SHINING
SHINING ANNOUNCE TITLE AND RELEASE DATE OF UPCOMING ALBUM, NEW WEBSITE NOW OPEN…

Sweden’s SHINING have today announced that their new album will be called “Redefining Darkness”.
Unlike all previous SHINING albums, “Redefining Darkness”, which will be the band’s eighth full-length release, will not preface its title with a number.
According to founder and frontman Niklas Kvarforth: ”The use of numbers to describe their albums is no longer something that SHINING is interested in doing. The new album is without a doubt the darkest thing I have ever done or heard. People will be upset for sure – and hopefully its divine genius will destroy the lives of thousands”
“Redefining Darkness” is set for release via Spinefarm Records on October 29th 2012.

Bigger, bolder, brassier and more brazen than ever, Bellowhead blaze back with their mighty new album, Broadside.

While all things Bellowhead tend to be an event, Broadside is a positive spectacular, taking some of the wildest, most joyous and iconic songs in the richly colourful canon of the folk song tradition… and turning them upside down and inside out with the unique sense of drama and theatre, instrumental virtuosity, verve, humour and blind cheek that has seen them spearhead the new folk boom.

Their third album Hedonism was the highest-selling independently released traditional folk album of all time, yet the new one Broadside (a title that rather cunningly melds an early form of printed song sharing with an appropriate nautical reference to firepower) is surely set to eclipse it...
