French symphonic gothic metal band Penumbra has just released a new album titled Eden via M & O Music. Formed in 1996, Penumbra involves childhood friends linked by an unconditional love for metal music. Since their first opus Emanate (1999), the French band has left their mark with an unconventional line-up of seven musicians, a trio of male (death, black), female (lyrical) singers and oboe, a novelty in metal music.
The Last Bewitchment (2002) and Seclusion (2003) mark the peak of the band when Era 4.0 (2015) introduces Penumbra into the era of symphonic neo-metal. Today, the musical maturity of the band is reflected in the fifth album Eden, revisiting the symphonic gothic metal, work of their deep identity.
Penumbra is a combination of the main metal styles with classical and symphonic music. Rightly affiliated with metal, the band has nevertheless always made it a priority never to lock itself into a specific style. It highlights the antagonism between female voices and metal songs and also integrates real choirs, an orchestra, an oboe, oriental and Celtic sounds always kept as a backbone and binder with metal.
The entire new album, Eden, is now available for streaming and you can give it a listen below. Link
