Apocalyptica: Band
built 643 days ago
In 2003, Apocalyptica released their fourth studio album, Reflections, which consisted for the first time of all original songs. Reflections featured a more experimental sound, instead of the previous acoustic style arrangements found on Inquisition Symphony and Cult. Dave Lombardo from Slayer played drums on five songs from Reflections. As he was unable to join the band on stage on the following tour, the band hired Mikko Sirén, who would stay with the band for future tours as well as the recording of the next album.

Apocalyptica released their sixth studio album, Worlds Collide, on September 17 2007. Till Lindemann of Rammstein is among the guest singers. He will be taking on David Bowie's song "Heroes", which was ... released in German as "Helden". Till will be singing the German version, making his song the only German-language song on Worlds Collide and the second in the band's history.

Most people know the band Apocalyptica from their infamous, bold album Plays Metallica by Four Cellos, an album on which, you guessed it, the four Finnish cello prodigies offered their own unique interpretations of eight of Metallica’s classic tunes. The 1996 CD garnered a lot of notoriety at the time, partially as a novelty and most notably as a work that showed just how well classic metal lends itself to classical instrumentation, and deservedly so, as songs like “Master of Puppets” and “Enter Sandman” sounded just as powerful coming out of the F-hole of the cello as it does coming out of a massive Marshall stack. As is the case with such left-field experiments, people in North America tuned out Apocalyptica as quickly as they tuned the quartet in, rendering them one of the more quirky relics of ‘90s pop culture.
