Already scoring one of the top songs of 2008 on Alternative Addiction, with their hit single “Red Eyes” The [New] Shining are hard at work recording their next album.  The band will spend part of next month in a studio in Cincinnati with producer Erwin Muspers (known from Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Metallica, David Bowie, Scorpions).

An additional portion of the album will be recorded in the Netherlands, with the album targeted to be complete in early June.  A release date for the new album has not been announced, but is expected sometime in late 2009.

The Netherland’s based band formed in 2006, and released their debut album Supernatural Showdown in the spring of 2008.  Shortly after the album’s release, a track from the album, called “Red Eyes” was added to the Alternative Addiction Top 20.  The song was an instant hit, and ended up being one of the most listened to songs of 2008.
