Stream Major Arcana in full:
Thematically inspired by tarot and divination, Major Arcana is a conceptual work where the artwork, design, and lyrical storytelling align to explore fate, transformation, and the unknown. From the ethereal opening of June to the crushing weight of Ravenous and the haunting beauty of Mercy and Bleed Static, the album showcases NOVEMBERS DOOM’s trademark fusion of death, doom, progressive, and folk elements, elevated by the meticulous production of Chris Djuricic and the mixing and mastering expertise of Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Nightingale).
“The long wait is finally over, and today you can officially hear our latest offering, Major Arcana,” shares vocalist Paul Kuhr. “We put everything that we had into this one, and we’re excited to read your responses! Turn the volume up, find the album on any of the streaming services, or pick up a hard copy, and please, enjoy!”
Founded in Chicago in 1989, NOVEMBERS DOOM have become one of the foremost names in American dark metal, evolving beyond their early death/doom roots into a genre-defying force. With Major Arcana, they reaffirm their mastery of atmosphere, heaviness, and emotional depth as they enter their 36th year.
