Norwegian avant-garde metallers Shining have a new song out titled “NORTH“. The group find themselves knee-deep in snow for the new visual offering that accompanies it, and for good reason. As explained below, the song serves as an ode to the northern lands, as the band’s linchpin Jorgen Munkeyby shared:
“‘NORTH‘ is a salute to the ice-cold North—its darkness, its harsh winters and the defiance of the people shaped by them. At its core, it’s a song about Northern perseverance and ‘The Northern Way’: that stubborn, self-reliant spirit that has driven SHINING from the beginning.”
More new music from the group is in the pipeline, as work is underway on their forthcoming new album. Until then, the outfit also have the following shows scheduled:
08/07 Derbyshire, UK – Bloodstock Open Air
11/03 Copenhagen, DEN – Stengade
11/05 Utrecht, NET – dB’s
11/06 Paris, FRA – Backstage By The Mill
With Igorrr & Otto Von Schirach:
11/10 Birmingham, UK – O2 Institute
11/11 Glasgow, UK – SWG3
11/12 Dublin, IRE – The Academy
