Jan. 2nd, 2011 01:47 pmEamonn Fetherston's rec of Shining's "Madness and the Damage Done":
Before this year, I had little to no interest in black metal. Within the past few months, however, Norway's Shining (along with San Francisco's Ludicra) have given me cause to reconsider my initial dismissal. "Madness and the Damage Done" balances Shining's caustic and wildly experimental approach with a relentless and surprisingly catchy groove. If other bands out there are better at making guitars sound like they're full of dying circuit boards and battery acid, I haven't found them yet.
So I had to look it up. And yes.
Also: It's T.I. time.
