Many years ago, a group called Apocalyptica, started to play Metallica cover songs just for fun. Apocalyptica was a cello quartet founded by the graduates of Sibelius Academy in Finland. Back on those days they were different and some folks did not take them seriously. Anyhow, in few years they gained name in the metal music scene. They were different but they played very interesting metal music with their cellos.
Nowadays this group called Apocalyptica does not play Metallica covers that much, but instead have composed their own songs. Apocalyptica has played together with big names, such as Rammstein, Sandra Nasicin, Nina Hagen, Cristina Scabbia, Ville Valo (HIM), Dave Lombardo (Slayer) and Corey Taylor from Slipknot. In addition to those Apocalyptica has also contributed to the albums of other bands, such as Bullet for My Valentine. As a diamond to the top of the list I would like to mention Apocalyptica’s version of Edvard Grieg’s classical piece “Hall of the Mountain King.
Apocalyptica has released eleven singles, eleven albums and two DVD’s. Few of the best known Apocalyptica songs are I’m Not Jesus, Bittersweet, Hope, Path, Faraway, Seeman, Life Burns and Nothing Else Matters. Right now Apocalyptica is touring in France in Europe. After that Apocalyptica continues their tour to Spain, UK, Ireland, and Germany and so on.
Apocalyptica has released few videos and few of them are linked here in Metal-Music-Videos.Com from YouTube.Com. My favorite Apocalyptica videos are The Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, Quutamo, I’m Not Jesus and Hall of the Mountain King played live in Germany. Ok, that’s not all. I forgot Repressed. What makes that video fabulous is the visiting vocalist Max Cavalera from Soulfly. I have been a Soulfly fan since the Ice Age and that particular music video of Apocalyptica and Max Cavalera playing together is just a pure diamond, a piece of art.
I have been looking for free Apocalyptica music sheets with poor results. I have found few sites providing Apocalyptica’s sheets with price on it. In case you are ready to pay, here are few sites providing the sheets:
Here is a long discussion of Apocalyptica’s music sheets
Apocalyptica’s lyrics you can easily find by typing just Apocalyptica and the song name to Google, so I am not going to link them here.
Apocalyptica continues their successful career. It is great to see guys of my homecountry still going strong. Yeah, rock!
