Any fans of Apocalyptica?

[Coach Vee]

This is one talented band, making a name for themselves by covering Metallica songs - except that they are a quartet of cello players!

They've also done a few albums of their own material which are great. Most of them are instrumental, but they have had some guest singers too.

I think they're relatively unheard of - I only heard of them through my boyfriend. Was just wondering if anyone else had heard of them!

A few links for those unsure what I'm on about. Their songs are all quite different, so I have found 4 examples...

Quutamo (my favourite instrumental song of theirs - this isn't actually a video, just the song)

Path Vol. 2 (this one is with vocals..)

Repressed (one of their heaviest, might turn off those who don't like the heavy screamy-style vocals)

For those going "Nah - that can't be a cello sound, surely?" Here's a live video - awesome heavy cover of Hall of the Mountain King - for those impatient - it starts to get crazy about 1:50 ish:

For those curious about how it sounds when they cover Metallica, here is their cover of Nothing Else Matters.

And Master of Puppets:

I love Bittersweet too! Funny thing is that I really don't like HIM, but I still love that song, even though he is singing in it... xD

Fuck Apocalyptica, Stringfever is where it's at. Look them up on youtube, they are kickass.

Saw them live on saturday, it was a pretty cool show.

[nieh]

I remember liking their Hell of the Mountain King song when I heard it a couple years ago. It was hilariously over the top and awesome.

Of course I'm a fan of them, It was great when they came to Colombia to a Rock al Parque festival back in 2005, I was there!!!!

I've just seen them for the first time at Download festival and I thought they absolutely rocked. Loads of talent, loved them! :)
