Diablo Swing Orchestra



Seriously demented music here for the adventurous. A mad band from Scandanavia (it must be the climate) they combine elements of Tim Burton and Danny Elfman soundtracks with heavy metal riffing all overlaid with a Kate Bush like soprano. I can also here some trad jazz elements and the occasional Tijuana Band flourishes (seriously!).

I personally love it, although I've heard only a couple of tunes so far I'm sold. Sort of reminds me of a surf/death metal/country folk band called the Reventlos although the Diablo's take it to another level.

Anyhow I've found a couple of their albums on Avax (in lossless format) so get in quick as they don't usually last long there.

AMG likes them.

Sing a long Songs for the Damned and Delirious (great title).
