SHINING - Avsändare Okänd (Official Lyric Video) | Napalm Records

Self-Titled 11th Studio Album out September 15, 2023!

Niklas Kvarforth on “Avsändare Okänd”:
“Our second single, AVSÄNDARE OKÄND, could best be described as what "Halmstad" or "Varg Utan Flock" could have sounded if recorded with the current lineup. It’s the opening track of our new album and classic SHINING at its absolute darkest.

The physical version also includes a DANZIG cover on the B-side, which will not be released digitally.”

Kvarforth adds:
“Ingo Spörl has managed to do what I never thought was possible, creating a lyric video for SHINING without any direct involvement from any member of the band. His visualization of “Avsändare Okänd” is chillingly similar to how I myself would have done it if I had Ingo’s skills. Enjoy the haunting second single from our forthcoming eleventh album!”

Shining being shining, nothing new, everything is so familiar to my ears and i love it..

[robertcarder]

I love his powerful emotive voice. It shows anguish and rage unlike any voice that I have ever heard. It even relieves my stress and depression. So cathartic. Their guitar sound and his voice are a magic combination. I know that he says that his goal is to spread misery but it is like therapy to me. He makes me realize that my life could be so much worse mental health wise.

Niklas did wonders again. His perfect voice and rendition are amazingly beautiful ❤️🤘❤️

[demorak]

Masterpiece! Finaly we get some shining again!

[dzonnyblue]

Shining Fans don't just talk about it JUST DO IT !

[RytkösenJussi]

Nothing new, nothing old. Shining keeps it real!!! Nice song overall.

[jethrox]

Love the progressive nature of the song

[basilisk-wpif]

Is it just me or are niklas kvarforth's vocals getting better?

[blckhrt]

This is realy brilliant❤ Kan't stop listening the whole Album, fucking great sound atmosphere

[robertcarder]

They have had so many lineup changes that it almost feels like Niklas and Peter with the latest session musicians(killer ones though). They keep top notch musicians in this band. They have to to keep that Shing sound alive. So incredible. That voice is so unique.

[Chris-fnr]

That guitar solo is 1 of best i ever heard. Randy rhoads would even admire it. N this band is killer.

[robertcarder]

They have been so good for so long that it may be hard to improve upon their past work. They can just continue on with their perfection at any rate. He puts so much into his vocals that I fear he will destroy his voice by just blowing it out. It seems very strong but it could still be damaged. It is totally unique as is their whole sound. Just backing Niklas and Peter up would take a talented band. So inspiring.

[KIWIMATT-FCS]

Fan from New Zealand i really like the dirtyness of this track, f'n good job 🤘 that solo 😉

[Thepunishingguy]

Love the new song with the familiar sound. While it doesn't help it can make you angry enough to bear through the hardships.

[vadymd]

Shining never change their style from 2005 💪

[KunalMukherjee]

Loved the spoken part between 3:52 and 4:21

[dallaire]

I really dug that one. Awesome guitar work here.

[Chris-fnr]

Napalm records is the best rec. Label ever. They wreck all opponents with brutal supremacy!

[robertcarder]

This is the Shining sound since Shining IV. Before that they were just an uninspiring industrial black metal band. They are inspired genius from IV on. I think largely due to the guitarist Peter Huss. He and Niklas make a great team and have made Shining a unique and original band. I do not think they would be around at all without Peter Huss.
