Formed in 1996, Shining is a Swedish extreme metal band that incorporates many doom metal elements in their music.

With their depressive undertones and mostly suicide-themed lyrics, Shining's music delves into dark emotions and explores the depths of human psyche.

Shining, with their haunting melodies and powerful instrumentals combined with introspective lyrics,is an artist that pushes boundaries within the extreme metal genre.

Infamous Swedish black metal act Shining was formed by mastermind Niklas Kvarforth in Halmstad, 1996, releasing eleven studio albums over a span of almost twenty-five years, commencing with ‘Within Deep Dark Chambers’ in 2000.

‘IV - The Eerie Cold’, Shining's fourth album, was originally released in 2005 & features drum work by Hellhammer of Norwegian legends, Mayhem. The album also features lyrical contributions from Nattefrost of Carpathian Forest. It was recorded at the Slaughterhouse studio in Sweden & was produced by Niklas Kvarforth & Rickard Bengtsson, who has worked with Arch Enemy, among many others.

Providing a great evolution from the foundations of hypnotic riff-styling, Shining has progressively incorporated more diverse, experimental & essentially non-metallic elements into their music including blues & jazz - affording the songs a greater dynamic & a more refreshing sound than typical 'pure' black metal bands. Even the vocals have a large breadth of character often missing from extreme metal acts.
