SHINING Forced To Cancel European Tour

August 11, 2009

Swedish black metallers SHINING have cancelled their previously announced European tour. A lengthy explanation for why the trek has been called off can be found on the band's MySpace blog.

Fan-filmed video footage of SHINING performing at this year's Brutal Assault festival — which was held August 6-8, 2009 in Pevnost, Josefov, Czech Republic — can be viewed below.

SHINING recently returned to the Slaughterhouse studios to begin work on its seventh album, "Shining VII". According to the band, the CD "will take a different direction from that taken" on "VI / Klagopsalmer", which came out last month via Osmose Productions. It was made available on CD, gatefold double LP, limited colored LP and picture disc LP. The effort was recorded at The Slaughterhouse studios with producer Rickard Bengtsson.

SHINING has inked a deal with Norway's Indie Recordings for the release of two full-length albums and the first-ever DVD from the band.

Commented Kvarforth: "SHINING has reached a stage now where we have a considerable following that is growing rapidly all the time, and I believe we have reached a new maturity with our music, expanding beyond what people expect from us, and we expect to go even further. It was, therefore, time to notch things up in respect of labels. We liked what Indie have been doing for their other bands, and we felt that SHINING would be comfortable in a relationship with them."
