Metal + Jazz ?

[Jackehh]

come on guys, it's well damn your duty to know that blast beats originates from jazz haha, especially at an opeth forum

1+ to vuashke for enlightening the lot and 1+ for one hell of a bump.

anyone on topic: Is it just me that finds it hilarious roadrunner labels opeth having jazz influences?

First two Sculptured albums.

 

[BefriendedUnit]

The breakdown on Antiproduct by SYL is pretty jazz metally.

 

[Crepuscularia]

Any albums by Naked City.

Features John Zorn and sounds like the musical equivalent of a jazz band being mugged by a grindcore outfit.

What? Blastbeats came from jazz? This is new to me.

I only heard frederick's solo album, and let me tell you that is that I want to play the most.

Diablo Swing Orchestra is not really a metal band, but they are the most eclectic thing I've ever heard. Metal, rock, jazz, opera, Spanish guitar, punk, whatever else shows up.
