It’s been a while since the last full album by Italian masters of cultivated melancholy The Foreshadowing, but now they return with the first single “Lobbies” from their new studio album “New Wave Order”, set to be released on November 15th, 2024, via Lifeforce Records.
Watch the video for “Lobbies” below.
The mood is dark to melancholic, but also majestic and epic. Hailing from Rome, The Foreshadowing are something like the musical equivalent of the city they come from. Founded in 2005, the group can look back on a successful and eventful history. Listeners of gothic, doom and dark metal are very familiar with the quartet’s work. The Foreshadowing gained popularity in the international scene with four acclaimed albums released between 2007 and 2016: “Days of Nothing” (2007), “Oionos” (2010), “Second World” (2012) and “Seven Heads, Ten Horns” (2016).
In 2023, The Foreshadowing ended a forced break of several years with the EP “Forsaken Songs” and a European tour with Saturnus and In The Woods. Now, “New Wave Order” is the group’s fifth full-length album and their debut on Lifeforce Records. The formation from Rome emphasizes its strengths on the album and offers cinematic tracks of dark music that is nevertheless immensely catchy and mood-enhancing.
While listening to “New Wave Order”, you are whisked away into a world full of secrets and allusions. The path is The Foreshadowing’s goal, which manifests itself in all-encompassing, organically developed musicality. The Italians are outstanding songwriters who create captivating arcs of suspense and also keep an eye on the overarching strands. Nothing else can be expected from this eternal band.
