1) Diablo was born in the late 1990s in Finland. They recorded it´s first mini-album "Princess" catching a record deal with Poko Rekords. The first album Elegance in Black was released in 2000 and was described as a powerful punch in the face.
In 2002 after releasing the second album Renaissance, which went straight to number 14 on the Finnish Top 40, Diablo played gigs on several summer festivals. Most important of them was the internationally known Tuska-festival in Helsinki. The band also made a video of the album's opening track Angel. Diablo took a strong place in the Finnish metal music scene with these two albums.
The expectations for the third album increased to a high level when the release date got closer. The hype around the band was enormous. And just before the third album´s release, Finnish most popular music show "Levyraati" broadcasted their brand new video of the song Read My Scars, also released as a single (staying nine weeks on the single chart, topping at number three). The video got so much feedback that even the grannies knew the group after that!
"Diablo“ that hails in the names of Testament, Slayer and Death- released it's third album Eternium on the 19th of January 2004. It went straight to number 3 on the chart, staying for eight weeks on the Finnish Top 40. The band got awesome media interest. Most of the gigs were sold out and the forthcoming summer seems to be a busy time for the group. Diablo, Finland's brightest metal hope, is known as a super live act, capable of producing their enormous roar also on stage.
Their fourth album, Mimic47 was released 18.1.2006. Album went first on the chart directly.

Formed by young occult fanatics Morrison Uchida and Eldritch Yokoyama, they released one known demo titled "Huling Sumpa" in 1975 and played a few shocking gigs before vanishing into obscurity. Some say that Morrison Uchida was arrested and sentenced to life in prison in 1981 or 1982 for killing three people and critically wounding eight others at a bar.

Diablo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
You're a teaser, you turn `em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
Dig in the Dancing Queen
Dig in the Dancing Queen
Dig in the Dancing Queen
The lyrics to ABBA's song "Dancing Queen," as interpreted by Diablo, speak to the experience of being a teenager, full of energy and excitement, and in search of a good time. The song's vivid imagery and upbeat tempo convey a sense of youthful exuberance and joy that is infectious and uplifting. The opening lyrics, "You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life," set the tone for the rest of the song, which revolves around the theme of dancing and enjoying oneself. The lyrics also suggest that anyone can be a part of the fun, regardless of their status or appearance, as long as they are willing to join in and let loose.
The second verse reinforces the idea of the importance of good music in setting the mood for a night of dancing and fun. The reference to "looking out for a King" implies that the dance floor is a place of potential romance and excitement. The lyrics "With a bit of rock music, everything is fine" suggest that the power of music can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, and that the sensation of dancing to an awesome beat can be truly transcendent.
The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "Dancing Queen," reinforces the sense of celebration and excitement conveyed in the rest of the lyrics. It also emphasizes the importance of being young and free, with the youthful vigor and energy to dance the night away. The final repetition of "Dig in the Dancing Queen" serves as a kind of rallying cry, urging listeners to join in the fun and let themselves go.

They started out as the Diablo Bros, with just the two guitars, both harmonies, and a programmable drum machine. All three of their albums are amazing as “Diablo.”
