SHINING signed on Osmose

A NEW ERA HAS BEGUN

SHINING are now officially allied with the highly repected french record label Osmose Productions.
They have signed a deal of two albums whereas the first one, "V / Besvikelsens Dystra Monotoni" is to be recorded in April.
To celebrate this event Osmose Productions and SHINING have decided to once and for all issue the first two albums "I / Within Deep Dark Chambers" and "II / Livets Ändhållplats" in luxurious digipack versions including one exclusive bonus track each and for the first time ever fully printed lyrics as well as linear notes.
Kvarforth did about one year ago announce the death of the band due to many unpleasant circumstances which have been prominent the past years both within the band and around him personally but now, with a basically entirely new line-up of Ludvig Hvit (of Spiritual Beggars, Firebird) on drums, John Doe (of Craft, Twin Earth) on solo/rhythm guitar and at this very moment a anonymous person on lead guitar a new era has begun to take shape. The reason for this new line-up is simply because there is a need to rehearse and play live which never would have worked out in long terms with the previous members considering the distance inbetween. SHINING are currently rehearsing a live-set as well as the new material and are currently looking for a full time bassist to replace former member Phil A. Cirone.

SHINING A TERMINE SON NOUVEL ALBUM

Bien que beaucoup aient douté, nous autant que les autres parties engagées, l'enregistrement de notre 5éme album à venir vient de se terminer,
et est en ce moment même mixé par le producteur Rickard Bengtsson.
En entendant ce résultat, après près de 3 mois d'activité créatrice, nous devons dire que le résultat provoque un choc, jamais auparavant nous n'avons franchis autant de frontières, aussi bien musicalement que lyriquement et cette association donne le résultat les plus sombre, le plus sinistre que nous ayons jamais enregistré. (même si nous allons certainement perdre 95% de nos anciens et actuels fans)
Dès que le mixage sera terminé, nous vous posterons un nouveau titre sur le site internet pour que vous ayez un bref aperçu de ce qui va sortir !

English version :

SHINING HAVE COMPLETED THEIR NEW ALBUM

though many have doubted, us as well as other parties involved, the recording-session of our forthcoming fifth album have now reached its end, and at this very moment being mixed by producer Rickard Bengtsson. hearing the result now, after nearly three months of active creativity, we must say that the outcome is shocking, never before have we crossed so many lines
both musically as well as lyrically and altogether this is by far the darkest, most sinister piece of work we've ever managed to put on tape to date. (although we will certainly loose 95% of old and present fans). as soon as the mixing-sessions are done we will post a brand new track here on the website so that you may get a small taste of what's to come,
