Jeremiah Cymerman, Clarinetist of Doom Metal 

Source: Bandcamp Daily.

The opening line of Thomas Pynchon’s novel Gravity’s Rainbow is also the opening sound on the opening track on Sheen, the first album from Bloodmist—with Jeremiah Cymerman’s clarinet keys clattering in the aftermath. Bloodmist is an improvisational, electro-acoustic doom metal (or free doom jazz) trio of bassist Toby Driver; Mario Diaz de Leon (a composer who has written music for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the International Contemporary Ensemble) wielding synthesizers and drum machines; and clarinetist Cymerman.
