SHINING (NOR): The Madness and the Damage Done (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[saueguden]

Utrolig kul konsert i Ski i dag! Eller... i går.

[scheepskameelt]

I was wondering, regarding the comlexity of some of your songs, they must be written down? Would it be possible for me to get hold of some of the scores for the drum parts?

I would love to try out playing your music.

Thanks

[alex2410]

Shining ER FÆTTE FETT!!

[Daggs1337]

This is still one of my favorite videos, and someone did an excellent job on editing the single version of the track

[Joesus5000]

The thematic riff is incredible - along with the vocal effect, it makes for a killer tune.



[TheMeatballMen]

so awesome

[theDenOfIniquity]

Like a pure artistic light blazing through the dreck that most call music in this era.

Horns up from the east coast of Canada

[TheCommieDuck]

Best.

Intro.

Ever.

I cannot say I like black metal, but this song is just amazing.

[zeetekk123]

@TheCommieDuck

Its not black metal dude ;) ITS BLACK JAZZ!!! :D SHINING<3<3<3<3<3

[NorwegianVolcano]

DAT RIFF

[corpsejp]

Q rica banda!!!.....：O♥

[bestbanduneverheard]

Ihsahn brought me here!

[alvinegrogalo]

AWESOME!!! The true Shinning, Black Jazz Madness!

[satyrization]

I really don´t know, what was the thing they have grown on, but it seems to me that It could be a mix of geniality with madness. One of the best thing I ve ever heard, have already purchased this album. Its a pitty that is unable to find the first two- ... proposal for reedition?

[darkfieldsofme]

i didnt need Devin to send me here, cos i know about good music

[CUFF3R]

Such a unique sounding band. I love it!

[Ind0ctrin]

I remember seeing Shining for the first time when they toured with Enslaved and they were fucking awesome!!! Can't wait to see them next week supporting Devi, and to be honest I wasn't gonna go see Devi until Shining were confirmed as support!!!

[Ph4nt0mL1mb]

you are bloody amazing! I just learned about the live cd, I can't wait for the new one too :)

[13SecondInk]

Seriously though, great band, awesome music. I've seen them live two times, and these guys are definetly on their best when they're on stage.

[13SecondInk]

@FlipmindMusic Devin Townsent me here!

[m4ssee]

What genre is this? What country they come from?

[Mordain607]

@m4ssee

There are two bands (at least) called Shining.

This is one. They are from Norway and are an avant-garde metal band who combine elements of death metal and free jazz to create there sound.

There is another Shining from Sweden (I think), who I haven't heard, but I understand are a pretty straight-forward black metal band.

[btbamfav23]

A pure masterpiece, i have been OBSESSES with this song since i heard it. EPIC!!!

[rastamouse1988]

i can imagen Cafe Del Mar playing this at sunset in Ibiza... what a lovely chilled track.

[At1shadow]

Guys, you are awesome! Are you going to record something new?

[MaDTytuS]

That acoustic jazz is so FUCKING GREAT Shining!

Where I can buy a cd?

[SHININGofficial]

@MaDTytuS Thanks so much! Glad you like it! Actually, I do not think those two first albums are available anymore. Not even as digital files. Sorry about that.

[khadesru]

when i was reading bout NIN i was expecting something like that

when i was listening to NIN i was dissapointed

when i was listening to THAT i thought "that stuff MUST be more popular than NIN"

i wish i can play like that, but being limited to do shitty chiptunes

[GrungeWerewolf]

Please come to the U.S!!!!!

[mtjpb001]

Awesome!

[necroludder]

omfg. Jørgen Munkeby is so fucking sexy

[btbamfav23]

@necroludder some of his facial expressions remind me of Eric Northman from true blood lmao!

[hailMichaelSwaim]

Dear Shining, I can see there is a reason you've been making more than a few end of the year top ten lists for this! This is some of the most original music I've heard in a long time, and utterly amazing. And everything before this was awesome, too! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a hard copy anywhere of Where the Ragged People Go

[Soulsplatter]

I saw you guys live in Wacken yesterday and i gotta say - you probably were the band who flashed me the most on the festival. I really like your stye of music, i always thought about making some metal/funk/prog/jazz crossover and YOU guys turned it out fuckin good...

keep that shit going please :D:D:D

[damienmarwood]

Wow what happened to Shining!

[kiwi9062]

Massive epileptic fit!!

[daggersandpayphones]

drums are for parades, a belgian band, brought me here. I love them and now i love you. Great stuff!! grtz from belgium

[Horzagiar]

Yes! Here in Helsinki once again, see you guys there. Oh and those of you who don't where the gig is, it's in DOM  (Fredrikinkatu 42, it's "behind" Kamppi).

[BullySHLegend]

Lofthus is by far one of the most interesting modern drummers i've ever heard, from this to Elephant9, he's just amazing!

[mtjpb001]

I fucking like this song

[TheSymmachus]

This song is pretty insane; I like that.

[FlipmindMusic]

is it true you guys shining started as an acoustic jazz group?

[SHININGofficial]

@FlipmindMusic Yes, that is correct. Our two first albums Where the Ragged People Go and Sweet Shanghai Devil are probably not easy to find now, but there are some samples from this era at the Myspace url /shiningjazz.

[KingHobum]

@SHININGofficial very interesting samples. Is there any way to get ahold of those albums digitally? I don't think they were ever released internationally, but i'd really like to track your whole development as a band, it's incredibly interesting.

[L0wPressure]

Damn, guys, you are so awesome)

[Mappman]

Bloody hell, this song is good. Come pay day, you have my money good sirs!

[deopisi]

only 94000 views in one year?!?!? the world sucks.....

[codyhou405]

Does anyone know where to get guitar tabs for this band. doesn't have to be a certain song, but i'd like to play some of the riffs this band plays. They're fucking awesome. My friend today during Language Arts class should me this band and i can't stop listening to them. So please msg me a site or tabs. thanx.

[mynewid666]

come to australiaaaaaaaaaaaa

please.

[johnyboy1977]

This was my album of the year by far, nothing gave me more pleasure than to debate this gem with some friends of mine who work at some jazz stores in Portugal, I mean, it's not everyday you are raped by a mix of naked city/painkiller/ brutal truth/syl/etc... Which reminds me: WHEN ARE YOU PLAYING IN PORTUGAL?

[mtjpb001]

@johnyboy1977 NEVAAAR

[mtjpb001]

Epic Win

[SinjikuAoD]

Epileptic people are dead.

xD

[TheInundation]

ministry-licious!



[CyanideSovereign]

So what damage did the madness do?

[Guitaristscreamer]

This song is fuckin sick but WTF can you classify it as?

[mtjpb001]

@Guitaristscreamer metal jazz. if you dont like it, fuck you.

[Guitaristscreamer]

@mtjpb001 Chill, I thinks its fucking sick i just wanted to know what this genre is called

[TheRoopeKonna]

The beginning was wierd.. later on it reached a harmony inside the song, so imho it was ok. I just dont like the "OORRgg" things xD

They're ok, but they also gotta hurt the singers throat. Poor guy, he's got a long painful week ahead.

[Xaenima1]

That guitar/synth/whatever-the-fuck­-it-is sound is awesome!

[ratchpick2]

Oh my God, I fucking love this.

[MassExtinctionEvent]

Actually knew this great band already, but respect to Devy for helping to introduce a bunch of people to them. Blackjazz was easily one of the best albums of 2010.

[inhumanrampager]

@MassExtinctionEvent I fully agree with you sir, on both parts. Blackjazz was my 4th favorite album of '10, if I remember my list correctly. I also heard a bootleg of the Armageddon Concerto....easily the greatest live performance I've ever heard. I really wish Shining and Enslaved would release a live cd or dvd for that, because it was incredible.

[irigormo]

@inhumanrampager wow, thanks for posting that. I found it and it ROCKS. They should release it.

[Ainarikiar]

Dev brought me here. You did great at Forlorn Fest!

[Ainarikiar]

Dev brought me here. You did great at Nordfest!

[Kintso]

Wow, sent by Devin, this is cool!

[FellishBeast]

10 people have never bled from their ears.

[Darkmoon0999]

Dev brought me here :), this band is awesome! so different and I'm amazed

[darkpelos]

I hope to see you in Greece soon. You have a lot of supporters here. You were supposed to play in August of 2009 in Thessaloniki but it was cancelled.:( Btw the new album kick ass as all the others! Hails from Greece (Thessaloniki) \m.

[Motosuna1982]

Cool. :D

[Skakhti]

It's fucking aanoying when I can't watch certain video because I'm from Poland, France, Spain etc. ...

[purerizzo]

Devy brought me here, and I'm glad he did!

[ElMightyMasturbator]

@purerizzo Ironically enough, Shining and Devin became my two absolute favorite artists long before it was announced that they were touring together.

[AirspaceFalling]

Woooooaaaah. Anybody else sent here by Devin Townsend?

[WNxXcutioner]

@AirspaceFalling yeah. its kinda like Atari Teenage Riot meets Dillinger Escape Plan. very interesting. gonna have to check these guys out some more

[MarBoLOL]

@AirspaceFalling i love how Devin just spreads slowly on every youtube video there is :DDD

[Nightschism]

@AirspaceFalling Funny, I was just listening to him. It was a very roundabout path: Devin Townsend begat the desire to listen to Diablo Swing Orchestra, who begat the desire to find more jazz or swing-style metal bands, which brought me to this band.

[KMFDM781]

@AirspaceFalling I wasn't but the fact that his name is somehow associated with this makes it that much more awesome.

[schattengang]

Wow, I've grown a third eye while listening to this ^^

Greetings from Germany...

[immortalx50]

it it a black metal band of 31st century?

[maybe7347]

put it in H! hahahaha i love these guys...

[RossWildish]

@maybe7347 I think its because some places in Europe write B as H because a lower case b used to look somewhat like a h when hand written down. It's just a wierd mistake that ended up becoming part of the theory in some cases. I know some Swedish people who write it like that.

[Doginater]

This is so awesome, so different, but so great.

I do have a gear question though; does anyone know what synth unit is being used? The small red one I mean..

[SHININGofficial]

@Doginater During live concerts we use Clavia Nord synths; one for rhodes sounds into an amp, and one for stereo synth sounds DI to FOH. On the album audio, which you hear in this video, the synth is mainly an Oberheim Matrix 1000, default patch number 009 or 019 (don't remember which). This was distorted through a Zvex Octane 3, and blended with the dry signal. In the choruses some of the guitars sound very synthy also. They have been played through Zvex Machine/FF or a BitMangler.

[allber7o]

@Doginater A nord modulator!



[sadako3]

love it from france

[secretview3r]

Nice. Love it.

[CTUKeyes]

weird metal... that's your genre!

[deopisi]

just... wow

[metalmillita666]

blackened trance metal?

[TheAendersen]

Wow ! Huge development to their early work !!!! Just great !!! And now with METAL suitable for Wacken

[MrSaw]

WACKEN 

[JoshTheBassist]

Seriously. Fuck yeah. I never woulda heard of ya until Devin Townsend mentioned it. HURRAY GOOD MUSIC! =D

[earworm]

[arty908]

I too am a person sent from Devin...

[spydergarbler]

Devy also sent me here

[DanKen05]

Devy sent me here..

[Ferosaur]

It's really amazing. I just don't like it :-/

[BrutalButcheredFukr]

Electro seizure metal... What a mindfuck!!!

[tomatooverlord]

oh god, when the song ended I just started laughing. Shit's fucking amazing.

[bhaallbherith]

oh yeah!!! welcome to new industrial metal!!!!

[simonepaigewebber]

This band is fucken crazy live!! Can't wait to see them again

[SenatorGrimshaw]

I'm scared.

[NickTorrance237]

HOLY SHITBALLS!!!

I have a ridiculous amount of respect for these guys.

This band actually beats Strapping Young Lad in insanity.

That's not an easy feat to accomplish.

Incredible musicians.

[Macarga]

@NickTorrance237 ooooohhh good shout but I'm not totally sure, some moments on City and Alien are pretty fucked up.

[incident67]

Holy shit! I haven't been this excited about new music in a long long time. Fucking awesome work guys!

[entropiakalanen]

Metal Fellows out of the chains of tonality! Keep up the interesting work.

[frosafelix]

Found your band by chance yesterday. "Blackjazz" is just huge. Come play in Portugal, you guys are fantastic

[goncalobcunha]

@frosafelix

Isso seria tão bom! Ando quase há um ano à espera! :(

[goncalobcunha]

Isso seria tão bom! Ando quase há um ano à espera! :(

[samuelviani]

One of the best live bands I have seem so far.

[z0z0bra]

black metal and jazz combined in the best possible way

[grindcoremaniac]

this is great. i love music that pushes the boundaries of listenability.

[steinarbeddari]

The void has won!

This song officially owns Alanis Morisette's "You oughta know".

[andrey666]

Real musicians.

[sirks19]

A thousand times better than the depressive BM Shining.

[sirks19]

A thousand times better than the depressive shitty Shining.

[BananaRelapse]

Jævli fet konsert på lillehammer i helga! Et minne for livet!

[bravelesszombie8]

What I don't get is (maybe I'm just not the person this band intends to please) how I absolutely love this song and Fisheye, but when it comes to Omen, I just think it's noise?

Still, fucking awesome song.

[goncalobcunha]

Por acaso, a Omen é a única música de que não gosto no Blackjazz...

[theguitartom]

honestly when i heard black metal and jazz being mixed togetherin a reveiw iwas like "hah thats impossible" but no it actually works carry on making music very interestin and original

[mycoresteam]

Brilliant. Technical and interesting, yet it still sounds like it's just being torn from inside of you.

[Horzagiar]

I was in the first row, when you played at Virgin Oil (yesterday). You guys are amazing. The gig was best I have been in years. Greetings from Finland.

[SHININGofficial]

@Horzagiar We'll be back in Helsinki next week! Wednesday April 30th at the Club Factory, playing support for Devin Townsend Project. Hope to see you there!

[Horzagiar]

@SHININGofficial Cool. But then it's March 30th, not April 30th.

[JVA90]

@SHININGofficial its actually Cable factory(well... in name only these days) and I am so stoked that you guys are playing sounds awesome. See u there, I already have my ticket.

[SHININGofficial]

Thanks to @JVA90 for pointing out that the correct name of the venue is "Cable Factory", not "Club Factory". Thanks to @Horzagiar for pointing out that the correct date is MARCH 30th, not April.

[Pr1est0fDoom]

Tremendous! Listened to this album for the first time today by recommendation of Tristania's male clean singer, Kjetil Nordhus, and I'm absolutely addicted! O_O

[Persillehp]

I love the guitars!

[Achw3l]

The chorus after the mid part is fucking SICK MAN

[hybridharris]

These guys are fucking incredible. Just bought the Blackjazz album and it RULES.

[bobos01]

thanks trym. never knew of this

[JustDrinkIt]

the 4 people who dislike this vid is probably mad and damaged.

[Creepingflame]

@JustDrinkIt was gonna say the same thing :>, how those covers commin along mate? : )

[JustDrinkIt]

@Creepingflame its comming along pretty nice. still hard to figure out some parts by ear.. alot of stuff going on at some parts haha. but i can play Madness, fisheye, exit sun, parts of healter skelter, in the kingdom of kitch you will be a monster and Asa Nisi Masa! don't have a good camera, so its gonna be hard for me to put it on youtube :/

[Creepingflame]

@JustDrinkIt : / but keep it metal ! :)

[RUairidhSAAN]

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

[foulitup]

i did a google search trying find some info on the norwegian black metal band w/ the same name. luckily, i found this band instead. black jazz is an awesome album

[TheIronParasite]

Holy shit massive skills!!!

[annesofiiewp]

When you sing "Madness And The Damage Done" - it's sounds like you are singing "Lead Us Into Salvation" that's cool.

[Doritoz0rz]

Amazing much?

[TheSprince84]

Very F****in cool !!!

[Arrghhville]

What guitar is the lead guitarist using?

[AgedTeen]

This sounds NEW and powerful... great!

[marley6]

fy f.. A-ha har peiling!! Stein stein steintøft!!

[Kure47]

Hadde det ikke vært for VG lista hadde jeg aldri hørt om dere. Drit bra! Grattis med millionen, den var vell fortjent

[quaat]

Jeg henger meg på denne. Det var deilig å oppdage et norsk kvalitetsband igjen. Lykke til!!!

[erjohi]

Så dere på VG lista, drit bra! Det eneste bandet med ordentlig musikk som var der etter min mening :L Grats med 1mill ;D

[strandennn]

@erjohi samme her, driit bra!

[OmegaTroll69]

I'm addicted to your new album, I have seen the future of extreme music and it is shining.

[achoukah]

heard this on the metalcast podcast. fucking awesome, been listening to it pretty much every day for two-three weeks now.

[sorenaa]

Smurfehits! Jæskla fett!

[Nannirk]

Nine Inch Nails meets acid jazz and black metal. That's how it sounds to me. Terribly noisy, but I like this song.

[Nannirk]

There should be an epilepsy warning at the start of this video. :P

[XmegallicaX]

@Nannirk

Exactly what I thought... XD

[Nannirk]

@XmegallicaX What comment did you reply to? The one about epilepsy or the one about the sound?

[XmegallicaX]

@Nannirk

Epilepsy :-)

[SovietJoint]

Drummer's a absolute beast, aswesome record you've put out ;D

[Ceronus]

This... this is how music should be made.

[hellzeeko]

I love it! One of the best things I've heard in awhile.

[Throne777]

I really love this band. Sounds like Marilyn Manson with a saxophone shoved up his arse circa Golden Age of Grotesque XD

[cardboarddalek]

2:12 Is just splittercore epilepsy awesomeness

[GANGSTAsizeZAK]

hey i really want to know what kind of effect pedal your lead guitarist is using on this song,it sounds so good

[SHININGofficial]

@GANGSTAsizeZAK Hi! On the main refrain riffs the following sounds were used: Mostly Zvex Fuzz Factory and Devi Ever Bit Mangler on the DI-ed SG humbucker guitar, along with a more standard overdrive pedal and a gate on the single coil Tele guitar in amp with a blend of the ambiance mic. The two guitars were closely matched to an Oberheim Matrix synth 2000 slightly crunched through Zvex Octane 3, and Meastro B:Assmaster on bass with octave pedal. On other sections: Zvex Machine, WH-4 and TS-9.

[AveEnd]

@SHININGofficial omg dude x.x mad kickass gear you guys have there xD awesome!!

[einuhrzehn]

@SHININGofficial thats crazy?:D is the sound still guitar like after this threatment??

[loudspeaks]

@SHININGofficial Z-Vex pedals are amazing. If only I could afford them. hahaha. Glad to see good pedals being used by such amazing artists such as yourself.

[ObscuredInside]

@SHININGofficial this setup so mad it did damage to me (pun intended)

[chemixzgz82]

this is f*n insane but i like new earaches

[Johnthefisherman1]

This band is so unbelievebly fuckin genius!!! Saw them live at Roadburn 2010 in Tilburg Holland,absolutely my favo band for now,made me think of a mixture of John Zorn crazy Sax-Freak music and Meshuggah in collaboration with Venetian Snares..just a idea..i'm also drunk ehheheh

[Styku91]

Any chances for tab? Chorus riff is fuckin wicked

[zach1122666]

this is my new favorite band

[sonnengott666]

which effects do you use?

especially the mustang-guitarist ;)

absolute a really great song !

[powerotoc]

saw them in gent was huge, great band!!!

[Creepingflame]

Got most of the song now, only the 2. verse that's a bit tricky >_> blasted those keyboards :p

[Creepingflame]

@SHININGofficial thank you so much, and keep up the awesome riffs, you might see me at raumarock this year :-)

[Creepingflame]

does anyone know what guitartuning they use on this album?

[SHININGofficial]

Hi! On this song, and also most of the rest of the album, we use a 6-string guitar with all strings in standard E tuning, but with the lowest string tuned down to H. This string is usually a standard E-string (0.49), so it will have to be tuned slightly below H to compensate for the rising in pitch at the attacks. On the other hand, this again will have to be compensated for with a slight upwards bend on sustained long notes, so the pitch don't drop too low. Cheers, Munkeby
