Dropping a self-titled album this late into a career is a bold move. Sort of like with Rammstein, you would expect Shining to be an encapsulation of everything Shining stands for. In other words, expectations are high… Well then, how does Shining compare to the band’s previous discography? More importantly, does it still make you want to kill yourself?

That album art is pretty wicked, in many senses of the word. Look forward to hearing the new effort!

The lyrics do cause an issue for me here but I can usually get past the language barrier if the instrumentation is decent enough, unfortunately, after multiple listening nothing really captures me about it musically. There's a few moments where I think it's going to build-up to something special, and it kinda doesn't really. The cover-art however, is stunning, such a shame though that the music has let me down in this instance

I could translate them for you if you'd be interested in that? I already translated some other Shining albums here

If you filter Top 200 albums for Top in Black Metal... De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is at No 34...under the likes of Summoning and Moonspell lol

Thanks for the offer man. I'm not a native English speaker, but it does help when you can understand something without translations, dubbing or subtitles. I especially dislike subtitles because I always end up trying to read then instead of watching the plot 😀

I like the album, but I don't understand what you mean by this. There are 5 black metal (or black metal adjacent) albums in the top-20 right now. And Shining's latest hasn't got that much black metal, or even metal for that matter, in it.

I honestly don't believe it's a black metal issue in here. It happens with awesome death metal too. Especially old school bands that seem to get critical acclaim. I just think some people vote with black and white thinking. A lot of BM have big ratings in here.
