This review is from: Amid Its Hallowed Mirth (Audio CD)

1995's Amid Its Hallowed Mirth was the debut album from Novembers Doom, one of America's absolute finest doom/death metal bands. The band's early sound was very similar to their European counterparts Amorphis (as in Black Winter Day-era Amorphis), My Dying Bride, and very early Paradise Lost. In fact, listening to this bleak, deathly doom metal brings to mind cold Scandinavian forests a lot quicker than it does the Chicago skyline.

It's not as refined or innovative as the band's later offerings, but Amid Its Hallowed Mirth is still an impressive doom/death metal release, and one that all serious doom/death metal fans should check out, especially now that it has been reissued.

Edition Notes: The End Records reissued Amid Its Hallowed Mirth in 2008. In addition to digitally remastered sound, all-new album artwork, and expanded liner notes, the reissue includes the 2-song Her Tears Drop demo and the 4-song 1992 Scabs demo from pre-Novembers Doom incarnation Laceration as bonus tracks.
