Materia (album)

Materia is the sixth studio album by Italian band Novembre. This album saw Novembre take on a sound consisting of an evident progressive rock influence, with mostly clean vocals and very few growled passages. "The Promise" is a cover of a song by the band Arcadia. "Croma" and "Nothijngrad" were originally written during the writing of Novembrine Waltz, but were unused until this album. These two tracks were a gift for the fans who awaited the release of this album.
