FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SHINING Proclaims Free up of “The Helsinki Tapes” – Out December 13, 2024
Free up Date: December 13, 2024
Within the wake in their reissue of “VIII / Redefining Darkness”, SHINING is ready to near one of the most extra cursed chapters in their storied profession with the discharge of “The Helsinki Tapes”. To be had December 13, 2024, this long-awaited free up provides a glimpse into the uncooked, experimental section that will later give start to one of the vital transformative albums of their catalog.
The tale at the back of “The Helsinki Tapes” is known. Frontman Niklas Kvarforth has ceaselessly spoken of the month he spent in an rental in Finland’s capital with Christian Larsson and Yusaf Parvez (DHG), the place the 3 band participants engaged in a whirlwind of writing, experimentation, and what can simplest be described as “unspecified injury.” Those notorious demo tapes, lengthy some degree of debate amongst lovers, have remained in large part shrouded in thriller—till now.
SHINING has at all times was hoping that those demo tapes may in the future see the sunshine of day, and now, with “The Helsinki Tapes”, the band is providing an reliable free up. Kvarforth himself has described this subject material as “a ways awesome to the real album itself,” regardless that we might or would possibly not agree on that declare. What’s plain, then again, is the rawness and sense of unease that permeates each and every monitor. This free up provides an audial snapshot of the way SHINING—an difficult to understand Black Steel band from Sweden—reworked into one thing way more unhealthy and unpredictable than any individual will have expected.
