Diablo Swing Orchestra =/= tech/extreme metal?

Prog Metal would suit them great, but I could see them in RIO/Avant. Either way, the most important thing is that I don't think Extreme/Tech is very accurate at all.

	I also had something here (that I hastily edited out) about them potentially fitting into RIO/Avant, although that would likely irk more people then putting them in prog metal would. At least one person agrees with me that Avant is at least a possible genre sorting for them, due to their "crazy genre mixing", but prog metal is a little more suitable.

	I think Prog Metal is about right.

	I will get the rest of the PMT to read this, and we can move them if neccessary.

	First of all, yes, I know this is the wrong section, but in the Shred we couldn't figure out where it properly ought to go. Someone will need to move this thread. The metal band Diablo Swing Orchestra has a lot of interesting jazz influences, and on MMA is listed as avant-metal, but here on the archives they are listed as tech/extreme metal. Anyone who has heard them knows that is miles from accurate; they really are neither technical nor extreme in the slightest (except for extremely awesome of course!). I can appreciate that they are hard to classify into the genres on this website, and that they are not really similar to other progressive metal bands, but it seems to me that they must be moved into the Progressive Metal category; tech/extreme is just way too far from suitable. Thank you. Edited by HTCF - May 19 2010 at 22:49
