Iconic Swedish depressive black metal band Shining has always matchlessly mastered the tightrope act between the edges of genius and madness. Loved and feared alike since breaking into the scene in the late 90s, the main man Niklas Kvarforth is now ready to unleash his most recent masterpiece of depressive bleakness and never-ending misery that reflects his musical genius and eccentric nature with every tune. The self-titled eleventh studio album and Napalm Records debut will get out on 15 September.
The new offering proves Shining to be even darker and more brutal than before - a downward journey in stereo that will drown the world in mesmerizing, inescapable darkness. Kvarforth roots his main musical influences in black metal but does not stick to a single genre alone. Shining combines influences from various far-reaching genres such as classical music, jazz and progressive rock, conjuring grim moods, aching wounds and deep emptiness.
Along with unveiling the new studio album comes the torturing, intense first single, "Allt För Döden". The song turns Kvarforth's inner demons, pain and desperation inside out once more while delivering a stylistic variety that showcases how Shining never fails to surprise its devotees. Embodying provocation since the band's very beginnings it's no surprise that "Allt För Döden" is underlined by a video full of blood, violence and destruction.
Niklas Kvarforth on "Allt För Döden": "'Allt För Döden' is a lengthy homage to Death that will possess your soul during the very first spin!"
Shining is a hauntingly captivating and skilful album featuring a unique metal sound in a true Shining manner, serving the very best of black metal creatively combined with several other influences. The band has sparked a fiery interest with all of its previous offerings, and it is certain that its ruthless upcoming album will exceed all expectations.
Niklas Kvarforth on the new album: "This is our self-titled, eleventh studio album, and it is drenched in an instantly recognizable sound which has been perfected over the last three decades, and that, today, has become the trademark of the band".
