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.

Written by The Melting Snow on 17.05.2012 at 18:29 Nah. I don't mind some of Moonspell's early material, and Swallow the Sun have only recently disappointed me with their latest effort. Up until now I haven't disliked any of their albums.

Well, after a few listens to this album, I came up with "all songs the same". Havoc is a highlight and is a really good song. Vocals are amazing. (Still waiting and searching for the lyrics.) They really have the potential but couldn't use it to make their effort worth it. I'm sure they can do much better.

Just good... not very good, I couldn't repeat the songs, somehow it gets boring to continue listening.

Another excellent album. The point people are missing here is that the band don't want to make something like their first album, I don't know how come people think this is boring or the same and such kind, please listen to albums more than 2-3 times before commenting on them, that's kinda noobish... 2-3 times is not enough for getting the gist of this kind of solid albums lads. This album is absolutely their best album so far, Second World, Ground Zero, Reverie Is A Tyrant, Noli Timere and Friends of Pain are just perfect, not for melodic fans tho...

Written by Akbarz on 16.06.2012 at 12:27 Really? Because this is a pretty simplistic watered down piece of gothic metal with traces of doom by my ears - definitely nothing that requires more than three listens to judge properly.

Written by Akbarz on 16.06.2012 at 23:37 "Anyone who disagrees with my taste in music has a hearing problem." Flawless logic you have there.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 16.06.2012 at 23:41 It's not a matter of taste mate, what I'm talkin about here are facts, that's different, you can't name even one album in metal history that all the metal fans love it, there are always ppl who like it and some who don't, but what matters here is the reason, for this album, reasons like "It's not my thing, I don't like clean vocals" and such are all right, but "this is a pretty simplistic watered down piece of gothic metal"... simplistic? well, I told ya mate, listen to it a few more times or go see your doctor

Written by Akbarz on 17.06.2012 at 00:00 I think they should better see a doctor the two idiots who rated 3 and 1 this awesome album. The only fact it's been produced by Dan Swano and the cover album is by Trav Smith does mean there had been a high quality work into it, whether you like it or not, and rating 1 or 2 or 3 it's just a sign of superficiality combined with stupidity.

Every year there's a gothic release everyone drools over that I find absolutely boring for some reason - last year it was Heavenwood, now it's this. I have no idea why. I SHOULD like it, it has all the requirements, but it's not there.
---- 7.0 means the album is good

Pretty good album but I prefer gothic metal with more emotional crescendos while this record pretty flows steadily from beginning till the end.

The Foreshadowing is one of my favorite bands of all time...and this album is really a beautiful album but when i listen more than twice, this becomes so repetitive in a boring way.... strange ! My most favorite track is " Reverie Is A Tyrant", specially that majestic beginning .
