Third and latest album The Foreshadowing. On Second World The Forshadowing shows a bit doomier side then they did on Oionos. The doom influences are more clear and the album is overall gloomy and somewhat heavy in some parts. This could be their best one so far with compatition from their good debut "Days Of Nothing". Solid, gloomy and dark album that suits great for a dark rainy evening.
