The origin of the name of the band is related both on their website and on their CDBaby description page. The back-story recounts a historically questionable, though amusing, ancestral story beginning in 16th century Sweden. Supposedly, ancestors of the band members performed orchestral works in defiance of the ruling church at the time (possibly the newly installed protestant Lutheran national church, in power during the mid and late 16th century). The orchestra was forced to go into hiding, performing in secret, with the assistance of oppressed peasants during the era. After years of performing for the pleasure of these peasants, the story claims that the church put a bounty on the performers lives, and that this bounty was so high that the orchestra knew they would soon be captured, and thusly chose to play a spectacular final show before becoming martyred to the church.
While this account is historically unsupported it does provide a backdrop to DSO’s eclectic musical style.

Just listened to the Ballroom album (download at jamendo.com) and... well, I'm just knocked out... The music reminds me of System of a Down, but it's even harder, heavier, furiouser and unique... I also hope they come to Germany, to Berlin.

"For some reason... I feel like I've heard these songs before." Yeah, I get that feeling too! I guess there's just something really primal about them x)

Nice to see Stolen Babies as a similar artist. They may not sound much like DSO, but they're unspeakably awesome.
