SHINING are now unleashing the first new track taken from their forthcoming full-length “IX – Everyone, Everything, Everywhere, Ends“.
Niklas Kvarforth comments: “The time has come to share a little bit of the darkness that will infect the world’s population in a few months.

Not only will our more recent fan-base ‘enjoy’ the oppression contained therein, but I am also certain that those who stopped listening to SHINING after our fifth album will find the new one plague-ridden with what some might have felt was lacking on the more recent efforts… that atmosphere of old.”
