SHINING (NOR)
On 06.11.2026 at Backstage By The Mill, Paris
A cult band of the Norwegian experimental scene, SHINING has been led since 1999 by saxophonist, guitarist, and vocalist Jørgen Munkeby. Initially formed as an acoustic jazz quartet, the band has continually reinvented itself, moving from free jazz to progressive rock before birthing its own sonic monster: Blackjazz.
With the album Blackjazz in 2010, SHINING fused extreme jazz, industrial metal, progressive riffs, abrasive saxophone, and chaotic energy into an immediately recognizable blend. The record established the band as one of the boldest acts of its generation, on the edge of Nine Inch Nails, King Crimson, Meshuggah, and avant-garde jazz.
Across the albums One One One, International Blackjazz Society, and Animal, SHINING continued pushing its own limits, alternating industrial violence, massive rock choruses, and unpredictable experimentation.
Following several anniversary concerts dedicated to Blackjazz, including a performance in front of 15 000 people at Hellfest 2024, SHINING is preparing a new album announced for 2026. The saxophone, distorted vocals, and industrial ferocity emblematic of their darkest period will once again be at the heart of this new incarnation.
A highly anticipated return to Paris for one of contemporary metal's most unique and unpredictable bands.
