Announcement from the Mad Monk:

------- 2046 -------

THE TIDE: Since our last Asia Tour it's been pretty quiet from us (except a very loud and noisy couple of days in New York in October). The reason is that we've been good and busy bees creating a brand new masterplan. We now have a lot of very good music summoned up for a new album; more than we would like our fans to be exposed to at one listening (precautions for your mental health's sake). We have already worked for some time on demos and earlier stages of productions, and will be recording in a couple of bigger studios in March and May. The album will be mixed in June with a scheduled release October 12th 2009.

THE VIBE: The new album will be much more aggressive than any of our previous albums. The compositions will be more compact, the arrangements will be more hard-hitting, and the mood will be desperate, sinister, aggresive and violent. (Those of you that have seen us live in the last year probably have some idea.)

THE EDIT: On the very next Friday 13th we will be posting a special musical preview of the new music on our MySpace page (www.myspace.com/gninihs). This will be available for 7 days. Stop by to get an impression of what the Fall will bring you of musical madness.

THE NEWS: After watching the pile of un-answered mails grow, from fans that have asked to be kept updated on our activities, tours, new merch, new music etc., we finally decided to make an automatic e-mail address collector for a SHINING mailing list. If you want to be kept updated, please subscribe to our newsletter with the subscription button at our MySpace page (or, though not permanently there, at www.shining.no).

THE NOOSE: We will also be able to offer the people on our mailing list special offers and insights into the inner workings of SHINING. Who says there will not be a special demo version for download, or maybe access to the very last 10 vinyl editions of Kingdom and Grindstone? Signed... So take the oppurtunity and add yourself to our mailing list, for both your and our convenience.

See you Friday 13th.

Regards,
The Mad Monk
