Shinning once again proving how gay, shitty and emo they are.[views:14918][posts:75]___________________________________ [Sep 19,2012 3:51pm - Boozegood ""] Kvarforth being xEDGYx as usual: bennyhillifier Haha, this one rules: bennyhillifier |
| ________________________________ [Sep 19,2012 4:09pm - Burnsy ""] Total Utfrysning is a killer song. Actually the album it's on is pretty killer. Awesome riffage, great guitar playing and musicianship. |

| ________________________________ [Sep 19,2012 4:15pm - Burnsy ""] Nah man, plenty of people hate this band. The vocals can be irritating. I just really dig that particular album. Don't know much else by them. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 19,2012 4:17pm - trioxin245 ""] I like some of Shinings material, but overall they are definitely way overrated. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 19,2012 4:30pm - arilliusbm ""] Most people hate his vocals. From a guitar playing and compositional standpoint, Shining has some superb albums. |

| _________________________________ [Sep 19,2012 9:20pm - MikeOv ""] Disagree with most opinions posted here. Kvarforth and Shining are one of the only groups I follow and have any faith in, these days. I think his vocal style is totally killer and quite fascist sounding! Considering that Kvarforth is only what? 29? I think he's a rather ambitious artist and has a lot to show for himself, up to this point in his career. Their songwriting is very relevant to my interests and the aesthetics are spot on. I am greatly anticipating "Redefining Darkness", which he has stated is their most black metal sounding release to date, and, in his opinion, their darkest material yet. I find Shining to be anything but overrated and I say keep up the good work, Kvarforth and Co. |

And man, what a disappointing live performance these days. I never ended up listening to much past IV, and I've enjoyed some really good shit off those first few albums. I haven't even really heard much of their material after this, and will probably check it out at some point, but from the few songs I have heard I don't have much high hopes. Definitely would be interested in checking out their newest album coming out though which I had no clue about until now. |

Apparently this song/video is about his addiction to heroin and features Håkan Hemlin from Swedish pop/folk act "Nordman" who also struggled with heroin addiction as well. bennyhillifier |
| _______________________________________________ [Sep 20,2012 6:56am - truequintessence_nli ""] The guitar playing has gotten better and better the last few albums. I have a weird thing about this band where I kind of want to dislike them but I cant help but dig a lot of their songs. Didn't like the Opeth like singing on the last album at all though. And some of the samples seem really over the top melodramatic. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 20,2012 8:20am - arilliusbm ""] I would make the argument that Shining has one of the more original sounds in all of metal. There's not many bands that sound like them. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 20,2012 9:15am - chrisREX ""] Shinning rules. When i see videos the singer guy comes off as a mall goth, so stick to just listening to Shinning. It's pretty incredible how they can make those blusey parts work so well. |

I don't know how anyone could dislike this. bennyhillifier Yea I mean, I'm not saying I HATE it. It's just one of those bands that I can't necessarily find anything specific that I dislike, but at the same time they just never really did anything for me, with a few exceptions. I feel the same way about Forgotten Tomb. Maybe I'm missing the point, because I can definitely see the appeal, and I definitely don't think it's BAD, it just doesn't blow me away. edit: and yes, I own this album, as well as III, and of the material I've heard I definitely think V is the best. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 20,2012 3:30pm - arilliusbm ""] Ive been a fan of Shining for a while and never thought they'd get as "big" as they are now. I'm not surprised, they got a lot more technical, melodic and proggy (at times) with each album. The old stuff is pure hatred for self. I love it. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 20,2012 3:31pm - Burnsy ""] I got your meaning. I just wanted to use that analogy. How exactly are they overrated though? I thought no one knew or listened to them enough to be even rated. Nasty guitar work though, that much really can't be denied. |
