Niklas kvarforth biography of christopher columbus

It's been a horrible day for band finality, as Satyricon have announced their final U.S. tour. The black metal duo have been veterans of the genre since 1992, responsible for releasing nine full-length albums and a variety of other releases. To this day, their career has been responsible for excellent albums, with their most recent Deep Calleth Upon Deep making it on our 2017 Best Metal Albums of the Year list.

"As our U.S fans will have noticed, we haven't toured there in nine years," says Satyr. "There are many reasons for that.

Pain is inspiration (A shining view on Black Metal)

Recently, while looking for “new” music for me to discover, I came across Shining, a Swedish Black Metal band. Black Metal from Scandinavia, that’s not too exciting now, is it? No yet but read on. I mainly checked them out because according to several sources, one of their main influences was Strid, a band I covered, among others, just yesterday in an article.

Strid are commonly recognised as the creators of Depressive Black Metal and Shining take that even further. How? Read on after the jump for stories about self-mutilation, hoping for people to committ suicide and more (most probably not safe for work).

The guy in the above picture is Niklas Kvarforth, singer and frontman of Shining. What you see there, isn’t a picture of a homicide but an act of self-mutilation. Self-mutilation isn’t new to the world of Black Metal, as captured in the movie ‘Until the Light takes us’
