Shining – Live Blackjazz review for This Is Not a Scene

Not to be confused with the Swedish band of the same name, the Norwegian Shining on “Blackjazz” miraculously managed to fuse the ethic of punk, free form jazz, progressive rock and industrial into an extraordinary combination of violence and aggression within the context of multifaceted and intelligent arrangements. “Live Blackjazz” as the name suggests features many of the tracks from those sessions in a live setting. To attempt to recreate the robot like precision and aggression of “Blackjazz” would itself appear to have been inhuman. But the live DVD that accompanies this release is visual proof that Shining are more than up to the task.......
