According to a press release, over their ten years impressive career, Shing have created their own unique and bizarre hybrid of jazz and extreme metal, which is easily distinguishable from the musical world of their Swedish fellow labelmates sharing the same band name (SHINING HALMSTAD).
Jørgen Munkeby comments: "After ten merciless years and four ground-breaking and critically acclaimed albums, our sound is more punishing and extreme than ever before, and our fan-base bigger than ever. For Blackjazz, we needed a label that would match our aggressiveness, along with our taste for catchiness. We needed people who shared our dedication to music and art, along with our ambitions of reaching a vast number of people, a label that would match our constantly growing numbers of fans worldwide and the ever expanding interest for our musical mission. Indie Recordings is the perfect match for Blackjazz! Their knowledge of the music industry is as immense as their love for good music. It will be a great pleasure to be working with this marvelous and ambitious label in the future!"
