Ascendance Records press release

Here's the cover art for the upcoming Diablo Swing Orchestra album "Sing-Along Songs For The Damned And Delirious", out in Europe on the 21st September. It was made by the acclaimed Swedish illustrator Peter Bergting, most notable for his work with the graphic novel Gängkrig which is a #1 bestseller in Sweden right now.

The album will come in two editions for the stores. The "normal" edition will be a 4-panel digipac containing the CD and a 12 page booklet and a "special" edition, limited to just 2000 copies, in a gorgeous 8 panel digipac containing the CD, a 12 page booklet and a Bonus DVD featuring all sorts of goodies like live footage, behind the scenes, photo albums and whatever else can be crammed in!

A "very special" edition will be available directly from Ascendance by mail order only, with an individually numbered band logo Dog Tag pendant, a set of postcards and a vinyl sticker included with the CD/DVD version. This will be stricly limited to 300 copies and details for pre-order will be on the Ascendance Myspace soon.

Having now heard the full album we can assure you that old fans of the band will not be disappointed at all. It's got all the elements that made "The Butcher's Ballroom" such a success, but they've also built on those themes and taken the sound to new and uncharted territory. In short: You're going to love it!

As previously announced the band will be playing a launch party show in London on October 2nd at the Purple Turtle, Camden. The venue has a limited capacity and tickets are selling fast! I know it seems a long time away but I suggest you get your tickets sooner rather than later to avoid potential disappointment.

Tickets are available in advance from Seetickets. Alternatively you can avoid postage costs and booking fees by buying directly from us at this location. We won't be issuing physical tickets, but we'll keep your name(s) at the door for when you arrive.

Yeah, i would say it's a surprise ... but a good surprise

I actually like it, very colorful and a contrast from their previous cd

And about the music, well, we can only wait for it

Fucks up with that cover art? I thought the band hit a really sweet note on their first album, borth music and image wise. I mean, Diablo swing orchestra just perfectly sums up their sound, and so did their first cover. What this cover reflects is "Weve gone big and we dont give a fuck", so one can only hope the album lives up to that statement - because it doe'snt look weird or messed up. Think the one who desriped it as unexpected hit it pretty well.

Damn.... Anybody who has listened to the new song?
I thought it was fucking awesome and the male singer that sounded kinda militar [at least for me] was such a great add imo. The song was pretty funny to listen to I really liked it.

The song is amazing =|

I wasn't sure of what the new album would look like, after such a great first.
But if it continues that way, that's gonna be another awesome one.
