Rock & Metal's Hidden Gems
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Episode 1
Rock & Metal’s Hidden Gems returns with a brand-new series — and this time, we’re flipping the script. Instead of searching for hidden gem tracks, we’re spotlighting a hidden gem band, diving deep into their music to explore why they deserve far greater recognition and success. For this series, our focus is on the wildly original Diablo Swing Orchestra.
In this episode, we introduce who Diablo Swing Orchestra are and explore what makes them one of the most unique and creative bands across any genre. We break down their early years and take a closer look at their first two albums, including standout tracks like “Balrog Boogie” and “Heroines,” setting the stage for their unmistakable sound and vision.
This is Part 1 of 2. Part 2 will examine the band’s evolution in vocal style from opera to jazz and dive into their three most recent albums.
Looking ahead, our next series will take a deep dive into a major rock or metal band’s discography, uncovering and dissecting the hidden gem tracks from each album. If there’s a band you’d love us to cover, send your suggestions to randm.hiddengems.podcast@gmail.com and help shape future episodes.
