[1] Starting out in 1990 as a death metal band (then called Catacomb) in Catania, Novembre grew to develop a unique, atmospheric sound.

Although most of their lyrics are in English, vocalist Carmelo Orlando sings in Italian occasionally in many of their songs.

While Wish I Could Dream It Again displays the band's death-doom roots, Arte Novecento takes on a softer cleanly-sung sound.

[2][3][4] In the mid-1990s, they signed with Century Media to release their next three albums, Classica,[5][6] Novembrine Waltz, and Dreams d'Azur.

[9] After eight years of absence, Novembre completed work on a new studio album, which was released on Peaceville Records on April 1, 2016, called Ursa.
