Diablo Swing Orchestra

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.

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.

Solefald

World I called Yggdrasil, Death I called end of all

Solefald is a Post-Black/Avant-Garde Metal band from Norway formed by Lazare Nedland and Cornelius Jakhellan.

An Icelandic Odyssey is a pair of concept albums that tell the story of Bragi, an Icelandic skald who has an affair with the queen but is accused of raping her and must flee or face execution. On the albums the band has said "Solefald was experimenting when everybody was being true. Now that things are changing and that we've pushed the experiment quite far already, we wanted "Red For Fire + Black For Death" to be our attempts at being true. This will be a true Nordic Viking Metal album."

These albums are excellent. You should listen to them. That is my advice as a doctor.
