Melancholic, deeply atmospheric and emotionally gripping Death/Doom Metal from Thuringia, Germany. Originally released in 2014 via FDA Records, DÉCEMBRE NOIR’s debut full-length album A Discouraged Believer stands as a remarkable and timeless entry in the genre.
With seven powerful and masterfully crafted compositions, the band creates an intense journey through sorrow, heaviness and haunting beauty. Combining crushing riffs, dark melodic passages and profound emotional depth, A Discouraged Believer captures the essence of classic Death/Doom while forging its own unmistakable identity.
The album was produced, mixed and mastered by Alex Dietz (Heaven Shall Burn) together with Eike Freese at Project Mayhem, resulting in a massive yet detailed sound that perfectly complements the album’s melancholic atmosphere.
Highly recommended for fans of Opeth (early era), Katatonia, October Tide, My Dying Bride and emotionally driven Death/Doom Metal in general.
