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. 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.
