Rating: THE REVIEW
Norwegians.
That alone would be enough of an introduction.
The title is a guarantee.
Guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, screams, sax.
Yes, but ground up by the jaws of a Lovecraftian creature and spit out as a kind of degenerate King Crimson-like moloch, devoted to the dark cult of the Beast.
The chthonic and primordial force that permeates the work battles with the elitism in which our artists seem to enclose themselves. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary. Obviously, all this at an unbearable volume.
The synths embellish and enrich the mix, with the sole aim of enhancing the overall paroxysmal atmosphere of terror of the work.
Because this is what the Shining want to demonstrate.
To give form and face to chaos.

Summary by Bot
Shining's Blackjazz delivers an intense, chaotic sound blending guitar, bass, synths, drums, saxophone, and screams. The album channels a Lovecraftian darkness with primal energy, pushing boundaries in experimental jazz metal. Its brutal volume and dark atmosphere create a unique musical experience that embodies both chaos and artistic elitism.Tracklist Videos

They devour all the progressive, the neo-prog, the quasi-prog, the prog-whatever you want, unite it with sick jazz, jazzcore contortions, this jazzshit, and flavor it all with quite a bit of heaviness.
Often misunderstood as show-offs and taken very seriously, I instead find Shining a gem, a small guide on how to mock oneself and have great fun while doing it.

With this record, every insult is glory, every offense is a compliment.
May God bless them, for now we won’t get bored anymore.
