The USA-based dark metal veterans Novembers Doom have released the first video single, "Major Arcana", the title track of their forthcoming twelfth full-length, due on 19 September via Prophecy Productions.
Novembers Doom's vocalist, Paul Kuhr, states on behalf of the band: "The title track 'Major Arcana' represents significant growth for us, exploring new ideas and taking ourselves out of our comfort zone - both musically and thematically. Yet we are still staying true to who we are and the artistic legacy that we have created for so many years now. Each of us pushed hard to challenge ourselves as performers as well as songwriters, and we could hardly be any prouder of what we have accomplished with 'Major Arcana', both in terms of the song itself as well as the new album as a whole".
Six long years after its acclaimed opus, Nephilim Grove (2019), Novembers Doom has raised the stakes even higher by creating a conceptual album that thematically draws inspiration from tarot and divination.
This overarching theme is evident in both the artwork and album design of Major Arcana, as well as the lyrical storytelling throughout the album. Novembers Doom is pushing forward with renewed vigour and a burning desire to expand its artistic boundaries even further.
Novembers Doom's mastery of seamlessly blending its 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 its signature feel and atmospheres that have remained a constant throughout the band's career.
After enduring the various trials and tribulations presented by the world in recent years, Novembers Doom entered its 36th year of existence with renewed focus and excitement about its new album, Major Arcana.
In further news, Novembers Doom will also reissue a 20th Anniversary Edition of its cult album, The Pale Haunt Departure (2005), on 3 October. This collector's edition full-length will be released on vinyl for the first time, and as a lavish art book (including seven exclusive bonus tracks, rare images, and liner notes). Link
