Since their debut on a small Norwegian acoustic jazz label in 2001, Shining (not to be confused with the Swedish band of the same name) has demonstrated a determination to create new sounds and cross boundaries. Their latest ear-crushing achievement is "Blackjazz", which has received excellent reviews from a wide range of sources for its frenzied fusion of black metal and jazz. All Music Guide wrote: "This is one of the most assaultive, addictive albums around, a rip-roaring journey through sonic violence that will leave most quivering in the corner and others (a special few) totally enraptured."
