I've found a new cool band.
Check them out. Having a classically trained opera singer at the front of a schlock metal band is making me chuckle, but they're actually pretty damn good.

(Okay, so the Diablo Swing Orchestra isn't really a new band, but they're new to me.)

I've
got a couple of their albums.

I don't know whether it's just me, but I've always detected heavy King Crimson influences in their music.

Really?
I'll have to consider that as I listen to them.

They're actually very good musicians, almost surprisingly so. Kinda like Southern Culture On The Skids.

This is actually pretty great!
You've got me hooked there.

I've been looking
and I can't find their first CD for sale.

Dammit.

EDIT: Nevermind, the tracks on that one are on the current one.

I'm trying to remember who recommended
Conjure One, I tried them on Spotify and I quite like them.

EDIT: Looks like DSO are on Candlelight along with Olivia Sperati - Norwegian all-girl doom metal band. Might be up your alley. :)

@ LiC
Not a bad label, Candlelight.

I'm quite liking Sirenia at the minute on the female-fronted metal front.

they are good!
I've punted them around to a few mates as well.

That sort of thing can so often go wrong, but they've done a fine job of mixing a lot of random styles of music.

thanks Loon!

Glad you like them.

How about some surfer punk garage music? cdbaby.com/cd/cogburns

They're pretty cool too...

On a quick sample
I like, but then again I like horrorpops, tiger army and nekromantiks so that's no surprise. Well done.
