Diablo Swing Orchestra

DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRA
The Butcher's Ballroom (2006)


Looking around myspace I found this very interesting project from the Swedish avant-garde metal band Diablo Swing Orchestra and I was very impressed by the few tracks I could listen to. Now I have the entire album and it is really worth buying! It is a mixture of many kinds of music and still a truly original sound. Even the story behind the band draws your attention. They claim to be the descendants of the members of a 16th century orchestra in Sweden the Devils Orchestra, that was persecuted by the church at the time for playing orchestral pieces in defiance of their authority. Fiction or reality, it gives the band a catching, mysterious aspect. You can read the whole story in their website.
Even tough they started in 2003 this is their first full-length album. I hope they produce many more like this one or better!

1. Ballrog Boogie
