The Eerie Cold is the fourth album by Shining.[1] It was released on Avantgarde Music in 2005. A black LP version was released, limited to 500 copies. This album was originally intended to be the band's last.[2]
The end of "Claws of Perdition" includes sampled audio from the ending monologue of Christian Bale's character Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.
It is the final Shining album to include Mayhem drummer Hellhammer, as he would depart from Shining shortly after the tour supporting its release.
