Et dyrisk album og konserter er ventet i oktober.

'Animal' kommer via Spinefarm/Universal 19. oktober.

"Instinctively rebellious multi-instrumentalist, vocalist & songwriter, frontman Jørgen Munkeby, is the unique creative force behind Norway’s trailblazing jazz-metal collective, Shining. Active in the musical underground since 1999, Shining have been breaking down musical barriers since their inception, mixing progressive, technical metal, jazz, avant-garde and experimental sounds with cutting-edge visuals and blazing live performances. Munkeby (skilled saxophonist & guitarist, a graduate of the Norwegian Academy of Music) has released a number of Shining albums, collected awards, toured with the likes of Dillinger Escape Plan & Devin Townsendand effectively forged a whole new musical genre in Blackjazz."

Videoen til tittellåten ser du under her, og har de blitt litt mykere? Låten her påminner om Faith No More synes jeg...

Munkeby forteller i en pressemelding at han var trøtt av å gjøre det samme, han var ferdig med Blackjazz, han ville skape noe nytt og spennende.

"I needed a change. I’m finally at the point where I have nothing to lose and everything to win. We had 360 degrees to play with so we could’ve gone in any direction. This new record is more Muse than Meshuggah, more Ghost than Gojira, and more Biffy Clyro than Burzum!"
