Shining is a Swedish depressive black metal band formed in Halmstad in 1996 by Niklas Kvarforth, who began the project at age twelve and released the EP Submit to Selfdestruction (1998) and debut album Within Deep Dark Chambers (2000) before fully assuming the vocalist role. The band's music combines raw, aggressive black metal with progressive elements and suicide-themed lyrical content, most notably on the album Halmstad (2007), and Kvarforth's confrontational live performances—including the infamous 2007 Diezel concert featuring Attila Csihar and Maniac—became notorious within extreme metal circles. The band has remained active and prolific into the 2020s, releasing their eleventh studio album in 2023.
