Shining

A Norwegian group that evolved from an acoustic jazz quartet to an alternative metal band, with many turns and twists along the way, mostly towards the progressive and unpredictable. Formed in 1999 by leader and sole constant member Jørgen Munkeby, earlier known for his work with the nu jazz group Jaga Jazzist, Shining released two straightforward post-bop records in the 2000s before turning towards complex jazz fusion on 2005's In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster; 2010's Blackjazz brought about their first encounter with extreme metal, which they combined with their jazz roots. Since then, the group has made their sound increasingly accessible – their most recent LP, 2018's Animal, is a straightforward hard rock record, compared by reviewers to the likes of Foo Fighters and Nickelback.
