GUYS, SHINING HURT MY FEELINGS

[@metalzonemt-2]

I googled Shining, I got pictures of Jack Nicholson looking through a door.

[@QuistusCat]

Haha

[@petermoes1668]

hahaha

[@mitchlucker666aaarh]

i lol'd at this, but to be frank whats the difference anyway

[@TabithaReminiec3399]

did tou google the shining,or shining band?

[@DjMark.L]

Hahahaha!!!

[@dropkickpennyday9576]

"Black metal is anti human and anti life" Yup... One of the many reasons why I love it lol

[@joaorufino4952]

Yeah but they'll still hate you XD

[@Queretonix]

You're cringy.

[@alcovefib]

Why is someone, who is 'anti-life' getting up every day to eat breakfast and make some music? That someone may be on medication, may cut himself with a razor, may even hate life. Life can be fucked up, can kick one's arse. No denying. Yet someone who chooses to be creative instead of jumping out of the window (in a split second) chooses life. That fucked up life and not death. If you really want to understand black metal, think.

[@IDKyoudk]

Black metal is none of these dumbass.

[@joseedgardotejada100]

Bro, hello, from Central América, Panamá, you are right man, I totally agree with your statements, Black metal and death metal is not about roses and stupidity, drama and shit, it's about shit and the reality of the true sick World without trying to cover it, and it's motivational, I'm a competitive athlete, cyclist, and I have my playlist of Black metal in my earphones and my mind to fire me for the extreme suffering of the bycicle, and it works and it even taakes pain away, metal is fuel, food for mind and soul and for violent pleasure. Saludos desde Panamá, que te vaya bién e ignora a los idiotas como la estúpida esa de la que hablaste

[@giantproof]

If anyone likes black metal there is no excuse for not knowing who Shining is.

[@joaorufino4952]

we were all black metal begginers at one point in life though xp

Glad to hear Niklas succeeded in fucking someone up.

[@EjectedStomach]

"I quickly pulled my sleeve down on my sweater to hide my star of David tattoo" HAHAHAHA

[@rodgill9376]

I saw them perform at the full terror assault festival a few weeks ago. Hours before they played, I met with the vocalist Niklas Kvarforth and he was very nice and down to earth. we talked a bit about how they enjoyed America and other stuff. I told him that they are one of my favorite bands and that their recent album was amazing and he said thank you. I also took a pic with him as well. he also showed me his scars as well and I was like "so awesome Hehe." When they did performed, they kicked ass and it was an experience too. Surprising, Niklas didn't cut himself on stage, not that matters. To this person who got "offended", I'm sorry to say this honey but maybe you should do some research next time before you go to a show. First of all, it's a metal show, what do you expect? like how fucking dumb are you? Don't like it, get Fuck out.

[@WaxScum]

Didn’t know FTA had Shining on the bill a few years ago. I plan on going to this years even though it’s a lot of brutal death and thrash/crossover. Hopefully they’ll get some black metal bands, but at this point still bands TBA

[@darrylwoodbury]

I love Black Metal because it's extreme. I love the hate and misanthropy in it. People need to develop thicker skins and stop being offended by everything.

[@bytemevv-4616]

They need to listen to more Black Metal

Exactly!

[@teodoravescan]

This reminds me of a death metal concert I went with some guys . And there was a little hipster that was staring at us while we were headbanging like " man , stop this shit , wtf" . And I still wonder wtf was HE doing there , it was a death metal show , what did he expected ? To hold hands and sing kumbaya ma lord ?

"REEEE NIKLAS IS A GROSS MEANIE WHY DIDN'T EVERYONE STOP THE SHOW DESPITE HIM NOT HARMING ANYONE WAHHH"

[@scottmcdaniel2121]

Shining is- Niklas Kvarforth and his amazing band.He is a fucking maniac.the sounds on the 2017 #10 album just blow my mind! I love it and expect nothing but shitting myself in euphoria over the anger,song structure and balls these guys have every time they put something out! good video dude!

[@dennispersson38]

This is one of the best videos i have ever seen. We need more people like this.

[@poisonoracle]

I think you raise some interesting points - I think the key to this is, as you rightly say, if the music/performance is not for you you are always free to NOT be there and while the girl in question has every right to her opinion (something which I think you should have pointed to in the interest of balance), she also had every right to walk away and spend her time doing something else. I totally respect the girl for using live music as an escape from her troubles, and think its great she has overcome what sounds like some pretty messed up times... but i also feel that a person who is sensitive to such things should be prepared to check the performance is suitable for them and their enjoyment before claiming to feel violated by it. Not doing that (research) doesn't make her an idiot - just a little careless given her sensitivity. At the end of the day - fair play to her for giving Black Metal a go - it sounds like it wasnt for her at all - and that's totally fine. It is a shame she felt the need to moan about it online...but by the same token, you made a 10 minute video moaning ABOUT her moaning. I am not getting at you, I spent 10 minutes watching you moan about the girl moaning! My point is that it is all trivial BS.... Much respect on the videos. Joey

[@josephcassidy1116]

To be honest, I can at least empathize with this person. Just my opinion, I guess. I can see why people think she's dumb for not doing research, but given her context, I can understand where she's coming from. Again, just my take.

[@anonymous-cq7wj]

i should add imo if someone has certain triggers it shouldn't be on them to do the research, it should be the band's responsibility to provide warnings if any of their theatrics feature things that are commonly triggering for people

[@MusicOfDestruction]

I don't empathize. Weak pieces of filth like this should just fucking not exist

[@millenniumfantasy6503]

I can't believe some people nowadays. If you didn't laugh at them, you'd have to cry. This tour was amazing. I loved watching Niklas do his thing for all of us.

I just don't understand why are people upset about people being upset by extreme music (in this case more like shock rock, lol). Isn't that like a point?

[@petermoes1668]

agree. kinda sad to makr a video about that and than calling the girl a bitch. how brave. Yeah with guys like that you can win a war. How pathetic and childish.

[@NotYourCountry]

You should change your outro to "Stay triggered" lol. Great video on this pathetic excuse of an article.

[@lifeeternal9823]

shawn you triggered me with this video.

[@Ilnath]

In Copenhagen a metal club/concert place ended up closing down, because of the lyrical content from a band. They had booked a reggae band, that apparently had anti gay lyrics in some of their songs. A local politician read about it, and removed some financial support, that all cultural and art venues can receive. Then the financial crisis came, and they couldn't keep it running and had to close it down. Such a shame... it was a great place

[@Hey_Marko]

I agree. I don’t understand why people can’t just be adults and either leave if they don’t vibe with what’s going on, or embrace being offended and let the art just be what it is... To me, great art confronts our fears... our uncomfortable places in our minds... it challenges our darkness... our pain. Black Metal is a big Fuck You to what’s deemed “acceptable” or “right” and that’s why I’m drawn to it. It makes me question my deeply held beliefs, opinions, etc... it’s primal, it’s raw and completely in opposition to the norm. I honestly think this woman just wanted to have something “provocative” to write about, and just made it dramatic for the sake of a writing “gripping content”. It’s embarrassing that she knew so little going into this show... or so she claims.

[@Funcore]

You are absolutely right man ! safe space is nowhere to be found in black metal, and certainly not in Kvarforth's music/philosophy. Kvarforth doesn't even consider himself a black metal musician as he finds most of the scene to romantic and soft.

[@leebawls]

I believe it would be the Roman Eagle originally

[@joaorufino4952]

It's funny now that I saw them live on the Under The Doom festival in Portugal, and he was quite sane, with the exception of flipping people off and like saying "gracias" instead of "obrigado", which, it's not that like bothers me too much, but it's a sensitive topic within portuguese people, confusing Spanish with portuguese or Brazilian with portuguese, while also wanting to murder the staff of the venue due to sound problems in the first song, I admit that the sound on the festival wasn't good in general but still, it almost looked like the guy was going to punch someone in the face ahah XD

[@Meroko155774]

Hilarious. From beginning to end

[@1008md]

I can kinda see where she is coming from. I have PTSD from a nasty cutting accident. If I were to go to see them not knowing what shinning is about I'd probably just watch from a far or vape my lungs outside. Same thing I did with Watain when they were throwing pigs blood vegetarian.

Isn't it a case that people aren't hurt or disturbed by a (here) band's performance but they are indeed hurt by their perception of how a band or someone should behave? I don't blame that woman, she just doesn't comprehend some things. Black metal is a way of coping for many people, including the musicians. Cutting is a way of coping for disturbed persons too. Shining makes amazing music, but yes their performances may be shocking to some. Different people have different needs and thresholds of sensitivity. Peace to all of you.

[@CountBlagorath]

I understand that, but she really should have known what she was getting into.

[@alcovefib]

@@CountBlagorath Yeah it must have been a shocker to her. Maybe she expected a nice surprise and then a reality hit her right in her face like piece of meat.
