Thereâs not enough circus metal. It is fundamentally a bit goofy, but performed correctly itâs one of the most irresistible concoctions the metal world produces, perfectly mating the technical with the catchy. Genre junkies like me rely on a clutch of specialized bands for consistent output, and with the 2015 demise of Unexpect, arguably the fieldâs greatest artist, we were left with one fewer reliable supplier. Mercifully, this relative drought will be alleviated on December 8, 2017 by none other than the genreâs foremost representative. Swedenâs swing metal maestros Diablo Swing Orchestra or DSO, will release their new album âPacifisticuffsâ on that date, under Candlelight and Spinefarm Records.[1] Originally, DSO had sustained fans with the tantalizing âJigsaw hustleâ, which they described as âABBA-klezmer-funk with a twist of lemonâ in a surprisingly accurate bit of copy. The integration of disco with metal is an amusing juxtaposition given the extraordinary public hatred evinced toward disco in the late 70âs, particularly by rock fans. As usual, metal works well in genre fusion owing to its flexibility, and this track was no exception. Snappy production posed no hindrance for a band imitating a genre inherently associated with panache. Furthermore, it helped differentiate DSOâs upcoming work from the previous material. The first two albums, âThe Butcherâs Ballroomâ and âSing-Along Songs For the Damned and Deliriousâ, largely took from a swing and opera canon with violin flourishes. The following âPandoraâs Pinataâ broadened this focus while keeping its basic foundations â giving their swing a cabaret focus while moving more into funk and groove. One visual theme of the album, evident both in the cover art and the bandâs Facebook post, on Dec. 12, 2016, is âgnarly geometryâ.[2] Both the shirt and album cover feature figures deriving from an angular and three-sided basis. This, in combination with the color palette â bloom-heavy shades of purple and magenta â may suggest slicker production. It could also feasibly suggest djent influences. The recording process has seen the use of brass[3], strings[4], choir[5] and piano[6]. The band have also abandoned their flamboyant opera-styled female vocalist Annlouice Lögdlund with Kristin EvegĂ„rd, who employs a looser style more in keeping with the swoopy vernacular of cabaret rather than operaâs arch soprano. The band will issue two singles, before the album release: âKnucklehugsâ on November 3 and âThe Age of Vulture Cultureâ on December 1. "Pacifisticuffs" track listing: 01. Knucklehugs (Arm Yourself With Love) 02. The Age Of Vulture Culture 03. Superhero Jagganath 04. Vision Of The Purblind 05. Lady Clandestine Chainbreaker 06. Jigsaw Hustle 07. Pulse Of The Incipient 08. Ode To The Innocent 09. Interruption 10. Cul-De-Sac Semantics 11. Karma Bonfire 12. Climbing The Eyeball 13.
