November Coming Fire emerged out of the Canterbury Hardcore scene in Kent, England, in 2001 and quickly became one of the most respected bands of the scene through their intense live shows and debut MCD Black Ballads (released 2003). The MCD itself didn't do anything particularly original, but it did show to those who listened how passionate and dedicated November Coming Fire are as a band, and the hard work they put into the album and touring earnt them support slots with bands such as Converge, Terror and Give up the Ghost. After a whole year of touring, November Coming Fire set upon their real aim; to be a unique and original Hardcore band. Confiding in a massive range of influences ranging over the last 25 years of alternative music, November Coming Fire set upon writing their first full-album Dungeness. On this record, they took all the energy and potential from Black Ballads and threw it against a much more diverse, and essentially, progressive backdrop, until this hate filled yet strangely sensitive record was released. Dungeness, for those who don't know, is a seaside town in Kent, which is also known as "The end of the World". It's depressive yet haunting surroundings were one of the main influences for what is, essentially a concept album. The album is full of riffs and rhythms that pay homage to an impressive amount of bands, and although it's aura and sound is fairly bleak, they still manage to come away with a record that is challenging and overall, uplifting
