2026 at Backstage By The Mill, Paris A cult formation of the Norwegian experimental scene, SHINING has been led since 1999 by saxophonist, guitarist and singer Jørgen Munkeby.

Initially created as an acoustic jazz quartet, the band has continually reinvented itself, moving from free jazz to progressive rock before giving birth to its own sonic monster: Blackjazz.

With the album Blackjazz in 2010, SHINING fuses extreme jazz, industrial metal, progressive riffs, abrasive saxophone and chaotic energy into a blend that became immediately recognizable.

The album establishes the band as one of the most daring formations of its generation, at the boundary between Nine Inch Nails, King Crimson, Meshuggah and avant-garde jazz.

Through the albums One One One, International Blackjazz Society and Animal, SHINING continued to push its own limits, alternating industrial violence, massive rock choruses and unpredictable experiments.

After several anniversary concerts devoted to Blackjazz, including a performance before 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 again be at the heart of this new incarnation. A long-awaited return to Paris for one of the most singular and unpredictable bands of contemporary metal.
