Sweden’s SHINING Set To Release Single

With the long-awaited seventh full-length album out this month on Spinefarm Records, Extreme Metallers SHINING are set to release a CD single which will only be available in their home country of Sweden.  The single will comprise two tracks, one being “Förtvivlan, Min Arvedel”, taken from the new album “VII / Född Förlorare”, whilst the second will be a previously un-released cover of the ALICE COOPER song “Prince of Darkness”.

This will be the first time that SHINING has released a single, and founder and front man Niklas Kvarforth is hopeful that the new video, which was filmed recently and is currently being edited, will be included along with the two tracks.  “We are trying to get the video included, but the people behind the single are a little nervous, and probably quite rightly so given its subject matter and content.  We are looking into the possibility of maybe including a censored version.  We’ll see how that pans out, but whatever happens, the uncensored version will definitely appear very soon, so SHINING fans who have been waiting for it, will not be disappointed”. 

Following the Swedish release, the band will consider the possibility of releasing a different version of the single elsewhere. 

More information about SHINING can be found on the band’s MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/shininghalmstad

HERE is the track “Förtvivlan, Min Arvedel” from the new album.

Swedish “pop/metal” band DEAD BY APRIL has issued the following update:

“After months of recording we are finally proud of letting you all know that the first single from our upcoming album will be ‘Within My Heart’. It will be out digitally on the 16th of May and our aim is to get it out worldwide to as many of you as possible. Apart from ‘Within My Heart’, we will release two other songs — one you may have heard previously and the second is a completely new one. In the meanwhile, check out this teaser of the song [see below] and let us know what you think of it.”

Due later in the year via Spinefarm Records, DEAD BY APRIL‘s sophomore album was produced by Swedish studio-meister Jacob Hellner (RAMMSTEIN) at his own Big Island Studio in Stockholm. The CD was mixed by fellow RAMMSTEIN regular Stefan Glaumann and features the session guitar work of Pontus Hjelm, who left DEAD BY APRIL last year to focus more on the writing and production side; his songs (including “More Than Yesterday”; the demo version of which appeared on the compilation mini-album “Stronger”, recently released via Spinefarm) will also be included, providing the all-important continuity with the self-titled debut, a Top 2 outing in Sweden.

“Losing You”, the first single from DEAD BY APRIL, topped the official chart in the band’s home country.

DJERV: New Song Available For Free Download

“Madman”, the new single from DJERV — the Norwegian band featuring singer Agnete Kjølsrud of ANIMAL ALPHA, drummer Erlend Gjerde of STONEGARD and WARDRUNA and guitarist Stian Kårstad of TRELLDOM — is available for free download at this location. The song comes off the group’s debut album, which will be released in June via Indie Recordings (except in Poland and Czech Republic, where the CD will be made available through Mystic Production).

DJERV consist of the three core members — Agnete Kjølsrud, Stian Kårstad and Erlend Gjerde. The lineup is completed by guitarist Stamos Koliousis from MENCEA and bassist Victor Brandt from ENTOMBED, who join them for their live performances.

DJERV spent most part of the fall of 2010 working on its debut album, which is set to be released in the summer of 2011. The album was engineered by Daniel Bergstrand (IN FLAMES, MESHUGGAH) in Oslo, before the band traveled to Los Angeles to team up with Grammy Award-winning producer Matt Hyde (SLAYER, HATEBREED, MONSTER MAGNET) to work on the mix. The effort was mastered by Tom Baker at Precision Mastering, and it was written and produced in its entirety by DJERV.

“Normally it takes me like 30 seconds to figure out how to mix an album, to decide what sound I’m going for, as the inspiration of the band is so obvious to spot out. But when listening to the DJERV album, I had no obvious direction on the mix as their music is truly unique. It’s absolutely awesome and it’s totally different from anything else I’ve heard in a long, long time. Working with a singer at Agnete‘s level is truly rewarding and something one very rarely get to do. Her control, range and performance is stunning — not to mention the great lyrics! She is definitely one of THE best singers I’ve had the pleasure working with, and I really hope I get to do it again.”

Drummer Erlend Gjerde comments: “We tried to explore the borderlines between rock, metal and on some tracks there are more or less obvious black metal references. The overall sound is quite stripped down, groove-oriented and melodic, yet it has those cold black metal-influenced riffs accompanying the dark moods of the music . We are very happy with the way it turned out, now it’s just the painful wait of hearing what everybody else thinks. Fingers crossed it go down well.”

Like its predecessors, the album was mixed by Mikko Karmila. Its cover artwork shows Travis Smith‘s magnificent interpretation of the mythological birth of the world from a goldeneye’s egg.

01. Battle For Light
02. Mermaid
03. My Enemy
04. You I Need
05. Song Of The Sage
06. Three Words
07. Reformation
08. Soothsayer
09. On A Stranded Shore
10. Escape
11. Crack In A Stone
12. Beginning Of Time
13. Heart’s Song (digipack bonus track)
