Review: Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore

Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore
“Black Earth”
(Ipecac)

After creating hardcore in 7 Inch Boots, musicians Morten Gass, Thorsten Benning and Robin Rodenberg turned into an ethereal saxophone quartet creating instrumental jazz of the dark-and-doom variety.  The pulse of this album is the slow heartbeat of the last moments of a lonely murder victim.  The motion is the frozen legs fear of a paralyzing nightmare.  Take the Melvins, strip away the volume and infuse with a classic, cool jazz vibe and Quaaludes and you have Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore.
