Peaceville

Formed in 1996, Shining is a Swedish extreme metal band that incorporates many doom metal elements in their music. Their unique sound has earned them the label of "suicidal black metal," although the band themselves would clarify that they are not strictly a black metal band. With their depressive undertones and mostly suicide-themed lyrics, Shining's music delves into dark emotions and explores the depths of human psyche.

If you enjoy artists such as Ihsahn, Zardonic, Mechanical Vein, Rabbit Junk, Dødheimsgard, Major Parkinson, Thy Catafalque, Einar Solberg, Strapping Young Lad, Blitz Union, Devin Townsend Project, Raizer, Maraton,Vulture Industries,Ulver,Circle of Dust ,Enslaved,Blood Command ,Devin Townsend,and Arcturus then you will definitely appreciate Shining's unique blend of extreme and doom metal.

Shining, with their haunting melodies and powerful instrumentals combined with introspective lyrics,is an artist that pushes boundaries within the extreme metal genre. Whether you are already a fan or new to their music, Shining's daring approach is sure to leave a lasting impression on any listener.

THE THIRD ALBUM FROM THE PROLIFIC SWEDISH EXTREME METAL ACT, FEATURING MAYHEM’S HELLHAMMER ON DRUMS – PRESENTED ON LIMITED CRYSTAL-CLEAR VINYL.

Swedish act Shining was formed by Niklas ‘Kvarforth’ Olsson in 1996. Already with a developed sense of direction to his compositions & expression of wholly negative outlook & emotion, Niklas created some utterly oppressive material for the debut release, the ‘Submit To Self-destruction’ EP in 1998, when Niklas himself was still only 14 years old.

'Angst' was Shining’s third album & was originally released in 2002. A development of composition was clearly evident here, working in more subtle twists & complexities to the sinister & wholly oppressive black metal. The work of Shining is intended to reflect the dark & destructive side of the world & human nature.

The album was recorded at The Abyss Studios (Immortal, Marduk & Dimmu Borgir), the famous Swedish recording studio run by Peter Tägtgren, The album was recorded by Tommy Tägtgren.

As is somewhat a trademark of the Shining sound, the album retains a hypnotic quality to the riffs mixed with unsettling vocal anguish, along with acoustic passages & expertly handled lead guitar passages. This was also the first Shining album to feature the legendary Hellhammer (Mayhem) on drums.
