:: ::
:: Since Norway's jazz-metal outfit, Shining, shocked the ::
:: music world with their genre-defining and now classic ::
:: "Blackjazz" in January 2010, people have been asking ::
:: themselves if it's humanly possible at all to reproduce the ::
:: sheer ferocity and aggressiveness on a stage, while still ::
:: retaining the machinelike precision displayed in their ::
:: punishing studio tracks. ::
:: ::
:: It's time to put all doubts aside: With their newest ::
:: release, a live album and a concert DVD recorded during one ::
:: single concert in Norway, Shining set a new standard in the ::
:: kingdom where they are already dictating the agenda. ::
:: ::
:: For the first time ever, the raw energy of their legendary ::
:: live performances has been captured on tape in a setting ::
:: organized solely by the band itself. Produced by the ::
:: multi-talented front-man Munkeby, and backed by the same ::
:: mixing and mastering team as on their previous Blackjazz ::
:: studio album, we could not get a truer version of what ::
:: Blackjazz is meant to be. Straight from the horse's mouth, ::
:: this is the new standard that bands will strive to match ::
:: for the next 10 or 20 years to come. ::
:: ::
:: Munkeby comments: "This is basically the "Greatest Hits" ::
:: album we had always dreamt of, now beautifully combined ::
:: with breath-taking film footage vibrating with power. It ::
:: feels good to know that people can now truly experience how ::
:: much fire and effort we pour into our live shows. It could ::
:: not have been better!" ::
:: ::
:: With all the blackness and all the humor, "Live Blackjazz" ::
:: is the perfect display of a new genre rising. With all it's ::
:: technicality and all it's rough shooting from the hip. With ::
:: the trademark meltdown guitar tones and the ::
:: Bonham-reborn-as-an-android drumming. Finally we also have ::
:: the proof; the saxophone is the new Devil's instrument. ::
:: ::
:: As we've come to expect from this band, every detail in the ::
:: production chain is top-notch, and contributors at the very ::
:: top of their game has been fetched from around the world. ::
:: Collaborators include mixing engineer Sean Beavan (Marilyn ::
:: Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Slayer), mastering engineer Tom ::
:: Baker (Marilyn Manson, David Lynch, Nine Inch Nails) in ::
:: Hollywood, and colorist John Cryer (Muse) in London. ::
:: ::
:: Continuing in the vein of legendary and genre-defining ::
:: album titles, the band again showcase their utter ::
:: confidence with both the metal and the jazz history, by ::
:: nodding elegantly to both Miles Davis' "Live Evil" and the ::
:: album of the same name by Black Sabbath. ::
:: ::
:: This is what Alive was for Kiss. ::
:: This is what HAARP was for Muse. ::
:: This is Live Blackjazz from Shining. ::
