Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany (1992 – present)
Bohren & der Club of Gore are a noir jazz band founded in 1992 in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany by Thorsten Benning (drums), Morten Gass (keys), Reiner Henseleit (guitar), and Robin Rodenberg (upright / double bass). They play a crossover of jazz and ambient, which they self described as an “unholy ambient mixture of slow jazz ballads, Black Sabbath doom and down tuned Autopsy sounds”. Over the years they have continously reduced and compressed their music to extremes.
Originally, the members of Bohren, who were school friends, started out playing in various hardcore bands such as 7 Inch Boots and Chronical Diarrhoea in 1988. Driven by the idea of a more unique style of music, they formed Bohren (German word for drilling) in 1992 to play, as they called it, „doom ridden jazz music“. In 1993 the band released a 7“ep for Suggestion Records. 1993 also saw the band expand their name to Bohren & der Club of Gore, as a link to the Dutch instrumental band Gore, which inspired Bohren to play instrumental music. 1994 followed the longplayers Gore Motel and the double set Midnight Radio (1995), both on Epistrophy Records, where Bohren introduced its musical vision between slow jazz- ballads and doom-guitars.
Henseleit left the band in 1996 and was replaced by Christoph Clöser, a Cologne-based composer and musician in 1997, replacing the guitar with a saxophone at the same time.

Mitleid Lady is actually one of the best releases of this year. It may be only be one 10 minute track, but it is 10 minutes of some of the most heartfelt music I've ever heard. One of Bohren's best pieces. It needs more love.

In finland: Sun sets around 3:30pm but during it's short stay on the sky it really never penetrates the heavy clouds that occupy the areas above the horizon. There's no snow on the ground, so so it's bare and black. The street lights are bleakly glowing orange, spewing light only to be swallowed by the blackness of the asphalt. And I, sitting alone at my home, staring out from the window and seeing all this. Bohren time, indeed.

GenocideGod: I felt the same way when I found them about a year ago now. However, you should check out Miles Davis soundtrack for "Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud" (Elevator to the gallows) if you haven't already, great noir-jazz, from the past. It's the soundtrack to a noir-film, so.. yeah. Haha. Enjoy!

I'm in complete awe. I've been searching for this kind of music for years, and I can't believe it actually exists. I was looking in the past and settling for people like Chet Baker, when I should've been looking in the present. I had a vision of the music that should follow along while watching Noir films and related material. That unique atmosphere which has such a heavy grasp on my being. I set out in search for it. Now I've actually found it. Kicking myself for being such a puritan and believing it could only be found in the past.
