Seventh Furnace from Tooth & Claw by Edmund Welles: the bass clarinet quartet
This is in a classic 3-part Edmund Welles composition form. Sabbath-esque riffs, a segment of a Rose Clarinet Etude underscored by metal rhythms, and an ancient Welsh druid style chant to round things out. Seven is the number of purification of the soul by the fires of consciousness.

Edmund Welles has the distinction of being the world’s only original, composing band of four bass clarinetist: they invent and perform heavy chamber music. Drawing virtuosic precision from the classical realm; innovation and texture from jazz; and power, rhythm and overall perspective from rock and metal, the quartet’s sound is characterized by a thickness of tone and absolute rhythmic prowess.
