Shining - An Update From Niklas Kvarforth

Shining founder and frontman Niklas Kvarforth is quitting all other projects in order to concentrate on Shining.

Kvarforth released the following statement: "A lot of things have been happening recently with Shining, and the rapid growth of the band over the last year, and the commitment that Shining now requires of me has meant that it has become impractical for me to continue working as vocalist with other bands.

This includes my work with Bethlehem, who themselves realised that the band could not continue with myself on vocals. Bethlehem is still my all-time favourite band and I wish them all the best for the future. I will also be quitting as front man for Den Saakaldte.

From now on, therefore, I will only be making occasional guest vocal appearances on albums by other bands, and my priority will be Shining. My work with Maniac's band Skitliv will not be affected, however, as the vocals and the bulk of the creative work is in his hands.

As always, myself and the band very much appreciate all the support the fans are giving Shining and their patience in waiting for the release of VII - Född Förlorare, and there will be some very good news regarding this very shortly."

VII - Född Förlorare (trans: Born Loser) will be released later this year through Indie Recordings. More album details were previously reported over here.

I understand leaving Bethlehem, but Den Saakaldte? Fuck me that sucks.

This next release better be earth-shatteringly depressive.

Yay! Now he'll stop bringing down and infecting other projects ^_^

Now if only Neige would follow suit.

Read the good news about Niklas leaving Bethlehem earlier today.
Thank God he is out of that band.
Wonder who will replace him. Doubt Jo would be willing.

Has Niklas calmed down over the last few years? it seems like it what with the pleasantness with his collaborators and not being as much of a whiny twerp.

Seems perfect to me to concentrate on his number one project, also I didn't like too much his work with Bethlehem.

indie also didn't release the last couple of albums (as far as I can remember not a sinle one). The last 3 4 or maybe even 5 were released by Osmose.
