Second World is the third studio album by Italian gothic doom metal band The Foreshadowing, released on 20 April 2012 by Cyclone Empire Records.

The recording sessions were held at Outer Sound Studios in Rome with Giuseppe Orlando.

[1] Guitarist Alessandro Pace stated: "This is going to be, without any reasonable doubt, absolutely metal.

We worked hard to step forward and gain our melodic side, while at the same time, we wrote the most groundbreaking rhythms we ever played.

But we also wanted to add something new, like true Gregorian choirs and acoustic parts, and also tried to structure the songs in a different way from how we normally do, as we did with “Colonies”.
