During SHINING’s recent appearance at Hellfest, the band was interviewed by Portugal’s Riff webzine, and the interview can be seen below.

SHINING recently released a four-track EP of cover songs entitled “Lots of Girls Gonna Get Hurt” with songs from KATATONIA, KENT, IMPERIET and POETS OF THE FALL, which was recorded while the band was in the studio working on their upcoming eighth full-length album. According to the band the four tracks were simply songs that SHINING members themselves enjoy listening to and are in no way representative of the new, as yet untitled, album which is due for release on Spinefarm Records later this year. More information about SHINING can be found on the band’s Facebook page.
