as "Materia" (2006), "The Blue" (2007), and "Ursa" (2016) found the band refining their sound and embracing cleaner vocals and expansive compositions. "Umana" and "Materia (Deluxe)" are further testaments to their ongoing journey, offering a mature combination of powerful riffs, atmospheric passages, and poetic introspection. Despite lineup changes and the passing of time, Novembre continues to captivate listeners with their emotional resonance and transcendent musical voyages.
