Sweden"s Shining was formed in 1996 by a then-12-year-old vocalist, Kvarforth, delivering five, critically acclaimed full length album. The band"s sixth creation, and first to see a domestic realease, continues and improves on these stunning yet unsettling elemements. Always going beyond the accepted definitions of "Black Metal", VI/Klagopsalmer is perhaps a little closer but by no means shackled by the true definition of the sub-genre. Almost always surrounded by controversy, One thing is for sure, Tehre is nothing controversial about the brilliance of the writing and music skill of Kvarforth and shining on this genre-bending, awe-inspired masterwork.
