    As you might know i fucking love FoS, and i consider "Where Dreams Turn to Dust" one of the most intense doom metal releases i've heard. The song "Eternal Autumn" changed my persperctive on music forever... anyway, about the band, this is what i've read:

    Forest of Shadows started as a one-man-project by Niclas Frohagen (vocals, guitars, keyboard) in 1997.
    In 1998, he released the "Under The Dying Sun" demo with 6 tracks and "The Silent Cry" (with 4) by himself. In that year, he got together with Micce Andersson (drums, bass, violin, keyboard), and Martin Claesson (guitars). They had unstable session bassists and drummers for the few gigs they've played, but FoS decided to focus on the studio work.
    In 1999, they recorded a Promo cd containing "The Silent Cry" (the one you heard) and the Katatonia cover "Rainroom". In 2000, they released the "Where Dreams turn to Dust" demo, after which Martin left.
    They got signed by Rage of Achilles and released "Where Dreams turn to Dust" as a MCD in 2001. On that year, they started to work on the new full-length album. The duo co-wrote 4 songs, but Micce left the band on 2002. So Niclas has been working on it by himself, he finished it this year in March, but due to Rage of Achilles having financial problems it couldn't be released.
    About a month ago, FoS was signed by Firebox (the growing label with great doom metal bands). The album titled "Departure" should be released soon. The production took 3 years... 3 FUCKING YEARS MAN!!!. You can hear unmastered samples of "Departure" in their site. I got two 2-minute-long promos (Bleak Dormition and Departure) in my folder. So... "Forest of shadows Departure" is by far the most precious item on my Wishlist... :D

    Niclas Frohagen has another band, a duo with Stephané Peudupin called Ningizzia. They're dark metal, started being violent death/doom-like, but now is more layed back-dreamy metal with some double-bass parts. The curious fact: Niclas lives in Sweden, Stephané in France. It seems this duo works on their songs via internet.
    I suggest you get "Dolorous Novella", if you like FoS.

    Whoa... it seems i typed too much... :P

    I've been introduced to FoS by Mario a few months ago, I liked them so much that I took them to Cervantino's festival hahaha, so .. it was kinda funny, cuz everybody was listening to shitty cumbia and salsa music, and POP and stuff (in the guest house I stayed) and I was listening to EToS, FoS, Kalmah, Equilibrium etc etc, and well, with EToS and Kalmah and sth they were like: "this guy is fucken nuts :? ", but with FoS they were like: "hey, why the hell did you come here for?.. plz dont try to commit suicide or sth, you're going to ruin our party!!" hahahahahahah!

    well that was more a Vip tale that an usefull entrie so, the only songs I have here are:

    Eternal Autumn
    Of Sorrow Blue
    Rainroom
    The Silent Cry
    Under The Dying Sun
    WIsh


    so... which ones am I missing? (despite the new still-non-released album)

    Well done Viperion!!! *shakes hands*. Fuck that cumbia shit!

    There's a song called "Moments In Solitude" from the "Under The Dying Sun" demo, which i've never found. That demo also contains "A November Dream", which has been re-recorded and will appear on the "Departure" album as track 2.

    Besides that, you have all of their songs. :D

    And btw, FoS call Katatonia's "Rainroom" a masterpiece. I just heard the original version once again... i agree. :D
