The early recordings of THORNS and their predecessor STIGMA DIABOLICUM belong to the most legendary and influential Norwegian black metal works of all time. This encompasses STIGMA DIABOLICUM’s "Luna De Nocturnus" demo (1991) and rehearsal tape as well the THORNS demos "Grymyrk" (1991) and "Trøndertun" (1992). Mastermind Snorre Ruch aka Blackthorn is widely credited as the original creator of the Nordic black metal guitar sound that in combination with the riffing and concepts of MAYHEM's Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth laid the sonic foundation of the as famous as infamous Norwegian scene – and subsequently the global phenomenon that followed.

SHINING announces a new EP that will include unreleased tracks (both original and cover-songs) with B-sides recorded during their last studio-session. Revering tradition, long-time producer Andy La Rocque have again mixed, mastered and produced, while French painter Maxime Taccardi have also once more contributed with artwork.

DIVIDED YOU’LL STAND AND UNITED YOU’LL FALL marks the end of what at first seemed like a promising era for the band, but one that also ended abruptly. Founder and sole remaining original member Niklas Kvarforth comments: “We are releasing these songs so that we can get the last three years out of our systems, which is a necessity for us to have fully dealt with before its time to record our next album”.
