Shining have released a video teaser for an arthouse documentary featuring frontman Niklas Kvarforth, entitled "Cold Void". The founder of the Swedish black metal act is the focal point of the new movie. The documentary "tries to capture a personal portrait of Niklas Kvarforth, who has made headlines that have involved addiction, suicide and self-destruction, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, passion, and exceptional musicianship." Watch the teaser below.




The project was undertaken by arthouse producer Claudio Marino and his production company Artax Film and "Cold Void" is scheduled for release in the autumn in Swedish, with English subtitles.

Claudio Marino is quick to point out that "Cold Void" "is a film for anyone interested in life stories, and was not made with the intention of pandering to Shining's fans. It is, rather, very much a personal journey, bringing a much-needed clarity and lack of sensationalism to the subject of Niklas Kvarforth."
