Sanit Mils presents: SHINING (NOR)

On 06.11.2026 at Backstage By The Mill, Paris

A cult formation of the Norwegian experimental scene, SHINING has been led since 1999 by saxophonist, guitarist and vocalist Jørgen Munkeby. Originally formed as an acoustic jazz quartet, the group kept reinventing 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 quickly became instantly recognisable. The record established the band as one of the most daring formations of its generation, straddling Nine Inch Nails, King Crimson, Meshuggah and avant-garde jazz. Over the albums One One One, International Blackjazz Society and Animal, SHINING has continued to push its own limits, alternating industrial violence, massive rock choruses and unpredictable experiments. Following several anniversary concerts devoted 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 the industrial ferocity emblematic of their darkest period will once again be at the heart of this new incarnation. A much-anticipated return to Paris for one of the most singular and unpredictable groups in contemporary metal.
