An expensive Osmose Productions import! The Euro to USD coversion + expensive postage has made it impossible for us to offer a standard/lower catalog price. Still cheaper than buying directly from France.

Controversy may follow SHINING wherever they go, but one thing is for sure, there is nothing controversial about the brilliance of the Niklas Kvarforthís writing, and the skill of SHININGíS musicianship. And never are these attributes more clearly demonstrated than on the bandís sixth album "VI/ Klagopsalmer".

SHINING has always been a band that goes beyond the accepted definitions of black metal, and "VI/ Klagopsalmer" is perhaps a little closer to the definition than its predecessors; closer, but by no means shackled by any restrictions that definition imposes. Always original and innovative, and unafraid to push the envelope, this is Niklas Kvarforth and SHINING and at their darkest, most aggressive and sinister best.
