SHINING Ink Deal With Indie Recordings
June 24, 2009, 15 years ago
Sweden’s SHINING has inked a deal with Norwegian label Indie Recordings, that includes the release of two full-length albums, and the release of the first ever official DVD from the band.
Commenting on the new signing Shining frontman and creator Niklas Kvarforth, said “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.”
Shining recently pulled out of the Unholy Fest in Czechoslovakia, which has seen several bands pull out because of the organisers not meeting their obligations to the bands. The Shining’s next festival appearance is scheduled for the Party.San Festival on August 7th.
More information about Shining, including two tracks from the forthcoming release can be found on the band’s MySpace page at www.myspace.com/shininghalmstad.
