NOVEMBRE, BLOODY-DISGUSTING.COM LAUNCH NEW TRACK "BREMEN" FROM UPCOMING ALBUM "URSA"
"URSA" out April 1 on Peaceville
Novembre, Italy's atmospheric death/doom metal purveyor, has
teamed up with Bloody-Disgusting.com to launch a new track, "Bremen,"
from its upcoming seventh studio album, URSA, which is due out on April 1 via Peaceville. Stream "Bremen" exclusively at: http://bloody-disgusting.com/
Founding member and writer Carmelo Orlando commented on the track: "'Bremen'
is probably the most 'Death Metal' of all the songs on our new album,
'URSA.' It starts with an early-Maiden-ian arpeggio and then it attacks
with a crushing riff which takes good part of the song. There's plenty
of vocal harmonies. Fifths mainly, so medieval! Lyrically I took
inspiration from the novel 'Town Musicians of Bremen' by the Brothers
Grimm, a bedtime story whose morals are about exploitation of our fellow
man."
An additional URSA track, "Umana," can be streamed on YouTube at:

URSA is available to pre-order on CD and LP from the Peaceville webstore at: www.peaceville.com/store. Pre-orders also come with a bonus free three track EP 'Annoluce' plus two exclusive tracks.
URSA
was recorded at Blue Noise Studio and PlayRec studio by Massimiliano
Pagliuso, then mixed and mastered at Unisound Studios by Dan Swanö
(Opeth, Katatonia, Bloodbath). Cover art comes courtesy of Travis Smith.

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."
Added Carmelo Orlando: "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.
