Apocalyptica, Rocking Cellos Options

[Somber_Eyes1]

Many people don't know about them but really should! heres my attempt to spread the word.

If you know them great! If not give them a listen and give your opinion.
I think they are amazing and greatly enjoy their music. They don't just do instrumental stuff. Sometimes they will feature a vocalist usually from another Finnish band to sing for them.

heres a bit about them....

Since 1996 and the release of their debut album ('Plays Metallica By Four Cellos'), Apocalyptica - graduates of the prestigious Sibelius Academy in Finland - have been developing a style that is tough to put a name to... 'Heavy Cello Mayhem'? 'Rock'n' Resin'?!... The possibilities are vast, but whatever the latest tag, the fact remains that never before had a group of classically-trained cellists, metal fans to a man, attempted to fuse together the seemingly disparate worlds of classical music & hard rock...of Prokofiev & Pantera... Shostakovich & Slayer... to seek out the middle ground between the mosh pit & the orchestra pit, the dinner jacket & the denim jacket, whilst being 100 per cent respectful to both camps...

You know, I quite like them... even their Metallica covers... and I don't even like Metallica!

Bittersweet is really nice.

I don't care for metallica either but I love them!

They're ok .. they were a nice addition on the 2004 Rammstein tour, being the opening act and then coming back out and playing with Rammstein on "Ohne Dich" but I can't listen to them for long periods of time.

I could listen to a single song of theirs over and over for an hour or more..... Actually I have done that.

Rammstein? I heard about that but I was hoping it was a joke.

no me gusta.
