The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation

Experimental Jazz Ensemble

The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation is an experimental jazz band known for its atmospheric blend of doom metal and jazz. It is an improvisational spin-off project from The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, which was formed by Jason Köhnen and Gideon Kiers, both graduates of the Utrecht School of the Arts in the Netherlands. The group's music is characterized by its dark, cinematic qualities, combining elements of drone, ambient, and electronic music with jazz. They have been active since the mid-2000s and have garnered a niche following for their moody, improvisational live recordings and performances. Their work often features long tracks with slow-building progressions, creating immersive soundscapes that have contributed to their unique position within the experimental music scene.
