Shining - In The Kingdom Of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster Grindstone
Review by Haylana Hay
The album "In The Kingdom Of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster Grindstone" by Shining is a dark and experimental journey into the realms of avant-garde metal. The band's signature blend of black metal, jazz, and progressive rock is on full display here, with intricate instrumentation and complex arrangements that keep the listener engaged throughout.
From the opening track "The Eerie Cold" to the haunting closing number "Endless Solitude", Shining's musicianship and songwriting prowess are evident. The album is marked by its dynamic shifts in tone and tempo, as well as its use of unconventional instruments such as saxophones and clarinets.
The vocals, delivered by frontman Jørgen Munkeby, are equally impressive. Munkeby's range and versatility are showcased on tracks such as "In The Kingdom Of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster" and "The Madness And The Damage Done", where his screams and growls are juxtaposed with clean singing and spoken word passages.
