After their brilliant 'The Knowing', Novembers Doom are back with their new opus, 'To Welcome the Fade'. In my opinion, they had a lot of work to do to make a better record than 'The Knowing' because I really really like this record! The question is, is it better? Well, I think that 'To Welcome the Fade' is as good as 'The Knowing'. They stick to their guns and gave us a wonderfull piece of work. Again, deep atmosphere, dark vide, depressive, beautiful melodies, melancholy...are the words that comes to my mind when I'm listening to that album. Clean male vocals, death vocals and female vocals are all blend together and that's again a great mix! The production is awesome, it sounds so powerfull! The killer melodies of 'Not the Strong', the atmosphere and angelic female vocals in 'Broken', the powergroove of 'Lost in a day', the darkness of 'Within my flesh' , the beautiful atmosphere and soft melodies that makes me dream in 'If forever' ,'Torn' & 'Dreams to Follow' and the closing, the doomiest track ever, 'Dark Fields of Brilliant', makes that album a true masterpiece....
