Sweden's eclectic metal troupe DIABLO SWING
ORCHESTRA will peak the curiosity of North American masses through the
release of their third full-length, Pandora's Piñata, May 22nd via
Sensory Records, with Candlelight Records handling the album in Europe.
An eclectic mash up of metal, opera, swing jazz, tango, and
spaghetti western soundtrack, the music DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRA creates
is unlike that of any other group on the planet. The message of DSO has
expanded its way through an incredibly devout fanbase developed over years of
infiltrating viral markets dominated by open-minded musical thrill seekers, in
addition to prominent live gigs on several continents over recent years, and
fans of their incredibly unique, technical, ambidextrous groove are eagerly
awaiting the arrival of Pandora's Piñata.
DSO have released a visual trailer for the album
utilizing "Voodoo Mon Amour," the opening track to the maze of Pandora’s
Piñata, the track displaying the obvious and incredible talent of the
outfit.CHECK IT OUT HERE.
The follow-up album to their acclaimed 2009-released Sing
Along Songs For The Damned And Delirious, also released via Sensory, Pandora’s
Piñata finds DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRAexpanded into a massive
eight-piece lineup, with the permanent addition of two horn players. The new
album is a smörgåsbord of different levels of musical insanity building on the foundation
laid down on their previous album. And as always the musical mayhem is fronted
by the glass shattering voice of Annlouice Loegdlund, a metal queen at night but a trained opera
singer by day, her incredibly infectious and professional range setting the
rest of the incredibly layered tunes alive with vibrant flames of originality.
The theme of the album follows the seven cardinal sins that one can imagine
falling out of this like-no-other-audio-visual-piñata. The story is also
followed up in the artwork which as usual has been created by the band’s bass
player Anders Johansson. For the third time the band collaborated with renowned
Swedish illustrator Peter Bergting to create the album cover. Featuring over
fifty minutes of brand new material sure to enlighten, empower, and likely even
confuse the everyday metal fan, Pandora’s Piñata is
undoubtedly an album that most any fan of extreme musical experimentation
should experience.
The upcoming year will find DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRA creating
disturbances on stages around the world, beginning with a tour of Latin America
in May and June with a European trek and much more to follow.
