Novembre

I

taly's Novembre sported a variety of styles from goth metal crooning to doom metal and up-tempo, even atmospheric at times. Under the membership of Thomas Negrini (keyboards), Antonio Poletti (guitar), Fabio Vignati (R.I.P. 2014; bass), Giuseppe Orlando (drums) and Carmelo Orlando (guitars/vocals) their unique style would be demonstrated on Wish I Could Dream It Again (1994).

Only the Orlando brothers and Vignati remained for the release of the follow-up Arte Novecento (1997). Massimiliano Pagliuso moved in on guitar and backing vocals, while Alessandro Niola replaced Vignatifor Classica (2000). Novembrine Waltz (2001) came and went with Damian Cristiani replacing Niola before the Orlando brothers were alone again except for Pagliuso for Dreams D'aZur (2002), an album that was actually a complete re-recording of their debut.

The bass guitar would be vacant until 2007 when Luca Giovagnoli took it but only for a year before Valerio Di Lella took it but for even less time. Materia (2006), Memoria Stoica (2006), The Blue (2007) and URSA (2016) followed.
