Overview

The Norwegian band Shining started out as an acoustic jazz quartet, but the sound of this new album, like its predecessor, Blackjazz, is more experimental and extreme than the band's first releases. It incorporates elements from black metal, progressive rock, and 19th and 20th Century classical music with the foundations of jazz music.[1][2][3]
