* * * * * Afformance – A Glimpse To The Days That Pass * * * * *

In April 2005 John, CV and Petros formed Afformance. Instrumental soundscapes inspired by post rock, alternative, ambient and postcore scenes, began to take form.

Sometime later Dennis and Fotis completed the line-up and the band started to rehearse, record and work on their own music.

~~~~~~~~~~~ ( GOODNESS… they make it sound so easy… 1st there was this guy then he meet up with someone else, few rehersal and practice sessions over a couple of beer and

BANG this AWESOME sound evolves.

Wow… I wish it was that easy though, to creates and write sound that is so perfectly crafted as ” Afformance ” itself.

Conforming absolutely to the description of a particular type resulting to ” melodic and harmonic ” that exist between tonalities and which will most intricately forces one to lay back and eyes close.

* * * * * The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation – Succubus * * * * *

The Netherlands [ 2000 – present ]

The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation is the experimental Ambient/Noise/Drone/Jazz alter ego of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, the self-acclaimed “mutant jazz” band formed in 2000 by Jason Kohnen (aka Bong-Ra) and Gideon 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.

Recorded 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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ( And since I got up with a 5 stars mindset thought it might be the right time to stick this one up here once and for all.

” The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation ” IS NOT a sound to ignore. their 2007 title ” Doomjazz Future Corpses! ] is in demand. Anyone… [ Last.fm ]. ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amplifier – Amplifier

Manchester, United Kingdom (1999 – present)

Amplifier are best known for their trademark massive live wall-of-distortion which is conjoured out of multiple amps and many many effects pedals. Their music is often described as progressive rock, psychedelic rock, post classic rock, melodic rock, stoner rock and mega rock

A quick history of the band would be thus: Proto-Amplifier formed in 1998, but did their first gig on 4th May 1999 at Manchester’s Band On The Wall.

After some years and many many gigs, and equally as many floors that were slept upon and miles travelled in their trusty and rusty white transit van, they signed a record deal with Music For Nations, the stalwart indie rock label that housed such names as Metallica, Slayer, Tool, Frank Zappa, err… Bowling For Soup.

They recorded their eponymously titled album in 2003, which came out in the UK in 2004, with a very very very limited run in Europe that year also. The album came out to tremendous press and a Kerrang awards best new band nomination.

Unfortunately, the same week as the records release the label MFN was dissolved in a business merger between Zomba, the label’s parent company and giant corporate behemouth Sony/BMG.

The band spent about year trying to get out of the clutches of their new masters, before buying their freedom in an act of artistic manumission which is called an “override” deal. Trust me, if you’re in a band – you don’t want to hear this phrase.

The band members are:

Neil Mahony – Bass
Matt Brobin – Drums
Sel Balamir – Guitar/Vocals
