Welcome to Gévaudan's second full length album: Umbra. This is epic, progressive and highly emotive doom.
Through a single concept, Umbra explores depression through the eyes of eldritch horror, culminating in an unrelenting shadow that’s imparted on its sufferer.
As you may have come to expect from Gévaudan, this album gives you monolithic riffs, soaring and tortured vocals, melodic instrumental interjections and lyrical guitar solos. Umbra, however, evolved from the depths. The battle of light stalked by darkness is reflected throughout the concept - the lyrical story, musical tonal shifts and cover artwork all combine in a completely immersive thematic journey.
Umbra delivers 43 minutes of expressive and dynamic doom - from the opening bar to the last, closing note.
Please sit back, lower the lights and crank up the volume to indulge in this epic musical journey.
"with Umbra, Gévaudan are back on a path to be funereal genre greats in their own right." - Kerrang!
"This album is going to blow people’s minds. It’s simply an exquisite album from start to finish." - Outlaws of the Sun
"Umbra has a lot to offer with its particular blend of doom not afraid to dabble in the progressive or epic to really expand the scope of what the massive effort is willing to take on with Gévaudan proving exceptional in virtually all of them.....this is what happens when a band truly finds their own sound and falls fully into it." - Head-Banger Reviews
