Hardwired magazine is proud to premiere the first track off of the upcoming SHINING album, “X – Varg Utan Flock” (out January 5th, 2018 via Season of Mist). The song will also be released on the A-side of a vinyl 10” entitled “Fiende”. This vinyl single will be out on November 24th, 2017. The song “Jag Är Din Fiende” (which translates as “I Am Your Enemy”) can be heard below.

The song“Jag Är Din Fiende” delivers a raw and brutal sound contrasted with a surprisingly progressive guitar solo. The B-side contains a largely acoustic cover version of “No Rest For The Wicked”, originally from Swedish rockabilly act THE COFFINSHAKERS. Niklas Kvarforth is not the first artist struggling with mental illness and related issues. The erratic Swede is also not the first musician whose inner demons are part of his creative genius. Yet in the world of metal, his band SHINING stands as a unique and outstanding act in terms of talent and musical excellence.
