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-inch 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.

During almost every Bohren album, there is a slightly vibrating dark sound in the background. What instrument is that? If someone knows, please leave a shout on my profile. Thanks.
