Shining

SHINING exemplifies the audacious essence of black metal through its chilling atmospheres and complex compositions. The Swedish band's latest self-titled album features six tracks that take the listener on a journey of darkness and intensity, blending raw aggression with haunting melodies. Noteworthy for its exemplary musicianship, it demands attention with intricate guitar work, powerful vocals, and atmospheric layering that pushes the boundaries of the genre.

Founded by mastermind Niklas Kvarforth in Halmstad in 1996, SHINING has challenged conventional black metal norms with a modern yet profound take on the style. Released via Napalm Records in collaboration with The Sinister Initiative, the thematic content delves into existential dread and the human struggle against inevitable mortality, crafting narratives as immersive as the music itself. With their latest self-titled release Shining (2023), the Swedish outfit demonstrates their mastery of atmospheric black metal, creating compositions that are both technically proficient and emotionally devastating. Each track serves as a meditation on darkness, exploring themes of despair, transcendence, and the void that lies beyond human comprehension. The album stands as a testament to SHINING'S ability to craft music that is simultaneously brutal and beautiful, appealing to fans of Emperor, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Enslaved, and Gorgoroth while establishing their own distinctive voice within the black metal pantheon.

Supreme Chaos Records as partner for The Sinister Initiative offers exclusive limited editions and TIS releases in general.
