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).

These are mostly jazz-metal:

Fugu Quintet's ‘Sisyphus’ — doom-jazz

Mr. Bungle — funk/alt metal

Le Scrawl — jazzcore / skagrind, they have a bunch of live videos on YouTube and iirc a few short albums on Bandcamp

Zu: e.g. ‘Carboniferous’ — prog/noise-rock, with plenty of sax

Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects' ‘Sol Niger Within’ seems to have a sax on ‘Cosmic Vagina Dentata Organ’, ‘Z2-Reticuli’, and ‘Solarization’. Though another release has these credits for sax shifted one track back, for some reason.

Ruins the prog-noise-rock band apparently had a saxophonist on ‘Ruins + 梅津和時’ (with Kazutoki Umezu), and also played with Zorn on some releases, but idk which ones.

Shining (the Norwegian one) — might be the closest to what you want

The Flying Luttenbachers use saxes among other stuff

Mamaleek had a sax on ‘Come and See’ (album release here), but it's not heard much

    They need the link.

    Also, Weasel Walter played with Behold The Arctopus for one album (Horrorscension)

    BTA doesn't have any sax, but as you can tell, I like them.

    I haven't properly listened to The Flying Luttenbachers before. But a few tracks from the linked album are kinda in Zorn's spirit.

    ... but you recommended them? Either way, they're obviously up your alley based on the cool stuff you post

    I've heard of them in my jazz-metal searches, but never properly listened through their discography. For better or worse, my to-listen queue also has around two thousand records and/or artists (in large part due to me having lost all my collection previously thanks to a hard drive failure).
