release notes

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.
