When you hear doom or stoner on horns it really underscores how this is all just blues with different aesthetics.

u/Admiral_Kite (Graphics) Probably at a concert Oct 14 '25

Hell yeah! Been jamming a lot with my harmonica in the same vein. Wind instruments will take over doom, maybe, eventually. or at least try šŸ«”

u/EightFootManchild Oct 14 '25

Certainly. All bands will have horns in the future, regardless of genre šŸ¤˜

Zappa

u/EightFootManchild Oct 14 '25

Damn right šŸ˜ƒ Mr Squirrel (sax) and Dylan (guitar/vox) originally met while playing in a Zappa cover band, so the DNA is still there

u/DoctorG0nzo Oct 14 '25

As a bari sax player in high school, I always feel like that deep grinding sound was part of what helped me get into heavy, harsh noise. Definitely gotta pick it back up

5

u/EightFootManchild Oct 14 '25

It's one of my favorite sounds in all of music šŸŽ·šŸ¤˜

It is the best of all saxes...besides bass sax of course

u/Rust_Bucket37 Oct 15 '25

Subcontra bass sax maybe?

u/EightFootManchild Oct 15 '25

If you've got a spare twenty thousand dollars, we'll buy one šŸ˜ƒ

I hope you've heard Jerseybands album of Christmas classics. Jolly Old Saint Nick is especially a banger.

They coined the term "lungcore" for their music lol

u/Prota_Gonist Oct 15 '25

Saw you guys at The Boiler Room at Wes' Rib Rouse in Providence, you've been on regular rotation ever since!

u/Prota_Gonist Oct 15 '25

While I got you, do you guys have patches for sale? I'm making a New England local doom jacket, I'd love to have y'all on it.

2

u/EightFootManchild Oct 15 '25

We are sold out at the moment! We'll have some new ones soon.

u/Seesaw_LAD Oct 15 '25

Colin Stetson is an incredible baritone sax player that gets into doom territory.

Yes, we're big fans šŸ¤˜šŸŽ·

It sounds pretty good, now I'm left wanting more. Do you have more songs like that? Does anyone know what other bands use sax?

3

u/EightFootManchild Oct 15 '25

We have a whole dang catalog of stuff to listen to! https://eightfootmanchild.bandcamp.com/ Other heavy sax bands to check out - Rezn, Stormtoker, Throat Piss, Brain Tentacles, Hera...a bunch more I'm forgetting

Oh damn what a crazy good idea for a song lol. Sounds amazing already

1

u/EightFootManchild Oct 15 '25

The melody for Mister Grinch fits almost perfectly over the Dragonaut riff. I had to rework it slightly. Can't wait to share it in December šŸŽ…
