New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Formed in 2010 from the mind of guitarist / writer Jeremy Perkins, Montreal, QC, Éohum (pronounced ee-o-um) brings together some of the most dark and groove oriented metals of heavy low end doom riffs to meet black metal atmospheres. With shredding guitar tones uplifted by the French horns plus a touch of clean breaks with beautiful lyrics and vocals, Éohum expand their style within the relentless drive that surround a new air, a new sound, an attempt to join forces with eco-awareness and spirit for their newly unleashed debut album, 'Revelations,
Aurora Of An Epoch' released this week on April 7th via Mycelium Networks as a pay what you want download.

"Our debut album reveals Éohum's blend of its black and doom metal sound, mixing an array of elements, this is the raw sound. We continue writing and look forward to sharing more and develop the sound continually. Lyrically this album represents us well and the direction we wanted to take, bringing to the table chant like hymns and short stories, in a primordial tongue. A cry for eco-awareness and ancestral sciences." comments guitarist Jeremy Perkins.
With so much talent from various backgrounds on the album that includes guest vocals from Matt McGachy (Cryptopsy) (Tracks 3-4-5-7), Lana Edwards (Intro & Outro), Phillippe Rieder (Track 6), Nick Wybo (ex-Vinyl Hero) on drums,
Annie Perreault on French horn/trumpet, Sylvain Dumont on guitar,
James Heymans on bass and Perkins himself on guitar plus a live line up that includes drummer
Simon Mackay (The Agonist) and vocalist Barrie Butler (ex : Tard). Éohum blend the most gruesome with the cleanest of black and doom metal to create hypnotic riffs with seducing horns ready to be injected into the veins of metal fans especially those who hail horns for Emperor, Immortal, Therion, Dimmu Borgir, Deicide, Neurosis and Behemoth.
Fun Fact About Band Name:
Éohum means many Yew trees in old English, Yew tree is the Tree of Life for the English tribes of our past pre dating most of the Celt languages, which blended Latin to their own afterward.
The E without the accent would mean many war horses, so that's why there is an accent, not because it's a French word
