context_page_description: Diablo Swing Orchestra, also shortened DSO, is a Swedish avant-garde metal band formed in 2003. They have released four albums: The Butcher's Ballroom, Sing Along Songs for the Damned & Delirious, Pandora's Piñata and Pacifisticuffs.
  Known for its blend of different genres, the band mixes numerous influences, most prominently from heavy metal, rock, swing, progressive, and classical, although various other influences are frequently mentioned by critics. The line-up features several instrumentists uncommon for rock or metal bands, such as a cellist, a trumpeter, and a trombonist, while their albums often prominently feature string and brass sections.
context_section_description: On January 24, 2011, the band announced on Facebook that trumpetist Martin Isaksson and trombonist Daniel Hedin, which were both featured as guests on Sing Along Songs for the Damned & Delirious, had joined Diablo Swing Orchestra as full-time members.
  On October 9, 2011, the band revealed their 3rd album title: Pandora's Piñata.
  On March 29, 2012, the band announced on Facebook that Petter Karlsson was leaving the band; he was still featured on the upcoming album, as he had already recorded all his parts. The band publicly thanked him "for all the fun times together as well as for all the hard work he has put into the band". Karlsson stated "DSO is a band which foundation is made from a bunch of great guys, with great ideas, great enthusiasm and 100% motivation. I just feel that I can’t mobilize that amount of greatness and enthusiasm, without having a bigger share of the artistic creation and in addition to limited financial gain. I just have too much other things going in my life right now. And I really want to continue working on my own projects. So therefore I leave the drum throne to someone who can put the right amount of energy into it. DSO deserve that". Johan Norbäck filled in as drummer for the rest of the ongoing tour, and eventually became a full-time member.
  On April 9, 2012, the band released the new album's first single, "Voodoo Mon Amour" through their Facebook page.
  Pandora's Piñata was released on May 14, 2012 in Europe, and May 22 in North America. It received rave reviews from music critics. On January 8, 2013, the band released the video from the song "Black Box Messiah".
