Sonus Umbra came to life in 1991, formed by a group of physics and math students in Mexico City who drew from their shared love for all things dark, hard rocking and melodic. 25 years later, the band continues casting shadows made of sound. Sonus Umbra has played most progressive rock festivals in North America, from ROSfest to Terra Incognita, sharing stages along the way with the likes of Spock’s Beard, Stick Men, Haken, Thank You Scientist, and Glass Hammer. The band’s new studio album, Beyond the Panopticon` is a showcase of the band at its most elaborate and ferocious, yet it is also their most melodic material to date.
You can order the album directly from the band (including a special bonus download not available with the CD) starting November 17th, 2015. Available in stores January 5th. Listen to a new song, Alone Together Alone, at shadowsmadeofsound.com/listen
