SHINING Posts Teaser And Previews Artwork For Upcoming Split

Patricia Thomas Management has issued that the following an announcement on the band’s Facebook page recently, Sweden’s SHINING has revealed the artwork for the upcoming split with MORTUARY DRAPE as well as posting a teaser for the SHINING track. Titled “In the Eerie Cold  Where All the Witches Dance” and set for release on Primitive Art Records, the 7” vinyl will contain an exclusive track from each of the bands. The two tracks will only be released on the split and will not appear on any album. The teaser for the track can be heard below.

Commenting about the SHINING track on the original announcement of the split, frontman and founder Niklas Kvarforth said: “In 1998 a song was written which was intended for inclusion on our first album. However, somehow we were not able to record it properly, which forced us to re-record “Endless Solitude” instead. At the next Abyss session we faced the same problem and after that, the then-titled “One With The Endless”, was left out as we were certain the song had a curse written all over it. Quite recently, we gave it a third shot, and this time the curse was embraced instead of the opposite. A strange phenomena reinventing itself in every way possible, and, for some odd reason, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t write any suitable lyrics, and once again considered leaving it be. I did however have a very close friend of mine in the studio who not only came up with a new lyrical theme for the song but was also given my full blessings to sing it”.

Patricia Thomas Management has issued as follows:

As was previously hinted at, Niklas Kvarforth’s SHINING is to be the subject of a documentary which is being produced for release in cinemas. The documentary, which is the idea of Martin Strandberg of Sweden’s Black Shadows Film Productions, will chart the often turbulent history of the band, and includes candid interviews with the people who have been most closely involved with SHINING in one way or another over the years, including family, friends and former band members. A video teaser for the documentary was released recently, and English subtitles have now been added. The teaser can be seen below.

Commenting on the project Kvarforth said: ”We keep being asked about the documentary, but we are as much in the dark about it as everyone else. It’s Martin’s project, and we have no input into it at all other than as interviewees. We shall see what we shall see.”

NIKLAS KVARFORTH To Write “Chronicles From The Asylum” Column

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 13, 2013
Posted in: News. Tagged: , , . Leave a Comment

Patricia Thomas Management has issued as follows:

In a statement issued today, SHINING’s NIKLAS KVARFORTH made the somewhat unexpected announcement that he would be writing a twelve-part column entitled “Chronicles from the Asylum”, the French version of which would be published exclusively in METALLIAN MAGAZINE. Further information can be found at www.metallian.net

Kvarforth2

Regarding the subject matter of the column, KVARFORTH had this to say: “The way things have been heading the past few years with the general decline of the physical format, including that of the printed press, I feel there is a need to reveal certain things that reporters, for whatever reason, dare not speak of, whether because of censorship concerns or the danger of becoming social pariahs. I, on the other hand, have no problems with that, so, with Chronicles from the Asylum” I intend to destroy a few of the misconceptions about how the music industry really works and hopefully shatter a few dreams and relationships along the way. As the first part is mainly concentrating on the pros and cons of the contemporary decline, we will do all that is in our power to have these articles in printed form only, and not on any meaningless website”.

Sweden’s SHINING Heads For Croatia And Slovenia

PATRICIA THOMAS Management has issued as follows:

Sweden’s SHINING will head for Croatia and Slovenia next year to play two festivals in countries in which the band has rarely appeared before.  First up will be the Burning Sea Festival in Zadar, Croatia on the 8th June, followed by Metal Days, in Tolmin, Slovenia on the 25th July.  SHINING has so far also been confirmed to appear at the RAGNAROK festival in Lichtenfels, Germany, in April.

Founder and frontman Niklas Kvarforth recently announced that he would be publishing a book containing all the lyrics he has ever written and which, rather than allowing them to be translated by a professional translator and thereby risk losing the emotions that went into them,  he himself has translated into English from the original Swedish.  The first edition paperback, “When Prozac No Longer Helps”,  will be hand-numbered in the author’s own blood and will be published on the 7th December.  In order to ensure that genuine fans can get hold of the book, “When Prozac No Longer Helps” will only be available through the SHINING web shop and can be pre-ordered HERE.

SHINING this week released their eighth full length album  ”Redefining Darkness” on Spinefarm Records.  In a departure from the band’s usual habit of including the album number in the title, ”Redefining Darkness” contains no number, but still maintains all the complexity and distinct character that sets SHINING apart from so many of the identikit bands that proliferate on the scene today. More information about SHINING can be found on the band’s website at www.shiningasylum.com

The official video  for the track “Tillsammans Är Vi Allt” from SHINING’s album “VII / Född Förlorare” can be seen below.

SHINING’s Niklas Kvarforth To Publish Book Of Lyrics

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 19, 2012

PATRICIA THOMAS Management has issued as follows:

A book containing all the lyrics ever written by SHINING founder and frontman Niklas Kvarforth is set to be published on the 7th December.  The title will be “When Prozac No Longer Helps” and the first edition will be hand-numbered in the author’s own blood.   The following statement regarding the publication of the book has been issued by Kvarforth:

“Far too long I’ve been pestered each and every day by people from all around this disgusting planet asking if I can translate this or that lyric into English. Up till a few months ago this seemed to be an impossible task due to the poetic style I use when writing Swedish. However, after several months of frustration I put something truly horrific together and was so pleased with the result that I decided to collect them all and publish them in the form of a book.
“I don’t think many of you are truly interested in reading these even though you say you are.  As we all know, it is “true” to state you really do care about the lyrics of a band like SHINING, but that’s probably the only reason you say so.  However, I might be proven wrong.  And to anyone bitching about the high price, well, it cost tons of money to print a fine edition in such a low quantity, and I am certainly not into charity.”

To ensure that everyone who is genuinely interested in the book gets a chance to get a copy, “When Prozac No Longer Helps” will only be sold through SHINING’s webshop and is now available to pre-order from

SHINING To Continue Collaboration With ANDY LA ROCQUE’s SONIC TRAIN STUDIOS

Posted in: News. Tagged: , , , . Leave a Comment

Swedish extreme metallers SHINING will continue their highly successful collaboration with KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy La Rocque‘s Sonic Train Studios in Varberg, Sweden,

Both the SHINING EP “Lots Of Girls Gonna Get Hurt” and the band’s soon-to-be-released full-length album, “Redefining Darkness”, were produced and recorded by Andy at Sonic Train.

Pre-production for the next SHINING album will happen in September 2013 and the recording will start around November 2013.

Originally planned for January-February 2013, the pre-production has been postponed as SHINING is busy with promotion and tour plans. This also means that Sonic Train Studios still have some highly sought-after studio time available for 2013.

SHINING‘s eighth album, “Redefining Darkness”, is due out on October 29 through Spinefarm Records.

SHINING recently announced the addition of two new touring members — Euge Valovirta on guitar and Rainer Tuomikanto on drums.

SHINING in May released an EP of cover songs with a choice of material that came as a surprise to many of the band’s fans. The four-track EP, titled “Lots of Girls Gonna Get Hurt”, included tracks from KATATONIA, KENT, IMPERIET and POETS OF THE FALL.
