Great review, a bit higher than I'd rated but that's mostly because I'm not a great BMfan.
Thumbs up for a good record. |

| Thanks. All in all, I think a couple of tenths less would be more accurate, but ah, who cares. |
|
|
|
| Kvarforth is absolutely possessed on this album, his vocals are just insane... Excellent album, their best so far IMO. I just hope the guy won't kill himself before I get to see them live in December lol. |
|
|
|
| Probably the only band I'd really be afraid of witnessing from the first row. |

| Yea you know about the performance with Maniac, Attila and Nattlefrost, right? Some guy in the audience apparently grabbed Kvarforth's crotch, and Kvarforth kicked him in the chest, and then Maniac started handing razor blades out to the audience....rofl...crazy. |

Yeah, that show is pretty notorious.. as are all shows of them.  |
|
|
|
| Yeah well, I'm pretty nervous about seeing them, as the venue they'll be in is a very small place, more like a rehearsal garage. And the support will be Maniac's band, Skitliv. I just hope they won't do something stupid lol. |

| Ok, now that I've listened to dozens of other albums released in 2007, now that I've heard all that I was looking forward to (Benighted, Porcupine Tree, Wayd, etc), I think I can safely say I haven't heard anything that tops V: Halmstad. This is definitely the best album of the year for me. |

It has a strong rival in The Angelic Process - Weighing Souls With Sand (have you listened to that one?). But, in the end, I agree with you and think it beats all the competition! |

|
| Yeah, I have listened to The Angelic Process and I like it, though the production bugs me quite a lot. Not so much for the instruments, but more for the vocals. I like being able to discern what I'm listening to. I liked the album, but not as much as you do, judging by your review (but maybe it needs to grow on me) Still, in the end, I choose Shining hehe. |

|
|
| This album together with the Deathspell Omega one are my top favorite black metal albums of 2007.I heard this album thanks to a portuguese metal magazine (April), this album was classified as "Album Of The Month" and i couldn't agree more with i saw in the magazine and in the review. I think i'll hear some of their older stuff. |
|
|
|
| i'm plannig to buy it one of these days, o listened to one song on their myspace and it was awsome |
|
|
|
| exellent album.. That women's cry on ''Låt Oss Ta Allt Från Varandra'' is disturbing. Best Shining album imo. |

| Quite impressive especially the last song - very powerful. And the instrumental, which is, as Lucas pointed is a famous piece by Beethoven. What is hard for me is that it sounds like gothic; I'm not very much into BM though, so excuse me for my ignorance. |

Undoubtedly one of the best albums of 2007. The performance is brilliant and the vocals are simply perfectly entwined in the overall feel of the music.
10 out of 10 stars. I'll be looking forward to hear some more suicidal music from these lads...if they are like Kenny and keep coming back to life anyway...:suicide: |

'The madness begins with quite an unusual spoken intro. Kvarforth utters the following words: "As I was going up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, I wish, I wish he'd go away." From any other band I would have died of laughter and silliness, but this time I got shivers and realized that Shining was going to destroy.'
This review was some time ago, but after reading it, thought you should know this. Well...maybe you've found out before this. That isn't Kvarforth, I believe its from the film 'Identity'. Might be called something else in the Netherlands.
Great review though! |
