I love his art but let's be honest, he's really self-aggrandizing here. Those people didn't harm themselves or kill themselves BECAUSE of his music. It's not like normal happy people killed themselves after listening to it, THAT would actually be the dramatic reaction he is talking about. Those people were most likely going to harm and kill themselves anyway but his music might have helped facilitate it or push them over the edge. Still an accomplishment, from his viewpoint, but his conclusion that his music affected them so deeply on a spiritual level to enact those behaviors is a bit much. Great artist, still.
If you look at the comments under songs shining has helped more people than it has hurt. I find it hard to see how music talking about how you feel on this level of understanding will end up in suicide. If we have to be serious Blood on teh dance floor and Pewdo-wig had inflicted more pain and chaos than Shining. and their music is waaay shittier, which is also a net negative. I think he can be such an edge lord. But he is a good enough musician to make me ignore that. Also - I cannot be the only one who thinks he looks like floki from vikings!
Meh most depressed people have told me dsbm makes them feel better because they can relate .. Idk about myself i can relate but i dont feel better.. I just like the music. But not once has dsbm ever made me feel worse. Niklas makes good music but hes the biggest poser in the scene. Anyone can cut themselfs and sing fuck i do it. Ivr got tracks with 1853 (lifelover/vanhelga) but not once have i talked shit like him. He says all this yet hes here and its obvious hes a family guy and wants to be there with them. True "suicidal people", dont last long at all. Because they actually want to die. Talking about dying doesnt mean anything..thats how i can truly say myself and many of you don't want to die.. We simply just lust for a better life.
Suicidal and depressed people listen to music about it, yeah. But I agree that happy people don't listen to music and suddenly kill themselves because of it, that's retarded lol.
Shinning music is art, people who cause harming to themselfs aren't doing because of music but of themselfs. I like some Shinning musics and never thought of hurt myself. Depression need medical treatment, not ban a band or threaten them like accomplices of suicide.
I think Kvarforth absolutely deserves a great deal of blame. Particularly as he’s held all-ages concerts at which kids have engaged in these behaviours…
I used to self hard but I realized it really was not necessary because it was not being able to communicate or feel feelings, so it just takes some effort of battling with emotions and expressing themselves without doing that. And as far as suicide goes, it really isn't necessary either to escape problems, because the problems may be challenging but the world always changes, and things always evolve, and work themselves out one way or another. Everybody will die, so I don't worry about it, try to forget, and forgive whatever its worth.
@@turpasauna You sure don't act like it. If you were, you'd understand why people turn to self-harm. Especially a suicidal schizophrenic with bipolar disorder and drug abuse issues like Niklas.
I can definitely say that Shining has inspired me to self harm. Definitely prob would have done it regardless either way, but many many times, I'd sliced myself up while listening to various Shining songs. 😂😂 I'd say yes, it definitely is pretty powerful art, like alot of DSBM is, but Shining has a "special" feel.. more than most others.
You’re worth more than this sad poser dip💩’s whims. Please remember that. You have a whole life ahead of you and infinitely more potential than a man who sequesters himself in his blithe sadism. He doesn’t deserve his cult, you deserve to prioritise yourself, and you deserve to treat yourself with kindness.
In order to actually do that, you have to lead by example. That's why Watain and Shining are not successful at it, but a band like "The Devil's Blood" is. "If I lead, will you follow..." It's really demented and honestly a bit pathetic to think this way, but hey, I don't judge man... This dude has seen some shit. We'd all be like him if we were him. Know what I mean?
@@jeffweber7043 yeah I saw him in a very very small venue in Montana, One of those places where the stage is like two or three feet off the ground and you're right there in front of them. And he went absolutely crazy full-blown cutting himself starting fights with people puking, none of us in the crowd at ever even heard of them before and no one was prepared for any of it It was kind of awesome.
Come on man... This same answer was answered in an interview when Shining released their first album... back then you could get impressed.... but 20 years after?? really... For sure the 2 first albums of Shining are quite oppressive and dark. For me a cornerstone of DSBM... sure you could feel that suffering and despair in the atmosphere... anyway believing some people commit suicide just because they were listening Shining is childish as fuck...
I like (the first half of) Shining's discography but Nik is the pinnacle of someone who can't let their art speak for itself, always has to do or say something cringe to sustain his "public image" lmao these ppl didn't kill themselves because of u Niklas, even if Shining helped them resolve that they wanted to commit suicide, who's to say they didn't encounter a better dsbm project that actually aided their suicidal tendencies after finding Halmstad on Spotify? lmao I want to like Niklas, I like his work, but he's nu metal and metalcore levels of cringe sometimes
Yeah I guess suicide is an answer to depression and what not but so is getting strong standing up and getting help. As a artist I'd rather help a person to live a good and happy life.
Yes he talks about how everyones effected by his music to the point they dont eat and lose weight and how jenny craig sued him for it. But hes very proud he was awarded medals etc
He has not been honest since day one. He is a pathological liar and switches up his stories every time he tells them. It's really difficult to believe anything he says nowadays because of that.
@@Mibmu I believe you. It feels like the things he says he says because they sound interesting or intriguing. Like he's caught up in that fantasy. Even when he's talking, it feels like art, not necessarily truth.
The first time i heard the track "manipulation session" was the first time i felt fear in my gut when i was 15. Today I desire suicide more than ever, and I look to Shining/Niklas for encouragement to follow through with it. Im excited to say the least.
This is not something worth being excited for. Please don’t throw your life away for the sake of this whimpering worm. You’re a thousand times the person he is, and deserve dignity in whatever destiny you claim. To snuff it out for his amusement would be an ungodly waste.
He's extreme. Yeah. You know how many people watching this are no better? No more "pure"? What is a life to any of you,if you haven't met them. Would you not simply consider those that killed themselves weak, and those that benefited from your art strong? We're all monsters in some sense. Let someone attack our loved ones and if you were given freedom by legal authorities to do whatever you wanted to the parasite... Would you not turn them into an unrecognizable mass of meat? Don't lie to yourselves. We're all weak and strong as we have built ourselves up to be! And when that time comes to see whether we cower or stand up in the face of fear, we have only ourselves to remain subservient to! For even in the bible it is recognized that we are gods, capable of more than the most holy! Let your superiority complex rot!
I’ve known people who are no longer with us. None of them are ‘weak.’ All of them were broken by circumstance and swallowed whole by the uncaring earth. We are not monsters. We are people, and our lives have an impact no matter how insignificant they may seem. Niklas is a sad, confused manchild too cowardly to confront his own psyche, who wishes to become the demonic circumstance eating him alive. You deserve better than paralysis and stagnation under his pseudophilosophical spectre.
Self asking, journaling, reflecting, and praying is an option to curb anxiety, and to overcome addiction. Let's make to be honest. He creates a metal music which can harm for everybody.
That all just leads to rumination for me, unfortunately. If only prayer could help my life, but not much seems to come from it. I'm always in the same spot. Nothing changes. At least music brings comfort.
Shinings music actually has an opposite effect on me, i love listening to it while working out. the opposite of self harm, actually self improvement.
... During suffering 😂
Bro actually same we gotta be friends
Same

This guy comes off like an edgy teen. Everything he says makes me cringe
That’s who he markets this schtick to. The impressionable, the young. It’s sheer braggadocios evil in the least metal way possible…
He is so 'dark' and 'evil' right
Such a loser
hooray great achievement dude

I like to watch this every time I need a pick-me-up.
There are english subtitles.
Actual laugh out loud...
Fucking mad man he is. But I love his music.

Yup, this one's going in my cringe compilation.
Maybe you should turn to an comedian career? Will definitely add you to my cringe compilation, clown
Wtf
And other folks get their kicks out of helping people.
What a drama queen. Those fake lashes suit him well.
Tell me you haven't experienced depression without telling me you haven't experienced depression
@@kevinsundelin8639 Wrong buddy. Been depressed for most of my life.
@@turpasauna You sure don't act like it. If you were, you'd understand why people turn to self-harm. Especially a suicidal schizophrenic with bipolar disorder and drug abuse issues like Niklas.
Dissection did it better.
Ahahahaa
My thought exactly
Finally something on UA-cam I like.
Wow uploaded only 3 days ago. I will watch the documentary next week
Here: player.vimeo.com/video/206580620 or buy the DVD here: www.artaxfilm.com
@@lordsatan6542 He won't and I'm glad. Just pay for it if you want to see it so badly
Hey Niklas, why don't you practice what you preach? Do it. Even better, do it live like the cool kids.
He's covered in self harm scars. I know you thought this was an amazing "gotcha" comment but really you just come across like a twat.
And maybe leave the kids alone while you’re at it… [him not you]
He's into hurtcore.
I can definitely say that Shining has inspired me to self harm.

Why are you still alive?
lmao cringe

Who cares, shut up pussy.
Gloomy Sunday did it better.
Definition of an edgelord.
wow like you just making up words that don't even fucking exist in the english language.... CLOWN
No, Niklas. You can't make people kill themselves. You only can have impact on not so mature people which is You must admit not so praiseworthy.
On children. He’s not particularly shy about it either…
Dark Pewdiepie is awesome
Turn on auto generated and it provides English subs.
In order to actually do that, you have to lead by example. That's why Watain and Shining are not successful at it, but a band like "The Devil's Blood" is.
"If I lead, will you follow..."

He's smart. He knows people have malleable minds that can be impressed with these sort of statements and behavior.
Saw him live that shit was wild
Me too. The band played great in LA but the crowd sucked. Highlight of the night for me was Euge ripping that amazing guitar solo

Shut up Emily
Wtf
Subtitles would be nice
You cant put them on youtube yourself its not hard ffs
imagine becoming an hero due to a music band

He’s the Ronnie Radke of this scene and I want him to lose his way again (in the storm, in the wind-)
if there was a person in the black metal culture / Scene id Personally Maul, it would be you Niklas.
Yeah I guess suicide is an answer to depression and what not but so is getting strong standing up and getting help. As a artist I'd rather help a person to live a good and happy life.
Comments like this give me hope. Kvarforth needs to be condemned more consistently, particularly for his deliberate targeting of kids…
is this a video about weight loss
Yes he talks about how everyones effected by his music to the point they dont eat and lose weight and how jenny craig sued him for it. But hes very proud he was awarded medals etc
Very interesting.
What are the voices during the end credits of the documentary?
It's from a party where the guitar was recorded.
Why was this deleted from your documentary?
Several topics ended up on the floor - as per usual. Three of them ended up on the DVD.

0:15 to get started.
