Major Arcana by Novembers Doom
NOVEMBERS DOOM return with their twelfth full-length album, which is entitled "Major Arcana". Following six long years after their acclaimed latest opus "Nephilim Grove" (2019), the American dark metal stalwarts have raised the stakes even higher by creating a conceptual album that thematically draws inspiration from tarot and divination. This overarching theme reflects in the artwork and design of "Major Arcana" as well as in the lyrical storytelling throughout the album. Founded in 1989 in Chicago, Illinois by vocalist Paul Kuhr, NOVEMBERS DOOM have continued to grow and evolve over more than three decades. Initially emerging as one of the leaders of American death doom, their debut album "Amid Its Hallowed Mirth" in early 1995 set the band firmly on a dark musical course. Over the following years, they have gradually refined and developed a style that they have coined "dark metal". NOVEMBERS DOOM's mastery of seamlessly blending their death metal and doom roots with progressive, folk, and classic rock influences has allowed the band to grow and change in fresh and surprising ways, while always retaining their signature feel and atmospheres that have remained a constant throughout the band's career. From the hauntingly ethereal vibes of the opening track, 'June', through brutally crushing songs like 'Ravenous', as well as the epic sadness and yearning of tracks like 'Mercy' and 'Bleed Static' to the frenetically energetic hooks found on 'The Fool' and 'Dusking Day', their twelfth opus witnesses NOVEMBERS DOOM covering a wide range of sounds and emotions. Get ready to hear "Major Arcana" and to see it unleashed onto an eagerly anticipating world!
