Another kind of person, find another truth
I know these words all too well:
By yourself, no one else, never break the spell!

Diablo Swing Orchestra - The Butcher's Ballroom

Red eyes only, the floor comes closer
A kiss that bruises a skin so frail
Iron taste tongue, rage polluted the veins so furious
With a mouth that will never tell.














Artist: Diablo Swing Orchestra
Album: The Butcher's Ballroom (2006)
Genre: Avant-Garde Metal
Official Site: http://www.diabloswing.com/

Diablo Swing Orchestra formed in 2003 are from Sweden and, though not really an orchestra, incorporate female vocals, as well as a cello, into their music. They play a very strange kind of metal that can only be referred to as avant-garde. DSO is supposedly formed from the descendants of a troupe that played music in defiance to the ruling church during the 16th century in Sweden. The troupe played underground until they were discovered and decided to play one grand final show before being martyred to the church. DSO's eclectic playing style is quite unique, and if you're a fan of the strange, then DSO is for you. This is DSO's only full release so far, The Butcher's Ballroom.

This album was requested by The Stormbeard Guild's own Keeper of the Seven Keys.

Tracklist:
1. Balrog Boogie - (3:53)
2. Heroines - (5:23)
3. Poetic Pitbull Revolutions - (4:52)

Hammerfall - Crimson Thunder

We are the voices in the dark
Inside the fire we are the
Eternal Spark that will guide the way














Artist: Hammerfall
Album: Crimson Thunder (2002)
Genre: Power Metal
Official Site: http://www.hammerfall.net/

Hammerfall, the wildly popular Power Metal band from Sweden, formed in 1993 when Oscar Dronjak split from Ceremonial Oath to start his own band. After going through many line-up changes (including members from bands such as In Flames and Dark Tranquility), the group settled on the one that would bring one of their best albums, Crimson Thunder. Hammerfall toured with groups such as DIO in North America and the likes of Iron Maiden, Slayer and Stratovarius in Europe. A music video was also made for the single, Hearts on Fire. This album is definately a Power Metal must-have.
