Last chance to buy CDs before the price goes up on Aug 8th!
LPs might go up too.
Also we have only 2 copies of International Blackjazz Society left. After that it's gone until I get the rights back from the label, whenever that is.

We are super excited to be playing at ROCKOUT: Shining + supp. Agabas || Hulen in Bergen on October 26th!
And damn, Agabas is kicking some sinister ass! If you like heavy distorted riffs, frenetic drums, and thundering breakdowns with screeching saxophone, then you’ll love Agabas! And us! Hehe!
Let’s play some Blackjazz together! Get your tickets now!
What do we do before going on stage with Shining?
Hug each other. Smile. Say: "Remember to have fun! Stay lose and fool around! Don't be afraid to do something wrong. See you on the other side!"
That's what makes for the heaviest and best shows.

Pretty darn splendid review of our Blackjazz show at Hellfest, along with some spectacular pics!

Thanks a million, Noise Injection!❤️🔥
“Their performance was absolutely crazy, a surge of sounds going in all directions.
It was a total spectacle, a sensory experience where each element (sound, light, energy) combined to create perfectly orchestrated chaos.
[…] leaving me completely euphoric and wanting to relive the experience again and again. Even today I'm still on my ass. Hats off guys!”

Experience the moment that started it all!
It’s been a schizophrenic month here in Shining land!
We recently released a Blackjazz live album and concert film, which led to an electrifying performance at Europe’s biggest metal festival, Hellfest Open Air Festival, with a packed 15,000-cap tent of Blackjazz fans. Then a surprise release of an EP with covers of Avicii and Adele.
And now: A re-master and premiere digital release of our very first acoustic jazz album from 2001!
It’s a reminder that musical exploration has always been our DNA. Shining has always been the most adventurous band in the world. This post is here to remind you to always expect the unexpected from Shining.
Our debut album “Where The Ragged People Go” comes out for the first time on streaming platforms on July 25th! Pre-save and enjoy the moment that started it all! Link in comments.
"I still change. Some people like it. Some people don't. Haha! But f**k'em!"
