DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRA Confirm Release Date For New Single "War Painted Valentine"
July 14, 2021, 3 years ago
Swedish avant-garde metallers Diablo Swing Orchestra recorded their forthcoming album, Swagger & Stroll Down The Rabbit Hole, through 2020 but fell silent in January due to "some Covid 19 related setbacks" and therefore weren't able to meet up and complete the record. D:S:O continues to roll out release details, slowly but surely, and have revealed the album will be released this November.
According to a new tease from the band, the first single will be "War Painted Valentine", which they call "a song very well suited for festivals", due for release on August 13th.
D:S:O recently checked in with an update offering up some details of what fans can expect from the album:
"Swagger & Stroll Down the Rabbit Hole is exactly 60 minutes & 50 sec long.
- It contains 13 tracks, no interludes
- Johannes & Martin sing lead vocals on one track each. The rest is shared equally between Kristin & Daniel
- We aim to release 4 singles
- Inspirations are from all over the place. Some familiar to old listeners and some new ones.
- The list of guest musicians is the longest one yet.
- The recording, mixing and mastering took 13 months. If you include pre-production it took 19 months.
- We’re exhausted and extreamly proud of this album
We can’t wait to share it with you guys."
