Novembers Doom formed in 1989, but it was not until 1992 that Novembers Doom would receive some attention in the metal world. An early deal with Regress Records, of Italy, allowed Avantgarde Records to hear the band. This demo (Her Tears Drop) 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. Exploring and expanding, the band added female backing vocals and continued its thick, eerie brand of metal. A compilation track for Pavement Music soon followed. In 1997, Novembers Doom released the EP For Every Leaf That Falls. The album was well received, leading to favourable reviews and response worldwide. Novembers Doom has since released their second full length album Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers, with Martyr Music Group. This new offering had received rave reviews.
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 bands 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. Kernon, best known for his work with acts like Hall & Oates, Kansas, Yes, Queensrÿche, Judas Priest, and more recently Nevermore and Cannibal Corpse, brought a new power and clarity to the sound of the band. 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. The band entered the studio in the fall to record their fifth album, The Pale Haunt Departure. 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).
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.
The Novella Reservoir
In June 2006, the band's sixth full-length album, The Novella Reservoir, was announced on The End Records' website. The album will contain eight tracks. It is a follow-up to The Pale Haunt Departure.

Silent Tomorrow
Novembers Doom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forever - I can't go on with these endless nights.
My sanity has been stripped away.
Everything is beauty, and I have no love to share.
Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Each time I close my eyes, I only wish for my end to come.
No angels sing for me, and the light of my life dims away.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Destiny awaits me, I cannot carry on this way.
Coward of the dream,
In silence I will rest my eyes.
Crippled by fear, the sights I see.
No means to this end.
This is my only way.
Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Destiny awaits me, I cannot carry on this way.
Coward of the dream,
In silence I will rest my eyes.
The lyrics of Novembers Doom's song "Silent Tomorrow" convey a sense of despair and hopelessness, with the singer expressing their desire to end their life and escape from the eternal suffering they feel. The futile quest for immortality, represented by the lines "Eternity - A gift I no longer want. Forever - I can't go on with these endless nights," seems to have stripped away the singer's sanity and left them feeling alone in the world, unable to find love or meaning in their existence. The repeated refrain of "Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more" can be interpreted as a desperate plea for a new chance to live, to experience the beauty of life, and to break free from the darkness that surrounds them.
The verses "Each time I close my eyes, I only wish for my end to come. No angels sing for me, and the light of my life dims away" reflect the singer's deep sadness and sense of isolation, accentuated by the fact that they feel abandoned by any higher power or guidance. The last lines "Coward of the dream, In silence I will rest my eyes" can be seen as a final admission of defeat, with the singer accepting that death is the only solution to break free from the fear and the demons that haunt them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Silent Tomorrow" are a poignant and emotive reflection on the fragility of life and the human condition, and a powerful tribute to those who have struggled with mental illness and suicidal thoughts.

More than a decade ago is the same as today. My life is a scam, I have been fooled into not killing myself, and now I'm just an old coward, it's been too long to end it now...
