 2005 saw a complete transformation of Shining's music with the release of their third album, "In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster", where progressive rock and metal were blended in with the experimental jazz heard on "Sweet Shanghai Devil".Munkeby's woodwind instruments were accompanied by the Akai EWI, electric guitars and synthesizers, and Aslak Hartberg's double bass was largely replaced by electric bass.Drum machines were also used on the album, as well as a wide range of less common instruments such as the accordion, harmonium, church organ, clavinet and celesta.
