With Gorguts, keep in mind their early stuff is traditional DM but their later stuff is where they got weird...
Anyways, I forgot Painkiller. Painkiller is John Zorn on sax/some vox, Bill Laswell on bass, and Mick Harris on drums & some programing. I'm not familiar with Bill Laswell, but John Zorn brings his saxophone, and Mick Harris - ex Napalm Death - brings his Grindcore and Dub inclinations to the fold. "Guts of a Virgin" is my favorite album by them.

Biggest problem I have with them is the guitar tone (hard to carry over a distorted metal tone into expressive jazz) and it's lacking in the keyboard department.

Eh, I like a lot of old school metal, so I tend to look past the instruments being used and to how they're being used. Further, I think if a band can recreate a jazz experience using the same instruments Chuck Berry used.... well, that's all the more amazing.
