Diablo Swing Orchestra sign to Ascendance
March 2, 2009
Ascendance Records is hugely proud to announce the signing of Diablo Swing Orchestra to a worldwide deal.
The unique genre-hopping Swedish sextet has already garnered an ever-growing army of fans on the strength of their self-released debut “The Butcher’s Ballroom” (later licensed to Candlelight Records in Europe and Sonic Cathedral in the US) and their European festival perfomances including MFVF and Summer Breeze.
The new album “Sing-Along Songs for the Damned & Delirious” is tentetively scheduled for a September release. As well as the normal release we will also be producing a strictly limited and numbered boxed version, available by direct mail order only. It will feature an exclusive DVD, a set of postcards, a pewter pendant and a sticker all in an embossed tin box. Full details will be made available closer to release.
The album will be recorded at In Flames studio in Gothenburg under the supervision of producer Roberto Laghi who, besides his work on the latest In Flames effort, has also worked with the likes of Sonic Syndicate, Mustasch and Hardcore Superstar. Recordings will commence on April 6th and will be finished on May 1st. Mixing will be done between the 1st and 12th of June. The band will be posting a studio report at the end of each week on their Myspace site so that you can follow how the recordings are progressing.
The band say that fans of “The Butcher’s Ballroom” will recognize the DSO sound but it has developed into something even more playful and at times far more aggressive than before.
