Should I say Oionos or omen to make it more apparent and/or approachable to the audience? One thing is for sure, to make it more transparent for anyone that's not familiar with the actual meaning of Oionos, it's the Greek equivalent of omen. It serves exactly the aforementioned explanation and the reason for going through this is no other than the fact that Oionos was a magnificent album of parallel beauty and ambiance and the music prophets of our time had foreseen that it was just a prognostic of what would follow, the arrival of Second World. The Foreshadowing are back to the surface with their brand new third full-length release and nothing can hold them back, their time has come and hopefully their journey has a lot of destinations to cover before it comes to a natural ending.

Can't wait to hear this. Me discovering this band in 2010 was one of the year's highlights, their last two albums are seriously awesome.

I've never even heard of this band. I must be losing my touch in my old age.

Well, after hearing the album once, I'm actually a lot less impressed than I thought I'd be. Will definitively give it some more spins.

Very disappointing, i didnt expect it to be weak like that,very boring and repetitive .the only good point can be found is the vocals ,everything so weak .another letdown of the year

One of the more bland releases I've listened to this year... sounds like contemporary Swallow the Sun without the growls and a focus on more ethereal vibes as opposed to haunting ones. Real meh-fest; not understanding the hype over here.

Written by dreadfulhours on 11.05.2012 at 01:17 Pretty much the plodding gothic atmosphere built on fluffy synths and simplistic melodic riffs, subtle nasally clean vocals, and songs that tend to build up and end in a very similar fashion. If they deserve more attention it would certainly be elsewhere, as this album has nearly 100 votes and is one of the highest rated of the year.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 11.05.2012 at 01:29 vocals sounded more like the clean vocals of moonspell than swallow the sun...
