We are also looking at a lot of possibilities for next year at the moment, so be prepared for SHINING and 2010."

SHINING recently returned to the Slaughterhouse studios to begin work on its seventh album, "Shining VII". According to the band, the CD "will take a different direction from that taken" on "VI / Klagopsalmer", which came out last month via Osmose Productions. It was made available on CD, gatefold double LP, limited colored LP and picture disc LP. The effort was recorded at The Slaughterhouse studios with producer Rickard Bengtsson.

SHINING has inked a deal with Norway's Indie Recordings for the release of two full-length albums and the first-ever DVD from the band.
