[edit] Recording

Letters from the Earth was released only in Poland in 1999. On this album, the female vocalist Ada Szarata officially joined the band and sings more than the drummer Robert Baum. The album showcases a more advanced sound production compared to its predecessor. While the album maintains the previous romantic gothic metal style, the overall out put is a bit more intense, slightly faster at some parts while still retaining the doom metal tendencies, and more complicated in songwriting. The album's name might have derived from the book titled Letters from the Earth by Mark Twain, although the lyrical content does not contain clear similarities with the book.[1][2] Letters from the Earth is considered Undish's best album by many, and its out put has been called unique[3]
