THE MOUNT FUJI DOOMJAZZ CORPORATION

Doomjazz Future Corpses!
(Ad Noiseam)


 

This is an impenetrable work of drone and implicit heaviness. A full solid barrage of invisible metal. A great excuse to get away from guitar oriented rock. A subversive proposition of extended one notes and direct blankets over your head. A monochromatic work with variable hues of sepia toned sensibilities.  A simplistic approach to tickling your innards. A subtle, delicate and harmful soundtrack to a movie that doesn’t exist. The invariable work of organic sounds and its results on our psyches. A slug paced auditory experience as willing to do nothing as to flirt with you until falling in trance mode. A sci fi trip into the anus of your mind and beyond. A work that may require the work of one or many. A work that incorporates the word jazz into its constitution, yet its only similarity with the genre is its free-wheeling spirit.

 

Recorded in February of 2007 in the libertarian city of Amsterdam, Doomjazz Future Corpses! is the first work by Jason Kohnen and Giedon Kiers outside their main gig The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. Recorded in a live mode, this is the type of work that shall be classified side to side of the most acerbic work of drone masters Sunno))). As it stands, the sounds are ethereal and for the better part of it it’s pretty distanced from bastard rock music. Deep inside, more than halfway through this nightmarish journey, a dense guitar sound makes its entrance. The album is never the same; an impending sense of doom supercedes most of the eerie and quiet calm that radiates through most of Doomjazz Future Corpses! and from then on, things turn dark and cavernous. Like most drone and doom or doomdrone, this is for a select few.
