What I like most about Chicago‘s Novembers Doom is that they’ve never, ever fit. They weren’t death metal when they started out and that was the thing to be and now that their entire city is hopped up on doomly artistry and giant riffs, they’re playing death metal. Stubbornness is a virtue.

The PR wire has the goods on their upcoming eighth album. Dig it:

American dark metal pioneers Novembers Doom have commenced recording of their eighth full-length studio album, Aphotic. The album is set to be released on The End Records in Spring 2011. Aphotic is being recorded at Belle City Sound in Racine, Wisconsin, with longtime Novembers Doom collaborators Chris Wisco at the controls and Dan Swano mixing.

Frontman Paul Kuhr said, “We plan to capture something new from the band. This recording builds upon the foundations the band has laid over the years, but we are taking it into a new direction. We plan to redefine where we stand in our current genre. The darkness is coming, and we can’t wait until you’re able to hear it.”

Throughout the recording process, Novembers Doom will be uploading videos and studio reports to the band’s official YouTube channel. Clips of new material as well as band member updates will be available.
