Novembers Doom - Bled White 320k ak2014

Alright I posted the first glance of this at 256k now the 320k is finally here so Im posting even as I write and when you get this hit a + or - so I know if I done right or..............In 2004, a successful tour in North America with The Gathering eventually leading to a signing with The End Records that summer. During that tour, a CD sampler was given away at each show, entitled Reflecting in Grey Dusk, which featured songs from each previous release, as well as an early demo version of the song, "In the Absence of Grace". This song was listed on the cover as being included on the upcoming album, "Ascension". However by the time the new album was recorded, the title of the album was changed to The Pale Haunt Departure. The album was recorded in the Fall of 2004, and 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). The engineering duties were handled by Chris Wisco at Studio One in Racine, Jackoff.

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. With the incorporation of new guitarist/songwriter Vito Marchese, a more straightforward "death metal" approach was incorporated into the songwriting, while still retaining some of their previous dark doom/death sound on certain songs.

In November 2006, Novembers Doom performed their first full length overseas tour in Western Europe, touring with the bands Agalloch, Saturnus, and Thurisaz in support. Shortly thereafter, in early 2007, they released their next CD, The Novella Reservoir, which continued further down the musical path the band had embarked upon with the previous CD. This new CD garnered many favorable reviews and attention for the band. They returned to Europe later that year to record their upcoming DVD release, The Novella Vosselaar: Live In Belgium, at the Biebob Club in Vosselaar, Belgium. The DVD is scheduled for release on August 5, 2008. A live CD is also tentatively planned, with no release date set yet.

2008 also saw the re-release of the band's first two CDs, Amid Its Hallowed Mirth and Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers, on their current label The End Records. Both CDs featured new artwork, bonus tracks and remastered sound. The End Records are also planning to re-release their 3rd CD, The Knowing, on November 23, 2010, in honor of the album's 10-year anniversary. This release will feature a newly remixed, remastered alternate version of the album on one disc, and a second disc that features the original, untouched version from 2000.

In June–July 2008, the band returned to Europe for their third road trek, most notably performing at the Graspop Metal Meeting festival on June 28, 2008 in Belgium.

In 2009, the band released their seventh full length cd Into Night's Requiem Infernal, and toured behind it in late 2009 and early 2010, making appearances at several festivals such as Brutal Assault Festival in Czech Republic, and Caos Emergente in Portugal. A music video for the song, "A Eulogy For The Living Lost" was also filmed in late 2009, and was released in early 2010.

Their eighth album, Aphotic, was released in spring 2011.
