Diablo Swing Orchestra do not care. Though, calling DSO a metal band would be like calling\u00a0something made up of a lot parts only one of those parts (I&#8217;ll take that Pultizer now). The Swedish octet are just as much classical, jazz, opera, Latin swing, samba and whatever-the-hell-they-feel-like-today as they are metal. On paper, it sounds ridiculous. In music, it also sounds ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Now apparently they&#8217;ve all got disco fever.

She&#8217;s got a nice, poppy voice and it&#8217;s likely to be more accessible, but I do find myself missing Annlouice&#8217;s classical skill. I&#8217;ve always enjoyed when guitarist Daniel\u00a0H\u00e5kansson pitches in in the vocal department, too. I wonder why he&#8217;s being so quiet.<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0I dug it.
