Bohren & der Club of Gore

From heavy metal to hardcore to jazz and ambient: Bohren & der Club of Gore’s musical evolution is likely quite unique. Since 1988, the trio from Mülheim an der Ruhr has been creating instrumental horror soundtracks. Or as they call it: “doom-ridden jazz music,” “detective jazz,” or, alternatively, “boring instrumental music.” We say: no one knows how Bohren & der Club of Gore manage to build meditative, ethereal soundscapes that skim the edge of complete stillness. Menacing yet full of beauty, tenacious and full of tension at the same time. On darkened stages, the music is stripped down to its absolute essence—not a single note too many, no distracting stage show—but always with a dash of humor to boot. You should experience a Bohren performance at least once in your life.
