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).

Schrödinger's Catwalk (The Quantum Vogue)
- Mastered by mixea.com
Schrödinger's Catwalk (The Quantum Vogue) — Folk metal crashing into a big band. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as a panic attack.
It's the first single from Cortical Circus, a 23-track concept album where every song is a different psychological condition told from the inside, each one built on a different genre fusion: swing metal with reggae, bolero, doom, Motown, klezmer.
Third album of the project. Velvet Pendulum is theatrical big band metal in the vein of Diablo Swing Orchestra and Mr. Bungle.
Curious what you make of the transitions — the folk-to-metal jumps were the hardest part to get right.more
