Fair enough, I haven't really paid much attention to the lyrical side of Diablo Swing Orchestra. I don't think there was a lot of English on the first album, or if there was it was drowned out by operatic vibratos. I do recall noticing that a majority of the songs were sung in English and they also toned down the Operatic style. Still I'll have to go back and listen to it with headphones, but I doubt I'll be surprised by the lyrical content of the song. Avant-garde metal has some really strange lyrics when you dissect it down that far.

You know how with most progressive metal bands you get less about progress and more a songs that stretch past the 5 minute mark and feature clean vocals? This isn't that. Subterranean Masquerade are certainly masters of the progressive ideals and attaches them seamlessly to the heavy sound and imagery of metal. If you're a progressive rock fan who wants to hear real progressive metal, check out this album.
