The Diablo Swing Orchestra dates back to 1501 in Sweden, where history tells the tale of an orchestra that played like no other. With music so seductive and divine that the ensemble overwhelmed audiences all over the country, and people from all social classes took them to their hearts. Their performances rapidly earned a reputation of being feral and vigorous and gained the orchestra a devoted crowd that followed them around…

Thy Catafalque’s humble genius Tamás Kátai abandons any and all prenotions of tradition. Intertwining elements from a vast swath of unrelated genres, from jazz to pop to folk, and everything in between, Thy Catafalque masterfully crafts an eclectic sound that breaks down any generic barriers or borders. Following the massive success of 2020’s critically-acclaimed ‘Naiv,’ the entity returns with "Vadak," another esoteric monument in its already storied catalog. At its core, "Vadak" expresses the familiar hallmarks that are unique to only Thy Catafalque, and yet, it is an unpredictable magnum opus, showcasing the latest evolution from Kátai and his esteemed co-conspirators. The album puts forth an elegance that cannot be matched or rivaled by any musical contemporary, taking fans on an adventure that is rife with excitement, drama, and unbridled craftsmanship.

The stark frailty of the human condition is the overall theme running through the veins of KAYO DOT's 10th regular studio album "Moss Grew on the Swords and Plowshares Alike". In the sprawling, churning musical multiverse of mainly multi-instrumentalist Toby Driver's creation that has never accepted nor cared for any artificial borders of genre and incorporated for example rock, metal, classical music, goth, indie, pop, and jazzy structures, this avant-garde album appears to tilt towards a more harsh as well as heavy approach than on some of the previous recordings – and considering its dark and melancholic undertones may be given the epithet doom.

Townsend: "So what is The Puzzle?.. well, its not technically my new record, it's more a collaborative, multimedia art project that acts as a stopgap between Empath and the next record, Lightwork (due out in March of next year on Inside Out Records). The Puzzle includes two 'soundtracks' of sorts (the highly orchestrated 'Puzzle' and the very chill 'Snuggles') along with a film, graphic novel, novel, and a huge amount of multimedia. It includes many artists (upwards of 50) that participated via Zoom during the pandemic and the experience gave me a chance to purge and be completely creatively free. As such, it is a stream of conscious, and very abstract collection of music that includes a narrative (in the form of a film) and is meant to be a documentation of what the pandemic felt like to me.

Swagger & Stroll Down the Rabbit Hole is the fifth studio album by Swedish avant-garde metal band Diablo Swing Orchestra. It was released on 2 November 2021 via Candlelight Records. The album combines elements of jazz, swing, classical, and progressive rock with just about everything in between. The band push musical boundaries to the extreme with humor, creativity, and a healthy dose of positive aggression. Swagger & Stroll Down the Rabbit Hole is by far their most ambitious undertaking and which pays tribute to all four previous releases. DSO once again teamed up with producer Roberto Laghi (In Flames, Hardcore Superstars) who has become somewhat of the ninth member of the orchestra.

Thy Catafalque, the breathtaking project of visionary composer Tamas Katai, returns with the exhilarating new album 'Naiv.' The fourth Thy Catafalque album in five years from the prolific Katai, 'Naiv' is yet another style-blending tapestry of progressive metallic rock. The record seamlessly weaves elements of Hungarian folk music, seductive female vocals, colorful horns, and synthwave into a potent cocktail of chimeric and unmissable hard rock splendor.

Ever since the project’s humble beginnings in the late 90’s, Thy Catafalque and its creator Tamás Kátai has been slowly but steadily crafted an organic, dynamic and unique mixture of black metal and Hungarian folk, post-rock and ambient. Lengthy songs with raw distorted guitars brickwalled by dense keyboard section and synths, unorthodox tempo and mood changes, indecipherable lyrics. Over the years Kátai widened this already complex sound with industrial soundscapes, touches of classic and modernist music. In short he’s closer to Béla Bartok than Darkthrone. And his craft nowhere as dizzying and head-spinning than Catafalques’s sixth full length album, Sguur. Compared to the stark, more lineal Rengeteg, Sgurr is about as experimental as Catafalque can get.

With "Meta", the ever-evolving Thy Catafalque transforms once again. The Hungarian progressive/experimental metal project, helmed by composer, lyricist, and multi-instrumentalist Tamás Kátai, takes a heavier, more direct tack than on last years sprawling "Sgùrr". Katai effortlessly weaves idiosyncratic progressive passages and folk melodies through this (much) heavier and more metallic album. Thy Catafalque's enduring unpredictability makes it one of metal's most unique bands, and 'Meta' is yet another distinct and indispensable piece of their integral catalog of albums.

Thy Catafalque are now streaming their complete new masterpiece, 'Geometria', which has been released on May 4th, 2018. Mastermind Tamás Kátai states: "Geometria is definitely the smoothest Thy Catafalque album. Although there are some really heavy moments here and there, in general the record is adventurous, free and playful with a decent amount of vocals, violin, saxophone and even a trumpet clearly indicating that metal is but one component here. We enjoyed creating this one big time, and I'm happy to have 'Geometria' in the catalogue"…
