The Mount Fuji
Doomjazz Corporation is the new free-form, drone metal /
jazz atler-ego of The
Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, the band formed by Jason
Kohnen (aka Bong-Ra)
and Giedon Kiers. A recording of the ensemble's best live session,
“Doomjazz Future Corpses!” focuses on mesmerizing,
doom-ridden drones and melodies, combined with the jazzy grooves
and melodies of the cello and saxophones. An highly suffocating
journey through the deep realms of murky drone jazz / metal,
heavy and unfettered.
9 tracks, 69 minutes.

Nina Hitz - Cello
Eelco Bosman - Guitar
Jason Kohnen

The Mount Fuji
Doomjazz Corporation is the new alter ego of The
Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, the self-acclaimed “mutant
jazz” band formed in 2000 by Jason Kohnen (aka Bong-Ra)
and Giedon Kiers, and which later evolved into a six-member
piece. Starting with free-form soundtracks to silent films such
as Murnau's “Nosferatu” and Lang's “Metropolis”,
the band gave birth in 2006 to its first eponymous album, released
on Planet Mu.
The downbeat ambient jazz of their first CD was however only
one avatar of this coterie, as demonstrated by the birth of
The Mount Fuji
Doomjazz Corporation. The semi-improvised, dark, heavy,
“sludgy” counterpart to the “ensemble”,
the Corporation leaves all borders behind, focusing this time
on mesmerizing, doom-ridden drones and melodies, combined with
the jazzy grooves and melodies of the cello and saxophones.
Recording live in Amsterdam in February 2007, “Doomjazz
Future Corpses!” is a self-described “soundscape
of barren wastelands, droning into memories of future's past”.
If the “ensemble”'s debut was paying homage to The
Quay Brothers, this album awakens the third, twisted, twin.
A snapshot of the band's free-form sessions, in which there
is no solid structure or time frame but a focus on cataclysmic
improvisation and feeling, this album stands as a captivating
dirge of raw guitar drones, saxophone and trombones emancipated
from their classic jazz boundaries and abysmal bass throbs.
An highly disorientating yet convincing journey through the
deep realms of murky drone jazz / metal, heavy, suffocating
and unfettered.
Recorded live at Overtoom 301, Amsterdam, The Netherlands on
the 24th of February 2007.
