People living in the Nordic region of Europe must have Viking blood running through their veins. How else to explain the passion for dark violent dramatic metal?
Even those with classical training have a love for it it seems. Apocalyptica a cello quartet from Helsinki Finland were initially received as an amusing novelty when they debuted in 1996 with an album full of Metallica covers. But in time theyve gained an enormous amount of respect and goodwill from metal fans around the world which enjoy their music for containing all the drama and rage of a good metal song.
The band is composed of four cellists who met at the Sibelius Academy for music: Eicca Toppinen Max Lilja Antero Manninen and Paavo Lotjonen. At first their diverse range included everything from Bach to Jimi Hendrix. But eventually their shared love of metal led them to craft covers of wellknown metal standards. The bands they included Pantera Metallica Slayer and more. Eventually they decided to join a covers night at a local metal club. They approached the gig with some trepidationthey werent sure how the crowd would reactbut in the end they received lots of applause and had a great time.
After putting out their first album with a title that was straight and to the point: Four Cellos Cover Metallica they continued to tour and gig both at home and abroad. In Finland and especially in Helsinki they were a massive hit. But the band thought they could do more.
They began writing their own songs and eventually added a drummer Dave Lombardo. This allowed them to pursue more of a rock or metal hybrid sound as opposed to a strictly classical one. They found future success with each album that came out. Their most recent 2007s Worlds Collide featured an excellent cover of David Bowies Heroes sung in German by Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann.
Now on tour this is the time for metal fans to snap up some Apocalyptica tickets and see this band live.
