Norwegian blackjazz band Shining are streaming their new single, “Last Day”, from International Blackjazz Society, their upcoming full-length album, due out on October 16th. International Blackjazz Society is the band’s first release through Spinefarm Records, with whom they have signed a worldwide deal.

"'Last Day' is a very driving track that is shaping up to become one of our favorite songs to play live," Shining frontman Jørgen Munkeby said. "The few times we've played in live, the audiences have gone wild. It's a true tribute to '90s industrial rock, but still with a flair signature SHINING sax madness to spice it up."

Just as Venom created Black Metal in the early ’80s, so Shining can proudly put their name to Blackjazz – also the title of their 2010 album, a Top 10 record in Norway. Following Blackjazz came the excellent One One One (2013), and now it’s time for studio album number seven; as with Blackjazz and One One One, International Blackjazz Society has been mixed by Sean Beavan (Depeche Mode, A Perfect Circle, Slayer, etc.), and mastered in Los Angeles by Tom Baker (Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Beastie Boys, etc.).

A live video clip for “The Last Stand” can be seen below. “The Last Stand” is available for instant download upon digital pre-order of International Blackjazz Society. Album pre-orders – including official merch bundles offering CD, vinyl, T-shirt & patch options – are now live at this location.

In addition to this, Shining have announced a headline European tour, taking in 15 countries, set to take place in October/November this year. The band’s live itinerary can be found at this location.
