Novembers Doom - New Album Details
The new Novembers Doom album, Aphotic, will be released on May 10th through The End Records.
The band's eighth full-length album features guest appearance by The Gathering singer Anneke Van Giersbergen, world-renowned violinist Rachel Barton Pine (Earthen Grave) and Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity, Bloodbath), who also mixed the album.
According to a press release, Aphotic "has its roots in darkness and melancholic madness, reminiscent of the band's early doom roots but bringing something new and modern to the listener."
Novembers Doom frontman Paul Kuhr comments: "One goal in Novembers Doom is to never repeat ourselves. We aim to constantly challenge our writing abilities to deliver something new each and every time, while maintaining what we feel is our signature sound. We feel we've not only accomplished that with Aphotic, but have pushed our creativity into new musical territory. The result is quite possibly the most unique Novembers Doom release yet."
Aphotic cover art] tracklist:
01. The Dark Host
02. Harvest Scythe
03. Buried
04. What Could Have Been
05. Of Age And Origin - Part 1: A Violent Day

The band released the following statement: "First of all, we're glad to say that, after more than a year being in and out of the studio, the recording, mixing and mastering of the new album The Cimmerian Years finally came to an end.

Second of all, we're proud to announce that we signed a deal with Sleaszy Rider RecordsS from Greece (Ancient, The Elysian Fields, Prejudice)! They will release our third album The Cimmerian Years, which will be available in May 2011!

It's gonna be the known soundscapes of bombast and melody, yet again so very different... Let's just say, it will sound familiar and it won't...
We've uploaded a video, with live footage, from the first two songs that will be on the album: "Broken" and "My Precious Unknown". It gives you an idea of what to expect from The Cimmerian Years. A big thanx to our soundengineer Nik for this one! Enjoy!"
