Frontman and founder Niklas Kvarforth explains the reason behind his band’s decision not to spend long periods of time on the road: “Basically we want to be able to give our audience the best show possible each time we are on stage. Being stuck on a cramped, uncomfortable nightliner with people you don’t even know and no privacy in which to be able to rest and relax for weeks on the road, is not conducive to any of us and particularly myself to be able to always deliver a top performance. Therefore we will definitely not do this. We have furthermore decided that we do not want to be shunted into the usual venues that every tour seems to hit. We rather play better venues with better facilities – not only for ourselves, but also for the audience, wherever possible.”

SHINING have previously revealed the first video featuring a track taken from their acclaimed new full-length ‘IX – Everyone, Everything, Everywhere, Ends’. The brutal imagery of “Vilja & Dröm” is following the Swedes’ tradition to hold an artistic mirror up to the face of humankind in order to throw its ugly reflection back onto itself: homo homini lupus est. The clip was directed by Martin Strandberg and can be viewed here.

SHINING will be touring in support of their latest full-length ‘IX – Everyone, Everything, Everywhere, Ends’, which is already out in the shops and can be directly ordered from Season of Mist. The album is also streaming in full at this link.
