Our Take

Shining - The Helsinki Tapes If you thought you had heard it all, think again. Shining's latest live offering, "The Helsinki Tapes," is a mind-blowing journey through the twisted minds of this Norwegian jazz-metal fusion band. Recorded during a spellbinding performance in Helsinki, Finland, this album captures the raw energy and unbridled chaos that is quintessentially Shining. From the moment the first notes of "Goretex Weather Report" hit your eardrums, you know you're in for a wild ride. The virtuosity of the musicianship on display is nothing short of spectacular, with each member of the band pushing the boundaries of their respective instruments to the limit. Frontman Jørgen Munkeby's saxophone skills are particularly impressive, weaving in and out of the cacophony of guitars and drums with effortless precision. Tracks like "House of Warship" and "Blackjazz Deathtrance" showcase Shining's ability to seamlessly blend jazz, metal, and electronic elements into a cohesive and exhilarating sonic tapestry. The sheer intensity of the performance is palpable, leaving you breathless and begging for more. In conclusion, "The Helsinki Tapes" is a tour de force of genre-bending music that will leave you reeling in its wake. If you're looking for something truly unique and exhilarating, look no further than Shining. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
