In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster is an album by the Norwegian band Shining.

The title is taken from a line in Milan Kundera's novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

It is the last album with the band's original lineup, as keyboardist Morten Qvenild would leave before the release, and bassist Aslak Hartberg shortly after.

"Goretex Weather Report" probably refers to the band Weather Report, "REDRUM" is a repeated line in The Shining, a part in "Romani" is very inspired by a part in Gustav Mahler's 6th symphony, "Perdurabo" was Aleister Crowley's magical pseudonym in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, "Aleister Explains Everything" refers Crowley as well, the numbers in the title of track six (31=300=20) is a Gematria reference (Shin), "It is by Will Alone I Set My Mind in Motion" is a line (more exactly a Mentat Mantra) from the movie Dune, "Where Death Comes to Cry" is a phrase in Leonard Cohen's song "I'm Your Man" and "The Smoking Dog" is a poem by Aleister Crowley from The Book of Lies.

The final track, "You Can Try the Best You Can", may be a reference to Radiohead, the title in fact being a lyric from the song "Optimistic", found on the album Kid A.
