---------
Swedish act Shining was formed by Niklas ‘Kvarforth’ Olsson in 1996. Already with a developed sense of direction to his compositions and expression of wholly negative outlook & emotion, Niklas created some utterly oppressive material for the debut release, the ‘Submit to Self-destruction’ EP in 1998, when Niklas himself was still only 14 years old.
'Angst' was Shining’s third album and was originally released in 2002. A development of composition was clearly evident here, working in more subtle twists and complexities to the sinister & wholly oppressive black metal. The work of Shining is intended to reflect the dark & destructive side of the world & human nature.
The album was recorded at The Abyss Studios (Immortal, Marduk & Dimmu Borgir), the famous Swedish recording studio run by Peter Tägtgren, The album was recorded by Tommy Tägtgren.
