By all accounts, as much a therapy session as a rock band, Halmstad, Sweden's Shining was formed in 1996 by a then-12-year-old vocalist, Kvarforth, who has hired and fired numerous musicians in the years since, while delivering five full-length albums: I -- Within Deep Dark Chambers (2000), II -- Livets Ändhållplats (2001), III -- Angst, Självdestruktivitetens Emissarie (2002), IV -- The Eerie Cold (2004), and V -- Halmstad (2007).
