Ever since their formation in 1990 under the name of CATACOMB, the Italians have risen to become one of the leading names in atmospheric death/doom metal; having recently released two albums on Peaceville Records with "Materia" (2006) and last year's highly acclaimed "The Blue".

"Classica" evoked many traits of progressive death metal, and is often compared to the earlier works of OPETH. Intricate melodic guitar passages effortlessly skip between acoustic atmosphere and distorted heaviness to give a good contrast to the album's overall sense of mood. The vocals of Carmelo Orlando further heighten the emotion with impressive clean vocal passages blending with the classic "growled" style so familiar to the genre.

The album was recorded at Outer Sounds Studios in Rome in 1999 and was mastered by Andy La Rocque at Los Angered Studios in Sweden.

NOVEMBRE's latest album, "The Blue", was released in November 2007 via Peaceville Records. The CD was recorded at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland with producer Mikko Karmila (NIGHTWISH, SENTENCED, AMORPHIS).

A video for the song "Anaemia" (taken from "The Blue") directed by Tobias Martinsson can be viewed below.
