The [New] Shining (CD out now!)

BIOGRAPHY THE [NEW] SHINING
The [New] Shining is an ambitious 3-piece heavy rock band, set up in the summer of 2006.
The [New] Shining is:
Nax (Xander Stok) - Vocals & Lead guitar
R (Arjan Nijman) - Bass guitar & backing vocals
Vince (Vincent Stok) - Drums
The [New] Shining 's music is all about:
Energy and emotion, a wall of sound, drive and haunting melodies. Harmonious vocals set in a background of melancholy and aggression, catchy chorus lines. These are the key elements of TNS’s music.
The [New] Shining originates from former 5-piece bands Lost Serenity ('96-'99), CHAIN ('00-'01) and the 4-piece band Dinos4Dinner (..02-..06).
In 2002, after having tried innumerable singers and many musical escapades, lead-guitarist “Nax” steps up to take on the lead-vocals. Bass-guitarist “R” feels he can’t stay behind and takes care of the backing-vocals as of this moment.
When the rhythm-guitarist decides to quit the band, it’s quickly decided to continue as a threesome, under the new band name:
“The [New] Shining”.
This takes place in the scorching hot summer of 2006 during the recording of TNS’s debut CD “Supernatural Showdown”.
Despite the “necessary” setback, the band keeps on going as passionate as ever and delivers a large amount of tracks. Partly because of this, TNS caught the attention of the prestigious Chrysalis (of Velvet Revolver, Skunk Anansie, also David Bowie, Pink Floyd among others) and signed a world-wide publishing-deal.
Recently TNS finished its brand-new debut album “Supernatural Showdown” mixed by top-producer Oscar Holleman (of Within Temptation among many others).
January 2008 T[N]S signs a record-deal with FLOW Records and a management- and bookings deal with White Mountain Management (known from Moke, Kraak en Smaak and many others).
April 18th 2008 their debut CD “Supernatural Showdown” is released, together with the release of their first single “Temptation” and “Temptation” videoclip.
T[N]S’s track “Temptation”, from “Supernatural Showdown”, is now frequently played on 3FM, National Radio!
All songs of The [New] Shining are being written in a “live” situation. Therefore it's obvious their music is best heard & seen on stage as it provides an overwhelming, spectacular show!
Let's just say they never knew what hit 'em!! ;)
