SAX METAL (Ihsahn)

[Carpe Mortem]

I finally checked out Ihsahn of Emperor's solo project and goddamn, I am totally in love with the trilogy. Its the first time I've heard saxophone in metal. And its done very fucking well.

If anyone knows any others, please let me know. PLEASE. Let me know.

Also general Ihsahn fanboyism encouraged. Top five modern musicians, hands down. Seems like a cool dude too, I read an interview while seeking his solo music about his take on Helvete.

Ihsahn is lame. Some melodies on Rotting Christ"s "Non Serviam" album that sounds like it could belong in a 90s porno. Check that shit out.

Sigh uses a saxophone.

Excuse me sir.... but Rotting Christ is most assuredly ten times lamer than Ihsahn. I've heard one song ever that I liked.

However I will look into that shit.

Are you sure that's a saxaphone? Sounds like that thing I don't remember the name of that's used in a lot of middle eastern music.

Either way, not bad. Great song in theory but it just got so damn repetitive.

Avant Garde bands have a tendency to use the saxophone quite a bit.





My band uses saxophone as well if you're interested to hear.

I liked Solefald and Yakuza, although Yakuza's vocals got a little chaotic for my tastes. Let's hear some shameless promotion of your band dude!

Alright so this one's more prog rock than metal, but it sports the heaviest use of saxophones on all of our material (3 different octaves of dat sax, and a solo by my drummer, who's our lead sax man):



This one showcases more of our standard fare, with sax and flute harmonies, and more extreme metal:

There's a saxophone solo type thing in a Nachtmystium song. I think it's "Seasick Part III". Anyway, it almost made me puke because I hate the saxophone for the most part. But, you might like it.

This is the ONLY Seasick (for obvious reasons):

I gotta be honest... I'm not a fan of female vocals, in general, in almost all music, unless it's a Janis Joplin or Amy Winehouse kind of thing. I really dug the instrumental bits though.

Crazy you brought these guys up, I actually just heard a song by them the other day that I really liked. No idea how I came across them, or what the name of the song was, but I remember laughing and feeling like I had to look into them more.

Gotta say that clip was awful though.
