comment: |
The label issue is a bit complicated: the cover claims "1994
produced and released by Regress Records", "1995 marketed and
distributed by Avantgarde music" and there's also a mention
"Im Vertrieb von Nuclear Blast eastwest". There are also two catalog
numbers, written as "BTT004/AV010". However Avantgarde seems to be
more often mentioned in relation to this album,
see the official website for instance.
bio : |
Novembers Doom is a death/doom metal band from Chicago,
Illinois. Novembers Doom is one of the earliest U.S. doom/death
metal bands that are still active today among with Evoken
and Rigor Sardonicous. Novembers Doom formed in 1989 as the
death–thrash metal band Laceration. Gradually the band began
to change their sound towards a heavier, slower style, at which
point the name Novembers Doom was adopted as the band members
felt it more suited their current direction. By 1991, the band
was getting noticed in the metal underground for their dark heavy
music on early demos (such as the Scabs demo, which was recently
re-released as part of the Amid Its Hallowed Mirth remastered CD
released in 2008). Exploring and expanding, the band added female
backing vocals and continued its thick, eerie brand of metal. An
early 7 inch record deal with Regress Records, of Italy, allowed
Avantgarde Records to hear the band. This recording was heavy,
combined with moods of darkness and despair. The two songs would
lead to the release of the band's full length debut CD, Amid
Its Hallowed Mirth on Avant Garde and Nuclear Blast in early
1995. Shortly thereafter, the band had a lineup change, which
would include Jim Bresnahan of Contagion, Cianide, Kommandant
fame and a new two song demo was recorded, Her Tears Drop. A
compilation track for Pavement Music soon followed. By 1996, the
band found themselves having yet another major lineup overhaul,
with vocalist Paul Kuhr and female vocalist Cathy Jo Hejna
eventually being the only two original members left. In 1997, the
newly revamped and refocused lineup of Novembers Doom released
the EP For Every Leaf That Falls. The disc was well received,
leading to favorable reviews and response worldwide. This led
to the band signing a new deal and releasing their second full
length album Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers, with Martyr
Music Group. This new offering had received rave reviews and
much media attention, and even received high praise in print
from their peers in My Dying Bride and Moonspell. In May of 2000,
Novembers Doom entered the recording studio once again, to record
the follow up to Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers. The band
has recorded The Knowing with Studio One's Chris Djuricic. The
CD is an extension of the previous material, only taking steps
in new directions to enhance their already original sound. In
July of 2000, Novembers Doom officially became a member of Dark
Symphonies. Realizing the band's potential, they constructed
a deal with Martyr Music Group, to include the band on its
roster, releasing The Knowing to the public. Now, with their
third full length release receiving praise, and a European
licensed release of the CD through Pavement Music, Novembers
Doom secured themselves more attention than before. To Welcome
the Fade In October 2002, Novembers Doom entered the studio
to begin work on their second full length of new material
for Dark Symphonies. The band's fourth full length album
would be entitled To Welcome the Fade, only this time they
recruited the talents of the Grammy Award-winning producer,
Neil Kernon. This album was chosen as the Number One metal album
of 2002 in Metal Maniacs magazine by one of its head editors,
Novembers Doom was also a featured cover story on their January
2003 issue. Signing with The End In 2004, a successful tour
in North America with The Gathering eventually leading to a
signing with The End Records that summer. During that tour,
a cd sampler was given away at each show, entitled Reflecting
In Grey Dusk, which featured songs from each previous release,
as well as a early demo version of the song, In The Absence Of
Grace. This song was listed on the cover as being included on the
upcoming album, Ascension. However by the time the new album was
recorded, the title of the album was changed to The Pale Haunt
Departure. The album was recorded in the Fall of 2004, and this
time around the band enlisted the help of the very respected
producer and artist Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath and
Nightingale) for the mixing duties, and the mastering went to
metal guitarist and producer James Murphy (Testament, Obituary
and Disincarnate). The engineering duties were handled by
Chris Wisco at Studio One in Racine, Wisconsin. In March 2005,
The Pale Haunt Departure was released with a tour supporting
it. Novembers Doom continues to forge ahead, meshing diverse
musical styles and textures in the pursuit of always creating
a new and unique listening experience with each new release,
while retaining their heavy sound and dark lyrics. With the
incorporation of new guitarist/songwriter Vito Marchese, a
more straightforward death metal approach was incorporated into
the songwriting, while still retaining some of their previous
dark doom/death sound on certain songs. In November 2006,
Novembers Doom performed their first full length overseas tour
in Western Europe, touring with the bands Agalloch, Saturnus,
and Thurisaz in support. Shortly thereafter, in early 2007, they
released their next cd, The Novella Reservoir, which continued
further down the musical path the band had embarked upon with
the previous cd. This new cd garnered many favorable reviews and
attention for the band. They returned to Europe later that year
to record their upcoming DVD release, The Novella Vosselaar:
Live In Belgium, at the Biebob Club in Vosselaar, Belgium. The
DVD is scheduled for release on August 5, 2008. A live cd is
also tentatively planned, with no release date set yet. 2008
has also seen the re-release of the band's first two CDs, Amid
Its Hallowed Mirth and Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers,
on their current label The End Records. Both CDs feature new
artwork, bonus tracks, and remastered sound. Most recently,
in June–July 2008, the band returned to Europe for their
third road trek, most notably performing at the Graspop
Metal Meeting festival on June 28, 2008 in Belgium.

Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future"
obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
As a possible first in the scene (is it really?), we provide an nfo
that is designed to be both human and machine readable.
It is not so interesting for the average joe ripper listener but it
will be a useful tool for siteops, nukers, dupedb and archives
curators.
Why this?
Because we need a structure that can support metadata and UTF8.
As years pass, dirnames are getting stuffed with more and more
metadata. It is impossible to parse 100% reliably because dirnames
are just not designed to be storage for heterogenous metadata.
With id3v2, vorbis and .yml.nfo files, we can fix this problem,
we can have a more reliable dupechecking, automate common tasks,
filter and sort releases based on different metadata, such as
label and have more useful subgenres e.g. acid techno, deep house,
djent...
With .yml.nfo, you do not need read access to the media files and
id3 metadata, you can automate mandatory fields checks (eg. source
codec, purchase url)
nfo files supporting the yaml format should have the extension
.yml.nfo
e.g. 00-alice-bob-cd-2018.yml.nfo
The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
compatible. The current schema will be published in the near
future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same
structure and set of keys.
schema_version: 0.0.5
