Biography
Formed in 1996, Penumbra quickly made a name for themselves on the international metal scene. Since their first opus "Emanate" (1999), the French band has left their mark with an unconventional line-up of 7 musicians, a trio of male (death, black), female (lyrical) singers and oboe, a novelty in metal music. Their eclectic style combines heavy, rhythmic metal with melodic lines of lyrical vocals, classical, ethnic and Celtic instruments that give them a brutal and majestic identity. "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 neometal. Today, the musical maturity of the band is reflected in the 5th album "EDEN", revisiting the symphonic gothic metal, a return to Penumbra first love, work of their deep identity.
