Alright here's your band: Yakuza. They opened up for Mastodon a few weeks back. Which IMO Mastodon's 'Remission' deserves album of the year !! Actually the headliner was Dillinger Escape Plan - don't understand what all the fuss is about this band. Avant noise jazz shit is what I call it. Just because they play crazy guitar rythyms tinged with jazz with a screaming banshee on vocals doesn't make 'em talented.

On the other hand I was impressed with what I saw from Yakuza. Only caught the last 15 minutes of their set. A pair of sax on the stage backed by a killer band. I don't know how they did it, but it worked. I definitely recommend 'em!

Here's a link to their site:

Good album.

Fluerety is excellent...

Maudlin of the well has brass instruments..

And Mr. Bungle is amazing... Not overrated in any way...

Listen to the song "Carry Stress In The Jaw"

best jazz/metal combionation ever...

I can't believe no one's mentioned Candiria, yet. They're like a mix of hardcore, metal, jazz, and hip-hop. They have a trumpet player. Very cool stuff, and each genre they mix is done tastefully.

I like them.

oh yeah, candiria are close to "real jazz metal", with horns and stuff. They have a jazz side project called "Ghosts in the Canal", which is more of an ambient avant jazz style.

I would like it to be known that Ephel Duath give me an erection.

Thank you.

Candiria's interesting. They seem to have a lot of label issues though don't they? They aren't on CM anymore I don't think.

Side note about them -- a guy I knew in college played piano on one of their earlier albums.. I think it was piano (it's been awhile) That's how I first heard of the band like 3 years ago.. I should get some of their stuff aside from just mp3s.

oh yeah, for metal with horns check out Maudlin of the Well.

Gotta love the midsection of They Aren't All Beautiful...can you imagine atonal brass appearing unexpectedly in an Opeth composition?
