ICP have been putting out successful albums and attracting new fans for over 15 years, over the course of their JOKERS CARD saga, numerous EPs and side projects, and well-received solo efforts from each member. THE SHINING isn't just the newest Insane Clown effort; it's a new and revealing chapter in their legacy. It focuses on the fascinating characters of Violent J: both a member of ICPs ruthless, relentless Dark Carnival and as the all-to-human writer / rapper behind the paint, Joe Bruce. The record ranges from deeply personal to dementedly escapist and it doesn't hold back a bit. It's so intense, it shines.
