1) Shining is a Swedish black metal band originally formed back in 1996 by Niklas Kvarforth in the city Halmstad. Their lyrical themes are often based on depression, anger, suicide and angst, but also man’s immoral behavior. Their live performances often contain self-mutilation that they invite the audience to take part in.
The band’s name does not refer to the book The Shining or the film based on it, but rather according to Kvarforth, it means “the path to enlightenment”.

One One One is so ballsy. IMO they are even more avant-garde for using pop structure and still maintaining their experimentation throughout. Fucking great album

Yes he was, but not for gay. Unless you suggest that all strasserists and SA leading figures were homosexual, which is kind of a retarded statement.

People have to realise, Niklas changed the direction of the band because of the way 'dsbm' is such a parody of itself nowadays. He is writing music that HE finds depressing, because it emulates pop music. And that is an even sadder state of affair than dsbm. Look at the swedish pop band "Kent" for an idea of what he is going for.

Hell, this even has a weird The Dillinger Escape Plan vibe towards the end. I guess that seals its awesomeness.
