What if heavy metal was played on instruments made of heavy metal? We don’t use giant amps and distortion, instead we have a wall of brass! 


Heavy Metal Brass Band plays metal classics as well as the headbangers of today. We strive to be genre-bending with inspiration from classical, Balkan folk music, and alternative rock. Not a metal fan? You will absolutely find something to love about this symphony of brass music.

Who we are:

Heavy Metal Brass Band was started in California with the goal of shaking up the metal paradigm, yet keeping the intensity and introducing a brand new instrumentation to the genre. After the pandemic, the band was reformed in the heartland of metal, the midwest. The band consists of vocals, drums, tuba, 2 saxophones, 3 trombones, and 2 trumpets, and multi-brasstrumentalist, Shane Cox. 

The band’s debut album was released in 2025.
