SHINING’s “Feberdrömmar (Del Ett)” – A Haunting Masterpiece That Cuts Deep
With “Feberdrömmar (Del Ett),” the Swedish black metal band SHINING has created more than just an album—it’s a visceral, chilling journey into the depths of dark soundscapes and twisted atmospheres. Released under The Sinister Initiative, what started as a simple re-issue of the notorious “8 1/2” compilation has now evolved into an ambitious, two-part sonic odyssey that pulls listeners into its nightmarish grip. Part one, “Feberdrömmar (Del Ett),” plunges fans back into the eerie world of SHINING with a mix of hauntingly familiar tracks and fresh interpretations. The second chapter, currently in post-production, is set to drop in the summer of 2025, promising even more darkness to come.
The album opens with a new, spine-chilling intro that sets the stage for what’s to follow—a selection of some of the most intense renditions SHINING has ever delivered. The project enlists a lineup of legendary contributors, each bringing a unique and sinister energy to the mix. Maniac, former vocalist of SKITLIV, brings his raw, guttural intensity, while Pehr Sjöldhammar of ALFAHANNE infuses a foreboding atmosphere into the tracks. Attila Csihar of MAYHEM, known for his spine-tingling vocal range and experimental style, adds a new level of horror to his contributions. Famine of PESTE NOIRE and Gaahl of TRELLDOM also leave an indelible mark on this project, their dark styles intertwining perfectly with SHINING’s brand of aggressive and ominous black metal.
