"SHINING’s LIVE BLACKJAZZ DVD looks as crazy as their music sounds" |

"From the ice peaks of Norway, the stupendous SHINING are an eclipsing sensation as they meddle in the arts of black metal magic, creating a freak of nature you never before dared cast your eyes upon; 'Blackjazz'!" "SHINING continue to blossom into an entity that can perform alchemy with just about anything." "You’ll find a cover of King Crimson’s “21st Century Schizoid Man,” with heavy-gauge vocals by Grutle Kjellson of Enslaved. It’s a potent closer, and a perfectly damning one. "This is one of the most assaultive, addictive albums around" "Blackjazz is fierce and unrelenting, a slavering beast of an album." "This is one of the loudest, most in-your-face things I've heard in a long time; it will permanently warp your senses of both metal and jazz." |
"The Norwegian wuintet just delivered the most bombastic record this side of the new decade. No kidding." "Compelling and remarkable, from beginning to end." "Luckily, I came across Norway’s SHINING. The music is weird, but sometimes weird is good; and with Blackjazz, weird is spectacular. They tear it a new asshole, and I mean that in the best possible way." "Compelling and remarkable, from beginning to end." "Shining are a unique prospect, possess an inimitable and outrageous musical vision, and somewhat of a cult following as a result."

"This album is a very new beast." "Blackjazz is a new epic." "The Norwegian wuintet just delivered the most bombastic record this side of the new decade. No kidding." "Compelling and remarkable, from beginning to end." "These guys have crafted a very original and paranoid style" "NOTHING on this album comes as expected." "Shining are a unique prospect, possess an inimitable and outrageous musical vision, and somewhat of a cult following as a result." |

"Shining's juggernaut headbanging is orchestrated with intellectual precision [...] |
"Considering that Shining used to be a 'postbop jazz' quartet, many may be bracing for getting thoroughly annoyed by yet another bunch of highbrows discovering extreme music only to delve into cerebral music-for-musicians self-indulgance. Yet the sheer joy and freedom emanated here, combined with the knack to make it sound effortlessly in flow, leads one to forget that any of this is wacky at all and simply enjoy the rollercoaster ride." |
"[...]these cats are among the most sophisticated of the new European generation that listens to absolutely everything and learns to play it, too." |
 |
"Shining convince, surprise and don’t outstay their welcome for a second." |
"Jesus Christ, the opening track "Goretex Weather Report" is a MONSTER. Imagine if John Coltrane cut a record with Led Zeppelin as his backing band. The rest of the album is less agressive, but no less interesting, jazzy art-rock. Good luck getting to it though, track one will blow you away on its own." Questionable Content |
"Now THAT is how to make an entrance!" |
