I'm sure Lucas knows this one: Did Larsen play on Halmstad?

No it was Johan Hallander who played bass on Halmstad if I remember well.

No, he didn't. But he did of course play on VI - Klagopsalmer.
Fun fact: in the booklet of V - Halmstad the credits are like this: "Shining is: Niklas Kvarforth. The Toolbox: *the other members*" And further: "All songs written by Niklas Kvarforth. Arranged, modified & performed by The Toolbox".
EDIT: WWS, yeah he did.

The Tool Box? I'd take that as an insult if I were a band member...although I suppose they talked it out and agreed that they brought tools to his music so they comprised what is essentially a tool box. Weird stuff, but thanks for the info/answer. I only asked because if he had played on Halmstad I was worried his departure would change their sound (although he's only a tool so it doesn't matter anyway).

Haha well, you should know Kvarforth is a bit of a weird person.
I actually think that he was kind of right on this one though. I mean, I wasn't there during the writing process obviously, but Kvarforth has always been the one and only embodiment of Shining. Any member can leave, and many have for various reasons, but without Kvarforth there is no Shining. Founding member, visionary of the band, the only recognizable member of the band etc.
He told me that for V - Halmstad he actually did write all the music himself, but for VI - Klagopsalmer he actually allowed his other members to write songs. It's mostly a combination of him actually writing 95% of the music, his desire for a little bit of controversy and a bit of joking around with mates.

Weird? He sounds like a great person! And I agree with that concept...I mean if you are the band, everyone else is more or less disposable/expendable.

So, the bassist quit, huh? That is interesting news. By the way, it is interesting about the toolbox thing in Halmstad's liner notes, along with other stuff.
