Additional Notes
Shining supposedly disbanded in August 2004 and reformed at the end of that year.
The band's name does not refer to the book The Shining or the film based on it, but rather according to Niklas Kvarforth, it means "the path to enlightenment".
All Shining full-length albums have six songs, and usually have roman numbers preceding the album titles in chronological order.
Not to be confused with band from Poland & Avant-Garde/Jazz/Black Metal band from Norway.
