Vocalist Niklas Kvarforth of Shining has issued the following statement :
“Guitarist Fredric Gråby has left the ranks of Shining today because he no longer felt able to continue playing. Unfortunately, this means that we have been forced to cancel our appearance at the Ragnarok Festival this month as there is not enough time for a new guitarist to learn the material. We are also pleased to announce that Christian Larsson, who has been playing bass with the band for some time on a temporary basis, has now has joined Shining as a permanent full-time member."
The band's new album "VII / Född Förlorare" will be released on May 25.
"Förtvivlan, Min Arvedel", a new track from Swedish extreme metallers Shining, can be streamed below. This song comes off the band's forthcoming album "VII / Född Förlorare" ("Born Loser"), which will be released on May 25 via Spinefarm Records.

New York, NY: Having began his career in rock & roll at the ripe old age of 17, Methods of Mayhem mainman Tommy Lee has basically seen and done it all. But he's never been to New York City's famed Museum of Sex -- until now. While the rock star was in town promoting the release of his long-awaited sophomore album for Methods, A Public Disservice Announcement, we took Lee on a tour to remember.
Boasting an eclectic mix of rock, metal and dance on the brand new album, with tracks like "All I Wanna Do" -- which Tommy explains is, "Just nasty for the sake of being fun. You’ve got to have a good sex song on the record. If you don’t you kind of suck right?” -- we thought it nothing short of appropriate. So with the museum's curator Sarah Jacobs leading us through each wondrous exhibit, click the link below to watch as Tommy gets an impromptu sex education.
Tommy commented via twitter, "What a spot!! when in NYC ya'll must visit!! thanks guys.....even I learned a few thangs!"
