SHINING / MONUMENTUM

Release Year: 2022
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: dark melancholic depressive metal/rock

this special split, first issued as a 7" EP vinyl in 2013, marks exceptional Swedish and Italian performers join forces, both hating stylistic frames and artistic restrictions, hereby changing cover songs: Niklas Kvarforth has risen up from the grave a very sensitive track of not so widely known gothic rock crew Bay Laurel, while Roberto Mammarella has answered with a bald PJ Harvey remake, matter-of-factly nailing few versions of The River melancholia, and this recent edition has a different one from the initial edition - on top of that In Misery Front Row comes as additional track of Monumentum, where vocals are delivered by none else but Niklas himself, remarkably enforcing such a collaboration; strictly limited transparent purple 10" vinyl edition
