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. This edition of ’III – Angst’ is presented on limited crystal-clear vinyl.

Niklas Kvarforth has, on countless occasions, mentioned the month that he spent together with Christian Larsson and Yusaf Parvez (DHG) in an apartment that they rented in Finland's capital. The three resolved to use this space as a base in which to write, experiment and cause various forms of unspecified damage before heading to Varberg to record the new album. For years, the band has wished that these infamous demo tapes could be released officially somehow. We here at TSI, who recently issued the definitive edition of the very album for which these songs were created, feel that the time has now come to release the recording that the band themselves have stressed: "Is in so many ways far superior to the actual album itself".

SHINING announces a new EP that will include unreleased tracks (both original and cover-songs) with B-sides recorded during their last studio-session. Revering tradition, long-time producer Andy La Rocque have again mixed, mastered and produced, while French painter Maxime Taccardi have also once more contributed with artwork.

DIVIDED YOU’LL STAND AND UNITED YOU’LL FALL marks the end of what at first seemed like a promising era for the band, but one that also ended abruptly. Founder and sole remaining original member Niklas Kvarforth comments: “We are releasing these songs so that we can get the last three years out of our systems, which is a necessity for us to have fully dealt with before its time to record our next album”.
