Additional notes:
They published their autobiography, "Novembers Doom: The Wayfaring Chronicles", chronicling the story of the band from the beginning until the album "The Novella Reservoir". The book also includes the lyrics for all their songs, as well as their explanations. The iTunes App Store version of the book covers up to the "Into Night's Requiem Infernal" album, that is not included in the printed version.
The band has close ties with Dead Serenade, with Kozial and Whited playing with Novembers Doom in 1995, and Armelius, Hall, and Whited joining after the 1995 demise of Dead Serenade. Guitarist Larry Roberts followed, joining Novembers Doom in 1999.
Larry Roberts also performed lead vocals at Minneapolis Mayhem Fest on May 6, 2005 in the absence of Paul Kuhr, the band's only show without him.
Paul Kuhr is also known for his album layout designs for such bands as Divine Empire, Council of the Fallen, Angelcorpse and many others.
He also has a death metal side project with former guitarist Steve Nicholson.
Compilation appearances:
"Wet Leather " on "Heart of Gold: A Tribute to Woods of Ypres"
"Dawn Breaks" on "The Cold, The Silent" (Dragon Flight Recordings LLS)
