New England dark sludge band November Fire is back with “Abigail”, their first single off their upcoming album “Doom Blues”, coming in the Fall of 2026. Recorded and produced by the band in basements and cars around New England, “Abigail” is also the inspiration for the start of their “Fireverse”, and this is her origin story.
“When I come up with a riff, sometimes I give it a code name, just things that pop in my head”, says guitarist Dave. “I was watching a documentary about the Salem Witch Trials and the name Abigail jumped in my head. Sometimes the code names stick, sometimes they don’t. In this case, it inspired Terry to create a whole universe!”
“I started thinking about the lyrics and decided, she’s a sorceress!”, adds vocalist and bassist Terry. “And then the lore ideas just started piling up. Now it’s become the foundation for how our past songs connect, and where future stories are headed.”
Expanding on Abigail’s lyrics, Terry adds “Most of our songs have always had themes of personal and societal struggles, now those stories can be set within a deep lore-rich universe, and can be tied together in a galactic struggle for survival, stories from a single person’s trials, to clashes on a galactic scale.”
On the music, drummer Jim Kelley notes “The song has a lot of energy behind it and the layers of vocals give it a real cinematic feel!”
November Fire’s “Abigail” released on May 8, and the full “Doom Blues” album, featuring six epic new tracks, will be available this Fall.
Praise for November Fire’s “2025”:
“modernized, thickened chug… they’ve brought [“2025”] into the sludgy experimentalist context of [their] work now, but it remains dark”
– The Obelisk
“a haunting Psych Metal and Old School Doom-Metal attitude… November Fire employs some freakish Psychedelic melodies”
– Outlaws Of The Sun
“dosed in distortion and dragged through sludge soaked amplifiers”
– Monuments in Ruin
