This album was chosen as the Number One metal album of 2002 in Metal Maniacs magazine by one of its head editors, Novembers Doom was also a featured cover story on their January 2003 issue. Kernon, best known for his work with acts like Hall & Oates, Kansas, Yes, QueensrГїche, Judas Priest, and more recently Nevermore and Cannibal Corpse, brought a new power and clarity to the sound of the band. The band's fourth full-length album would be entitled To Welcome the Fade, only this time they recruited the talents of the Grammy Award-winning producer, Neil Kernon.

In October 2002, Novembers Doom entered the studio to begin work on their second full-length of new material for Dark Symphonies. Now, with their third full-length release receiving praise, and a European licensed release of the CD through Pavement Music, Novembers Doom secured themselves more attention than before. Realizing the band's potential, they constructed a deal with Martyr Music Group, to include the band on its roster, releasing The Knowing to the public. In July 2000, Novembers Doom officially became a member of Dark Symphonies. The CD is an extension of the previous material, only taking steps in new directions to enhance their already original sound. The band has recorded The Knowing with Studio One's Chris Wisco. In May 2000, Novembers Doom entered the recording studio once again, to record the follow-up to Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers. This new offering had received rave reviews and much media attention and even received high praise in print from their peers in My Dying Bride and Moonspell. This led to the band signing a new deal and releasing their second full-length album Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers, with Martyr Music Group. The disc was well received, leading to favorable reviews and response worldwide. In 1997, the newly revamped and refocused lineup of Novembers Doom released the EP For Every Leaf That Falls. By 1996, the band found themselves having yet another major lineup overhaul, with vocalist Paul Kuhr and female vocalist Cathy Jo Hejna eventually being the only two original members left. A compilation track for Pavement Music soon followed. Shortly thereafter, the band had a lineup change, which would include Jim Bresnahan of Contagion, Cianide, Kommandant fame and a new two song demo was recorded, Her Tears Drop. The two songs would lead to the release of the band's full-length debut CD, Amid Its Hallowed Mirth on Avant Garde and Nuclear Blast in early 1995. This recording was heavy, combined with moods of darkness and despair. An early 7-inch record deal with Regress Records, of Italy, allowed Avantgarde Records to hear the band. By 1991, the band was getting noticed in the metal underground for their dark heavy music on early demos (such as the 'Scabs' demo, which was recently re-released as part of the Amid Its Hallowed Mirth remastered CD released in 2008).Д®xploring and expanding, the band added female backing vocals and continued its thick, eerie brand of metal. Gradually, the band began to change their sound towards a heavier, slower style, at which point the name Novembers Doom was adopted as the band members felt it more suited their current direction. Novembers Doom formed in 1989 as the death- thrash metal band Laceration.
