khmerfreak Became a fan recently after attending a concert in my little town and fell in love with the music immediately. Lay down on your sofa, pour a glass of red wine, close your eys and let the record spinning. Favorite track: Noli Timere.

Bertrand Marchal For a long time, I circled this project, getting closer to it, and then forgetting about them altogether. I took the time to carefully listen to their music and this album in particular struck me as a wonderful piece of melo doom that was worth my money.

    Since its inception back in 2005 until nowadays The Foreshadowing has gained with its four albums released between 2007 and 2016 a considerable place in the international doom gothic scene. After a 7 years hiatus a some line up changes, the band returned in 2023 with a new EP "Forsaken Songs", including previously unreleased tracks, bringing them back to the scene, to the place they belong.

    This October 2023, The Foreshadowing are embarking on an European tour with Saturnus and In The Woods and, to celebrate such an event, Ardua Music is releasing the long awaited version of "Second World" on vinyl for the first time.

    Remastered for vinyl by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios, "Second World" is a timeless gothic doom metal masterpiece as the band would say: “Second World” was an important album in our career, the evidence of maturity after our first two works and highly acclaimed worldwide. It gave us the opportunity to finally fulfill the dream of touring both Europe and North America. Lots of fans asked for a vinyl release over the years, and now they will be pleased with this beauty just after the decennal of his release and right before a new European tour.

    Enter the second world for a second time, then follow us on to gravitate like satellites, and we try to recall the old days of silence.
    Then we’ll fall down."

Havoc 07:13
Don't you live if you can't sacrifice Don't you plead to someone for more time Don't forget that people need to fight And we can give them all they desire You shouldn't run without a weapon Without a fire To keep alive in your hand We will arrive to find a land to overwhelm To chase the dark and choose to live forever Don't you scream until you're bound to shoot Of your abilities you give us proof We expect you set the world on fire No failure. No compromise You shouldn't run without a weapon Without a fire To keep alive in your hand We will arrive to find a land to overwhelm To chase the dark and choose to live forever Gloria in excelsis Deo Et in terra infernum Gloria in excelsis Deo Et in terra infernum laudamus te
2.
Outcast 04:50
Coming out into the night Our barricades Show the tragedy of outcasts And no words to say When the rebel sun sets behind the assembly line All the humanoids are waiting for the Next sunny day And hours for passer byes Are running faster (and faster) Tomorrow's bringing on a brave new day The man who claims to rule and teach Is only master for the rich And anyway succumbs To the laws of nature in the end And all the prophets on the streets Meeting for tomorrow sleep And hear the sound of sirens In unison they cry The sun and wind are a symphony For the man who builds And thirty years are soon left back As progress steps forward A crowd of outcasts Protect their ignorance into the barricades The man who claims to rule and teach Is only master for the rich And anyway succumbs To the laws of nature in the end And all the prophets on the streets Meeting for tomorrow sleep And hear the sound of sirens In unison they stop
3.
Got lost in a while And later we felt alright We got back together To destroy the night We don't play for nothing And nothing's left inside the grave We needed to fly From the rest of the world Here's no heaven And always, and always feeling Shame and failure Forever and ever, empty souls of nothing And feeling a pleasant urge to fly To fly away Your mothers and fathers Will point the finger on your choice And make you believe You're the shame of the world Here's no heaven And always, and always feeling Shame and failure Forever and ever, empty souls of nothing And feeling a pleasant urge to fly To fly away
4.
Second World 05:37
Here imprisoned in the first world A place full of lost souls There's a ripped world for everyone That's showing our feeling inside Send me your soul With a letter To the second world Send me your body With a letter For a second time Then follow me on to Gravitate Like satellites, and we Try to recall The old days of silence Then we'll fall down Like a cancer in my brain Like a pain it's hard to tell A silence that grows inside Waiting for the world to come Send me your soul With a letter To the second world Send me your body With a letter For a second time Then follow me on to Gravitate Like satellites, and we Try to recall The old days of silence Then we'll fall down
5.
Aftermaths 06:28
Someone lived a lie before the dawn of man Some other lie in heaven hoping for a better cage Our prison was a corridor of steel and gold Our bad mistakes are running in a circle And you can see the damned somebody sent in there As I knew And promises would not be kept again And you can feel the guilt for not having saved this land Once again Your promises will let you be, will let you be condemned Lost in the labyrinth of words and blasphemy We follow the wake of pioneers, of chimneys In the cold of long nights as they ring the bells reversing new hells And towers of steel will rise above the city And you can see the damned somebody sent in there As I knew And promises would not be kept again And you can feel the guilt for not having saved this land Once again Your promises will let you be, will let you be condemned
6.
Ground Zero 04:30
Frenzy in my heart Every second is an earthquake Cars and traffic lights Someone racing after something A rain of dust is in front of our eyes Not far away from here the earth's breaking down Sun of winter, rain of dust Whispering we call our last goodbye, goodbye Mounts of fire, storm from the west Desperate we call our last goodbye, goodbye All our plans and deals All our memories in the pipeline We cannot see it clear 'Cause the skyline don't belong to us Not far away from here the earth's shaking more Sun of winter, rain of dust Whispering we call our last goodbye, goodbye Mounts of fire, storm from the west Desperate we call our last goodbye, goodbye
7.
Absolve domine animas omnium Fidelium defunctorum Sleep with the nightmare of endless time That runs more than you And there's nothing to do Playing with ghosts coming back home Time pressure dictates The rules of the games Oh, my reverie is a tyrant A tyrant inside me Leads my memories And the future is scary like me Oh, my reverie Is a future more scary than me
8.
Colonies 06:20
We fell asleep as we settled in the town Helpless, torn and painless Before the journey we sat beside the fire To speak our final promise And I'm waiting We are waiting For the inner fate to save our life The path was empty, uncovered in the night Stones were cold and flaming But I'm waiting We are waiting For the inner fate to save our life And in the name of the western homicide We built our empire Our sun was shining like crystal in the eyes All around was faded Now I'm fading We are fading Our inner fate destroyed our life And I'm fading We are fading Our hidden fame destroyed our life
9.
Noli Timere 06:00
I get around And find my limits I feel the burden of my chains The others said that I'm nothing, but At last I've lost my faith There was a time when I was praying Due to the uncertainty of my thoughts Then tigers broke in my home through the walls At last I've lost my faith At last I've lost my faith We're here and waiting for The end that will be No windows open for Your church of agony The word is for the prophets The act is for the man Praise for your miracles We're coming your way We're ready for a spirit That's never falling down In death someone's gonna pile The ashes of time 1:17 et cum vidissem eum cecidi ad pedes eius tamquam mortuus et posuit dexteram suam super me dicens noli timere
10.
Friends of pain and fate We're never immortal in the end It's never late when misery comes Tears of rage and hate Are only a memory of the past So don't despair, our enemy's gone Please don't hesitate Our warlord leads to some promised land To get repaired when misery comes Kings and queens are dead They're ashes, just ashes in the air Alone at last, and definitely lost Our memories are ashes in the air Alone at last, and definitely lost
