SHINING’S Kvarforth To Join Maniac’s SKITLIV Project
June 7, 2007, 17 years ago
Former MAYHEM vocalist Maniac has recruited SHINING’s Niklas Kvarforth to the ranks of his doom/black metal band SKITLIV - as guitarist for recording purposes. A big fan of Skitliv, to the extent that he has the band’s name tattooed on his arm, Kvarforth has already laid down guitars on several tracks, and also plans to play live with the band whenever his commitments to Shining will permit.
Commented Maniac: “ Shining is, and always will be, Niklas’ priority, but recording with Skitliv is no problem for him, and whenever the opportunity arises he will join us on stage. Niklas is a real artist and an incredibly skilled musician; something people tend to ignore because all they ever seem to be able to focus on is the hype surrounding Shining. His dedication to his music is extraordinary and working with him, and watching him create, is both a pleasure and an education. He has come up with some amazing riffs for Skitliv, which have added a whole new dimension to the music”.
'Amfetamin', an unfinished track featuring Kvarforth, has been added to Skitliv’s official MySpace page.
