Hardrock on Cello

Apocalyptica is a Finnish band consisting of three classically-trained cellists and a drummer: Eicca Toppinen (cello) , Perttu Kivilaakso (cello), Paavo Lötjönen (cello), Mikko Sirén (drums). All three cellists are graduates of the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland.

Their specialty is heavy metal music on cellos, though they also play classical music. They started by playing covers of Metallica, but once the concept became popular they wrote their own original works, maintaining the thrash metal influences on their albums Inquisition Symphony (mainly covers as well) and Cult. Since Reflections, they have added drums to their recordings and live performances. (read more)

Listen Now 

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Nothing Else Matters Lyrics
