As commented yesterday, the new Shining album "Blackjazz" fulfills the promise of everything the band was/is supposed to be. Earlier attempts were decent, but only now has the group fully realized their potential and become the thundering jazz-metal monster the hype extolled. There's still some stuff I'm iffy on -- moments definitely veer toward forbidden thrash/funk territory and the vocals can be pretty tacky -- but when they get into a heavy groove, they are a beast. Once you get past the initial skronk of "Healter skelter" it's a steamroller full of pounding, industrial strength drums, offset rhythms and furious ensemble playing that keeps building and building from loud to LOUDER and never once lets up. I'm into it.
Shining's older material never totally won me over, but their new album "Blackjazz" is the perfect culmination of everything they ever set out to do. Finally, their evil hybrid of jazz and metal makes sense! The video itself isn't terribly exciting, but the music is killer -- very recommended!
