Time for the blackjazz orgasm. Original formed as an acoustic jazz quartet in 1999, SHINING quickly evolved to a more experimental progressive metal band from where on they progressed to the more innovative avant-garde blackjazz style. When they kicked off with ‘The Madness and the Damage Done’ you could feel that the crowd was ready for it, although the sound wasn’t that great from the start. Jørgen Munkeby was ready to give all what he had, and he did it with bravura on excellent performances of ‘Fisheye’, ‘Healter Skelter’, ‘Omen’ and ‘Blackjazz deathtrance’. Not to give the other members less credits but hell, Jørgen is a hell of a sax player, incredible what he is doing with the saxophone. For those who doubt if a saxophone fits metal, listen to SHINING, you will be impressed. During the set, the sound wasn’t still very good, as some people yelled they wanted to hear more guitar in the room, which inflicted in some humoristic interactions with the crowd. The set ended with the King Crimson cover ‘Twenty First Schizoid Man’ which on certain points became so chaotic that it got a haunting vibe. An encore was thrown with the “hit”  ‘We Won’t Forget’ which has that Nine Inch Nails vibe all over it.
