Novembre's "Wish I Could Dream It Again..." isn't doom metal
I have to admit that I hear bugger-all doom metal on the debut album from Italian progressive metal outfit Novembre & suspect that the links to that genre are mainly due to the band's later works. There's much more in the way of black metal in my opinion but I feel that it is best served by a sole progressive metal tag so would like to see it removed from The Fallen while maintaining its position in The Infinite.

I've given this album some listening and a review in an attempt to revisit this band whose material I've only spent time with briefly, and well, that was a good reason why the time I've spent was brief. Poor production and execution aside, I agree that there's never really any doom, let alone death-doom, in this release. The expansive complex aspects of progressive metal reign alongside what I hear is the melodic and upbeat while still dark and melancholic atmosphere of gothic metal, a blend that they would explore further in Arte Novecento while eliminating the black metal elements that cover the debut. I'll make an additional judgement submission shortly, but for now I'll vote YES for this one.
Also since this album has already been added to The Infinite, could you please remove this Hall entry that I submitted earlier: https://metal.academy/hall/502 Thanks, Daniel.

I've deleted it as requested.
