Eff a box of chocolates, with Norway’s Shining, you truly never know what you’re going to get. The band have basically evolved from a jazz odyssey to a surprisingly heavy band that sounds Killing Joke-like at times. Oh yeah, and lots of saxophone.

Shining is a band many have read about but few have actually experienced. While I’m generally a fan of the heavier variety of Scandinavian metal, a tour that was billing itself as the “No More Safe Space Tour” is one I had to see. I’m a firm believer in freedom of expression and free […]

Swedish death metal band Shining are currently on the road with Revenge and Wolvhammer on the “No More Safe Space Tour.” As you might imagine, this isn’t a show where you’ll find Antifa members at, unless they’re protesting it (which they haven’t so far). At any rate, Toilet Ov Hell reports that tomorrow’s show in […]

As always, it seems that there are far too many high quality releases this year to squeeze into a list of just ten. In an attempt to resolve this conflict, I have personally decided to have my list be exclusive to genres. Or in other words, I can’t have more than one album listed that […]

[youtube]https://youtu.be/7tNODbdyJaw[/youtube] The last time we saw a video from Norway’s Shining, it took you to dizzying heights. Just a few weeks later, and they’re dropping you down to the depths of human emotion with their video for “The Last Stand.” Like a cross between Lord of the Flies and Fight Club, the video covers a ritualistic battle […]

This is turning out to be a much busier October than one would expect, given the trends of previous years. That is definitely not a bad thing, though, as we’ve got some high-profile names and unexpected surprises coming our way this week. Check it out! Stryper, Fallen (Frontiers) 2013’s No More Hell to Pay was one […]
