History
Formation and EPs (2005-2008)
Guitarist Stéphane Geiser and Vocalist Annamaria Cozza formed November-7 in 2005 and quickly released their firsrt EP "Mesmerised" (2006). Recruiting guitarist Yann Berger and drummer Gil Reber that year, they started playing local venues and establishing their reputation as a live act.
While "Mesmerised" established their style, it was 2007's "Angel" and its eponymous EP that got November-7 their first media attention and local radio airplay, and spread the band's reputation further afield.
"Alive!" (2008-2010)
In 2008, a show in Neuchâtel gave the band an opportunity to record their live show. The result was the live album/DVD set "Alive!" which immediately caught the attention of specialist magazines such as Hard Rock Mag, Metal Edge Magazine and Synthetics Mag.
