After 7 appreciated US Tours, with +100 gigs in Scandinavia and the US, Tour with Paradise Lost in 2013 and 2018, airtime in Swedish and American Radio and various endorsements deals OUTSHINE released their latest album “Prelude To Descent” 2013 and the single "Agony" 2014 the band is now ready for the next chapter. Unfortunately the recordings and release of the new album "1313" was a complete disaster from the start. It was released February 2018 but had to be revoked in June 2018 due to major issues with the hired singer on the album. "Unfortunate, but it made me come to the conclusion that the only way forward is the handle the vocals myself. lyrics and music has such great meaning and are very political. If you are mocking that, then you should not sing those vocals or be in the band. it cost me a tremendous amount of money but was for the better good" //Jimmy - Outshine 

Outshine is now heading back to it´s roots, a darker, more gothic and melancholy approach is taking Outshine songs and vibe to the next level and the essence of the band is really finally coming out. Founder and guitarist Jimmy Boman has now taken on the vocals, going full circle to ensure Outshine prevailing after years of disastrous band member issues, lawsuits, greif and pain. 

A video for the first song with Jimmy on vocals "Love Is Dead" can then be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n1MLQA073A

“OUTSHINE, with a melancholy and dark approach to their music, is heading in a darker and heavier direction, more straight up and with bulldozer-heavy sound. The band has influences from the gothic metal to melodic rock always with a twist. OUTSHINE´s sound has been recognized as unique and with a “live” feeling. Beautiful and honest, dark and evil, tough and hard...OUTSHINE 2019 is hear to stay.”

“With their heaviness, their groove & fat riffs, Outshine has all the ingredients needed to scare the hell out of a poodle rocker in the dark back streets in their hometown Gothenburg”
- 7/10 CLOSE-UP Magazine

“Outshine finds a way to express their music with such a vital & independent touch that they very well could be the "next hope in rock n roll music"
- SLITZ Magazine
