The Butcher's Ballroom

by Diablo Swing Orchestra

The Butcher's Ballroom cover art

This debut record introduces the Swedish ensemble's highly eccentric fusion of heavy metal, classical opera, and 1920s swing jazz. The theatrical arrangements feature prominent cello, brass, and operatic female vocals set against driving, distorted guitars. It represents one of the most uniquely ambitious crossover projects in modern experimental metal.
