well they aren't only a cover band, they write their own original pieces that are incredible in every sense of the word. They then often times go back and put words to them, but usually have other people sing them....but if you go waaaaaaaaaaaay back to their start, they sang ^_^
This is AWESOME!!!!!!!! As a lifelong fan of both classical music and heavy metal I've long dreamt of combining the two formats (both playing metal songs on classical instruments and vice versa). This is exactly what I want to hear! The cello has a similar enough sound to the (electric)|guitar to translate well, but with so much more tonal richness. Great stuff!!
I agree, why are you hear if you can't appreciate. I myself play cello, and they are a major idol to me. It seems easy to play without breaking a bow, strings or screech a sting, it's ALOT harder than it looks, especially how they play. They are amazing. : )
Well said! I've taught myself how to play cello and these guys ARE phenomenal! I admire their skill as well, and hope that I can play as fast as they can play. You're so right when you say it's A LOT harder than it looks. (they make it look so easy, cuz they're sooooooooo good)
the guy in black with glasses, is their mentor basically. He brought the classical sound to their original pieces, so he dresses for it. He likes to think of himself as how musicians used to be thought of. Professional. The long blond hair, well considering where they are from and the style of music they are covering *Metallica* , I'd say it's appropriate. The fact is though, they look the same when playing their own original pieces
They have entire albums of only their original work...And it is intensely amazing and far far better than any metallica cover they've ever done. yes, they are great at covering metallica, and it was something new, but Apocalyptica's original pieces...blow my mind.
It is almost sickening what these guys can do on a cello. It's not natural to be able to play that fast and accurate on an upright..haha. I love these guys
Actually, they'd all probably be lead cellos in major symphony orchestras, since all of them are classically trained and more than one of them has done stints with orchestras in the past.
I didn't know these guys were cello players unti I found them doing Nothing Else Matters. But, I didn't know that they could do even more Metallica. David Garret does Nothing Else Matters and Master of Puppets on a Violin. But this stuff, it gets me headbanging. LOL
Yeah that gives the instrument cello a whole new meaning. Never heard it used in rock till today. They do it nice. ( Did they covered metallica or they covered them ) Cause some parts are from metallica .. I know for sure.
wow, i thought this was a joke with the cellos, then i checked out their other songs and found out its their main instruments. but i have to admit, these guys are fucking good.
Best Cover They've Done. Hands down. Why they bothered with seek and destroy, i don't know... it's too thrashy to really do it justice with cellos... This song is amazing though... the sound of the solo played on the cello is phenominal.
These guys have more talent in their pinky finger than you could ever imagine to have. And ya, people win money for that. Go Do Something Else With Your Life Naruto Fanboy
Uhm, this is from an album they put out that COVERED metallica. It's basically a tribute. They have several albums of their own original work that is absolutely phenomenal!
Hardly to say , but you got a point. They play awsome ... and i never heard guitars being replaced by cello's very nice. But plz play your own music. ( cause this is metallica's creeping death not yours )
Sorry for saying revengeofangel is right. I yust thought they copied songs they played from bands only , sorry I should have searched for the facts first before giving comment. I appoligize. And , yes there damnly nice tallented cello players. ( I don't even like cello , but they make me like it ... sounds awsome when they play it ) 5 star on the vid!!!
@Christopherwilder47 first time I saw these guys i said " WOW look at that chick rock that cello"! Then BAM!! She was a he. LOL! They still rock though.
the blonde hair guy looks like zake wylnn pre-ozzy then stands up and plays standing up and turns tward the drummer looks like he was a guitarist at one time..... looks like a metal guy for sure hell yeah die by my hands
well they aren't only a cover band, they write their own original pieces that are incredible in every sense of the word. They then often times go back and put words to them, but usually have other people sing them....but if you go waaaaaaaaaaaay back to their start, they sang ^_^
OMG! This is AWESOME!!!!! Thanks a lot for the whole band for making such brilliant version! Respect from Moscow!
i love the way when eicca hit the drums!!

They have entire albums of only their original work...And it is intensely amazing and far far better than any metallica cover they've ever done. yes, they are great at covering metallica, and it was something new, but Apocalyptica's original pieces...blow my mind.
i absolutly love this song!!!!!!
Apocalytica has an entire album covering just metallica songs. They also have albums of their own original work which is even more amazing!
thats awesome. its a different way of playing the cello.
all Metallica covers from Apocalyptica

i love Metallica
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!
I want to take orchestra now. This is soooooooooo awsome!

I love watching these guys head bang and act metal when they're playing cellos
It makes me giggle
Amazing.

Still damn nicely done:P
It is almost sickening what these guys can do on a cello. It's not natural to be able to play that fast and accurate on an upright..haha. I love these guys

I love it! At 1:55 it's like "Alright enough screwing around, let's do this s***!"
Holy crap that's awsome.
Actually, they'd all probably be lead cellos in major symphony orchestras, since all of them are classically trained and more than one of them has done stints with orchestras in the past.
@darkarchon777 Yes.. I met them all in Charlotte, NC. Very nice fellas.. the drummer is awesome.
I ♥ Antero Manninen aka The man with the shades!
They have. It was release on a Hope vol. 2 single. Someone's posted it here on TH-cam, just search.
Listen to the songs where they have someone else come sing for them. They have some amazing collaborations with a few different styles.
I didn't know these guys were cello players unti I found them doing Nothing Else Matters. But, I didn't know that they could do even more Metallica. David Garret does Nothing Else Matters and Master of Puppets on a Violin. But this stuff, it gets me headbanging. LOL
Undo the original song is from Metallica - creeping death : THIS IS ONE SUPER AWSOME COVER!!!
I like it allot.
wonderfuly...
Yeah that gives the instrument cello a whole new meaning.
Never heard it used in rock till today.
They do it nice.
( Did they covered metallica or they covered them )
Cause some parts are from metallica .. I know for sure.

@cenine3105 eicca toppinen is amazing, he is the angel to my darkness lol
@raynate2022 everything is possible, if you really want it, these guys wanto to rock on a cello, and they just do it (:
i would be even more impressed if one of them sang instead of playing the lyrics
if you mean the blonde one then I must agree!^^
Apocalyptica KICK ASS!!!
Do they ever get a headache from spinning their head?
@erkkea It's a cover. And Metallica LIKES their covers. So are you saying that Metallica has a bad taste in music?
these guys are just like a hard rock rasputina
@ SitotiKurton: OMG! Are you kidding me?? That wonderful blond person...is a GUY!!!
Open your eyes!!! ^^
The leader of the group, Eicca Toppinen!!!!
Eino Matti Toppinen. Most call him Eicca after he named himself like that and because that's easy xD
I have yet to find a cover song I don't love from these guys!!!
by the guy with the glasses: only his fingers are moving! xD
:D this is real metal without electric guitars.
i agree wiith tj wilkerson they need to get james hetfield on vocals
Metallica made classical its unheard of until now
whats the dude with the black and white striped shirts name?
the one with the glasses is elton john lol
