Swedish black metallers SHINING check in with the following update:

"Shining's sixth studio album, VI / Klagopsalmer, has now been mixed and mastered and has been sent to Osmose Productions who will shortly be unleashing it's menace into the world. For further information, check out their website at www.osmoseproductions.com. Sample coming soon!

Shining have signed an endorsement deal with Swedish company Odium Clothing. For more information visit their website at www.odium-clothing.net.

We have finally found ourselves a permanent bassist to replace Phil A. Cirone who left the band earlier this year. Larsen is a young, but extremely motivated musician from Halmstad, and we hope to have him with us longer than we had Phil. Since Larsen joined us in time for the recording, King Ov Hell (GORGOROTH) did not take part in the new album , but we are grateful to him for stepping forward in our time of need to help us out.

On that note, when we announced King's involvement with Shining, it seemed to have pissed off a lot of people because of the recent media-hysteria surrounding Gorgoroth.

Niklas Kvarforth would like to send a personal message to all those who didn't like that decision: "Go fuck yourselves, because no one tells Shining what to do, and if you don't like that, then go listen to something else, because we don't need mindless idiots listening to our music".
