Diablo Swing Orchestra
Diablo Swing Orchestra is a Swedish metal band from Stockholm. The band was formed in 2003.
The origin of the name of the band is related on their website. The tongue-in-cheek back-story recounts a historically questionable ancestral story beginning in 16th century Sweden. Supposedly, ancestors of the band members performed orchestral works in defiance of the ruling church at the time (possibly in reference to the newly installed protestant Lutheran national church, in power during the mid and late 16th century).

Supposedly, ancestors of the band members performed orchestral works in defiance of the ruling church at the time (possibly in reference to the newly installed protestant Lutheran national church, in power during the mid and late 16th century). The orchestra was forced to go into hiding, performing in secret, with the assistance of oppressed peasants during the era. After years of performing for the pleasure of these peasants, the story claims that the church put a bounty on the performers' lives, and that this bounty was so high that the orchestra knew they would soon be captured, and thus chose to play a spectacular final show before becoming martyred to the church.

This is the most fascinating mix of genres I ever heard. Opera, swing and rock? Damn.

@Sheldon Alberto An odd thing to say considering the fact that no avant garde metal band sounds similar. Kind of the point of being avant garde.

This, my friend, is avant garde metal 🤟

I recommended this to my dad, he’s 66. The heart attack was totally worth it...so he tells me.

'My fault, behold the sign,
Worthless body, in the presence of God,
Keep the faith,
Ladder of heaven, glory to the Father, peace and good
Without a care, go with me,
Cause of war, freak of nature
That day, like the moon, give them virtue'

Everyone hating on the opera parts. Smh. The part where she goes ham in the middle and you hear the glass crack. 👌 It gets me every time. So unique and robust.
Very deserving of a name like Balrog Boogie.
