title is what i’m looking for. not looking for anything overtly jazzy like john zorn (though i wouldn’t mind jazzy metal recs), more like how full of hell has used horns in a few of their tracks (such as high fells).
Metal only in spirit but no guitars: Bohren and der Club of Gore. ]
In 1992 they produced a crossover of jazz and ambient, which they self-described as an “unholy ambient mixture of slow jazz ballads, Black Sabbath doom and down-tuned Autopsy sounds”
Also for some jazz metal with Zorn-esque sax, I’d suggest Trioscapes :

I’m glad there’s been lots of stuff I would have recommended in this thread. My rec is Estradsphere, they did a ton of this kind of stuff :

As Shining (nor) was already mentioned, try things with Jorgen Munkeby, like Meathook with Marty Friedman
Weird ass thrash track that might just fit the bill: Demoniac - Extraviado
Debut album from EX EYE, the instrumental, post-everything quartet led by renowned saxophonist Colin Stetson and featuring the otherworldly drumming of Greg Fox. EX EYE seamlessly weave between precise, clockwork intricacy and aggressive, ecstatic abandon while taking the listener on a cathartic, thrilling journey to total transcendence.
I hesitate to say these guys are exactly those subgenres of metal, but this is a subgenre of metal with saxophone and it’s damn good in my opinion. Heavy 80’s/90’s aesthetics to match. This song is what turned me onto them. “Dreamwake - Memories”https://youtu.be/Cq8p0pDKTKA
White Ward? I don’t think they’re fashy… ?
Two professionally trained jazz musicians who have a side gig playing metal.
Punk, not metal but NoFX uses bassoon in their song “Thr Decline.” Its a 20 minute ode to how fucked up America is. Was relevant when written 25 years ago, still relevant today.
Does Clown Core count?
Clown core always counts 🤘🤡🤘
For shame you did not link to the albums, I bet you’re a calzone lover.
Sorry my lord, here you go.
I linked to toilet visual album and Van visual album below lol.
Maybe this: Ashenspire
This is strictly jazz metal, but they have some sax:
The mood is pretty amazing. I’d recommend finding some streaming with better quality though.
Check out Where Owls Know My Name by Rivers of Nihil for some tasteful saxophone use.
If you like a bit of humour in your grindcore, I’d recommend Excrementory Grindfuckers.
They’re pretty fun live.
More on the core side, check out Shrezzers. Their song Libertad might fit.
