I can hear Grieg headbanging in his grave like a boss.
+Anipartom This needs at least a thousand more likes!
+martina mollar totally xD this comment made my day
hahahaha xD
Edvard Grieg?
yes
Proof that Metal is not about the instruments, or the music piece, or even lyrics. Metal is a state of being. One can be Metal with even cellos.
Love it!!!! So FUCKIN true!!!!!
Boom!🧙♂️
i mean, i'm pretty sure metal requires at least one stringed instrument
Its the drums
@@goldsrcorsource2551
well then there's acapella metal, like Van Canto. they only use drums
Son, you'll learn how to play Cello!
But mom, I want to play guitar!
Shut up kid, and go to your Cello class!
*20 years later*
In my house as a kid it was more like "you're gonna learn to play flute!" "but mom, I wanna learn cello!" "Shut up and go to band class!" *fifteen years later, my flute sounds like a goose, and I want to trade it in for a damn cello.*
@@victoriacobb2370 dunno why i read your post and thought - this one time at band camp :-p :-p
Trust me I wish my mum forced a cello on my rathe than allowing meto play drums and guitar
Wednesday adams dark side. 💀
"OK. Want me to learn cello? I learn ya some fucking cello bitch." 🤣
My 1.5 year old daughter absolutely LOVES this song. When I put it on the TV she just stops what she's doing and starts trying to headbang with the dudes in the video.
Worlds youngest metal fan?
Awesome!!!!
Apocalyptica has the best lullabies for my wee girl. She's faling asleep while listen CULT. She's been listen Apocalyptica since she was in my belly. Now she is 3 year old and she keep asking when the new album will be relised coz she ''really loves Capocalica'' (she nows about new album as I gave her to listen Cold blood and Till death us part ;) )
Parenting done right!
theXald YOUR'E RAISING YOUR CHILD FUCKING WELL GODDAMNIT !!!
I remember my middle school orchestra and band director showed this to me almost 10 years ago. I still come back to listen to it every once in a while. Thanks, Mr. Thomason.
Music is music. It’s the passion, emotion and work you put into your instrument ( voice included) that gives it your intended feeling. You can do amazing things no matter what your style is.
I have never seen a crowd clap so in time
Everybody knows the song :D
First time I heard (learnt it through Grieg, actually) I wondered if the crowd was clapping so right or the musicians following along. I bet in the end there was a bit of both. Show how great musicians and performers they are to get such an alchemy with the crowd
I love when they mix classical music with heavy metal!
¿Do you like Children of Bodom? Downfall may be something you would love 😁
Classical music is where metal came from
This WAS Metal back in the day. Whenever I hear this I picture a bunch of powdered wigs skanking and moshing it up.
@@luka_apic Exactly. Beethoven was metas AF in some songs.
For anyone interested: the melody played 0:58-1:02 is a part from the national anthem of Finland. Great video! Cheers
Or even a bit earlier!
Yet another example of how classical music and metal are one and the same. Classical musicians weer the metalheads of their day.
Pagan music was more like the metal of those times . They used instruments like the ‘hurdy gurdy’ which produced
sustained 5ths adagios which sounds similar as the power chord , also people used that music to get drugged and crazy at parties
Somewhere in the city of Bergen, Norway. A dead man head bangs in his grave.
BERGEN?
Damn right. Exitig the airport, you`ll se the large letters BERGEN? Stupid ? Should be an ! instead. And yes, turning in his grave in just joy-
Apocalyptica: Making the Cello sexy for the 21st Century.
Yes
sounds like doc brown had something to do with this since you said 21st century
yaaaassss
Look at TwoCellos' rendition of Smells Like Teen Spirit, originally by Nirvana.
Apocalyptica overall is so damn epic it's quite sexually arousing to listen to (to me, idk. Can't be the only one).
I wonder if that is what this sounded like when it dropped in 1867 compared to other compositions of the time.
This was killer!
Trews Detroit I think, Grieg would've hate it at first, but then he'd probably say "well, tell them play it again, goddamn it". And after second listening he's fall in love and start to think this is what HE actually meant when he wrote it hahahaha :)
+Elena Tuktarova Nice grammar.
+Christian Parillo
Well, there're lots of typos, but honestly who here can say he never made any?
+Elena Tuktarova "he" because apparently the only people who listen to metal are men.
#MasculinitySoFragile
Pamela Koppe I wouldn't say "the only" :))
Mostly - yes, but not the only :)))))
It's been about 9 years since I first heard this song and watched this video. This group inspired me to play the cello, and I've been playing it for 8 years now and am so thankful I found this. I've watched this video so many times...
Going to see them in concert April 8th!
@@alexandral6997 Hmmm, they come to GA on the 7th... I might just snag me some tickets. Thanks!
@@duke________1309 They are playing at a smaller venue in Orlando so I don't know what to expect really, but it's worth seeing them live if you can!
I'm speechless.
They play those cellos like the instruments were part of them. It's like they're trying to surpass the limits of normal music and touch a superhuman level. I'm really impressed and I've felt shivers running down my spine so intensely like I've never felt before from a playing band. :)
A perfect example of playing an instrument to make music versus playing WITH an instrument, like a child who has their favorite toy or game figured out to a degree where it becomes an "effortless art" when playing.
This is an interesting episode of Metalocalypse.
Back in the 70s and 80s metal was relatively new, you could not learn it in music school, so you got trained in classic music, this is why it had a great influence on metal.
Have loved this piece since my grandmother took me to see Peer Gynt at the age of 6 a looong time ago. I think of it as the "We Will Rock You" or "Smoke on the Water" (riff-wise) of classical music. Always recognizable and completely unforgettable, esp the way these guys play it!
My neighbors love this song!! (albeit unwillingly) ;)
If they really like it, they’ll call the police and tell them. Sometimes, the cops will even take you back to their office so you can share it with others!
"Jonny, stick with those cello lessons. You never know where it will take you...; )"
Heavy Wood!
Cellos, rock music and sweaty, bare chested men with tattoos...I've died and gone to heaven! Apocalyptica are my new favourite group!
i know right?
Love Apocalyptica, love sweaty bare chested men what more could u ask for.
No no no. You’ve died and gone to hell, you certainly want to pass the afterlife with satanic metalheads instead of virtuous bigots.
It's a goddamn shame Edvard Grieg didn't have an electric guitar and an amp. But then long-hairs like me would have gone berserk and wrecked every auditorium he played in. Transports of mayhem multiplied by complete and total bedlam.
THIS
IS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO MUSIC
Love Cello, Love Grieg, Love Metal ... Thank You!!
This has got to be one of my all time favorite videos!
Merci pour le partage !
HAIL APOCALYPTICA !!!
Brilliant. A state of mind most precious to me when I was at my most vulnerable. Ty.
Whenever I listen to this I always find myself double checking all the volume controls to make sure it can't go any higher.
Was never a fan of this song, until i saw the guys play this song live. Something changes inside you when you see a live apocalyptica show
Who doesn't like this song lol
Truthfully it’s a piece not a song
Thanks Finland, very cool.
Never appreciated how good Apocalyptica was.. plus they sound much better with drums backing them up! I'm very impressed!
cellos + classical music = metal who would've thought
+JuggaLuke
Classical music and Metal have alot more in common than you may think dude...
I swear that if Beethoven or Mozart was alive today they would have been a Motorhead fans..
Why do you think most of the great composers absolutely loaded up the bass sections of their orchestras to have a really, really deep bass sections?...... Because they where very early Metal heads....
+lardonirdesco Symphony orchestras were the rock-bands/electric-guitars of their day---the only thing for which a composer could score which would adequately fill a large-enough auditorium to make it all *worth* while. Follow the money.
Ayo the drummer went IN on this one
I really love this version, is my favorite melody of all my life, since i was an infant
Tamara Munoz same!
How does anyone 'dislike' this!? I cannot comprehend.
+Sinead Hall it hurts my ears
+TheAnderex tried turning it down a bit? its a pretty faithful adaptation for the genre it is being translated to
Oh. My. God.
That was insane. Incredible. I love how they rock out on the cello and not the guitar.
Incredible performance.
I can totally see a bunch of cellist dudes in high school orchestra looking at each other whilst playing Pachelbel's Canon and saying, "Dude, cello's can sound way cooler than this." "Hell yeah, dude, let's start a metal band with some of the percussion guys in marching band." "Let's do it!"
And then again only the Finns could adapt cellos into metal instruments and classical prices into metal songs.
Between this and Nightwish....classical IS metal...lol
xd
Classical is metal before electricity
Just the way Classic should be presented!
Agree with you!
Lol that's offensive to music.
Innovation demands interpretation...this embodies the concept of art. To like or dislike something, one still has to experience it.
Dennis B. Shut, the fuck up.
one2gaming why is there a comma there, mr. Hater?
¡A esto sí le llamo arte! No cualquiera adapta una melodía de música clásica como la de Edvard Grieg al heavy metal, ni mucho menos adaptar una melodía de heavy metal como "Nothing else matters" o "Enter sandman" de Metallica a la música clásica. ¡Estos tíos son unos verdaderos GENIOS!
This is what I call art! Not anybody can adapt a classical melody as Edvard Grieg's to the heavy metal, neither adapt a heavy metal melody as Metallica's "Nothing else matters" or "Enter sandman" to classical music. Those guys are real GENIUSES! (Sorry for my bad English)
I need THIS version on Spotify. I've been waiting for so many years...
Can we talk about Antero just sitting there casually playing in his fancy suit and shades while everyone else is running around shirtless and sweaty, headbanging and shit?
Excellent. They increased to the maximum very professionally and "sophisticated barbarian" way the essence, or in other words: went down to the deepest roots of the temperament of this Grieg masterpiece.
Saw this live tonight - utterly catastrophically blown away - best gig I have EVER been to!
Make no mistake, the guys who first heard Grieg play this were absolutely blown away too.
Wow...wow... love this.
Pretty cool, has a really creepy feel on it,now make a cover of Savatage's version & maybe get Jon Oliva to do the ''AH AH AHA AH AH AH''-vocals!
3:35 TURBO MODE ON!!!
That's how the piece was written. It just got faster and faster and faster. Like Flight of the Bumblebee.
I have this piece in my “Intensive Therapy” folder, when i’m really angry, i mean REALLY ANGRY, i’m listening to it 3 or 5 times and then all my negative and agression are vanishing
Suosikkini band!! I missed the only tour I think they will come to my area . I love them, so talented.
dat moment when this was uploaded 9 years ago FeelsBadMan
Yeah
venomous yup
venomous one day this comment will be 9 years old
Come back, now it's 10 lol
11 years now
2:25 Look at da flicka da wrist
This comment made me laugh so hard. Super underrated xD
yep cool
I just talked to jesus and he said that he and Edvard Grieg were talking the other day at the water cooler and Edvard said he thinks this version kicks ass.
One of the rare quality videos on youtube.. and Apocalyptica is still like 14 years ago. ♡
1k people liked this from Australia
exactly
Nope this sucks
You know somethin'?
YOU SUCK!
1.7k Australians watched this
Thank you. Yes!
Y'know what's weird? I'm fifteen. The kid at highschool known for liking K-Pop and Billie Eillish. But in the shadows, I'm blasting this in quarantine. It's awesome, why do people sleep on these guys?! Even better that there's no vocals and the cello can shine itself.
They're the only people I know who make Cello playing look sexy.
Derek Hale check out 2cellos, they are an amazing duo...
Joseph Kuznicki
-Lol you're awesome XD
Beautifully chaotic. Not for everyone, and not for every time, but when it hits - it hits!
Listening for this every once in a while. This is for the mood, when you feel like dancing with darkness.
I would dare say this is better than the original version of Hall of the Mountain King.
the originals couldn't headbang cos their wigs would have gone flying
yes, to your perception maybe
I think you have your classical music periods mixed up.
probably....it was written a bit after wigs really went out of style......but hey, don't rain on my parade....i kinda like the image of oldschool guys flying their wigs banging away to this
This is fucking awesome! Don't know how I never heard of you guys before, but you've got yet another new fan now!
I just seen this performance for the very first time. Nothing short of astounding! One of my favourite pieces revisited with an edge and, it is completely amazing!
New sub guys! Very Best! 👏👍
+Graham MacDonald every time I see this video (on TH-cam) and there's Perttu looking like some half-animal, half-man, all RAW sexuality, completely gorgeous, and I know this is an old Skadic song, but they play it like they wrote it, theri version kicks ass. This is the version I've come to love.
Some classical music is pure rock.
one of the songs where the live version is better as the studio version...
Did anybody notice near the beginning a phrase from the Finnish national anthem?
Owen Hoggard but of course :)
+Axe Xxx yeah Finnish and Estonian are almost the exact same launguage but don't they drop the endings?
+Axe Xxx I'm pretty sure that it is
+Agne Miski xD I'm pretty sure, I've talked with a couple Estonians about it...
+Owen Hoggard i dont recognize the anthem, being from Canada, but isnt it a norwegian composition? im sure apoc is just playing to their crowd as anyone would tho
2:45 Shit's about to get real ! Hype !
Edvard Grieg would be proud. Seriously. The fact that his work is remembered and cherished hundred years past his death and is built upon is just amazing.
Does anyone know where the concert was taped? How people can clap along and ruin the dynamic I can not understand…
I've always wondered if they use their prize-cellos when playing live on stage, or if those are reserved for studio recordings and home usage...
A couple of them are quite old, and probably pretty valuable.
I could totally see dwarves and trolls rocking out to this!
Wow...Amazing fusion
The devil went down to Georgia because it was far away from these guys.
omf god i love these guys so talented unbelievable music
cellos and rock-n-roll?!? Did I die?!? is this Heaven?!?!
No.. This is hell
@@natmlt7895 im at doom's gate
I need this version on Spotify ❤
I liked it. I wonder what Jacqueline Du Pre would have thought.
It does make a very full, heavy soundscape.
aaaaaaaaaaa hot hot hot!
Perttu looks so sleepy until the second half of the song. xD
This is actually from the very end of an hour and half long show, it amazes me that they're even still standing after all that headbanging, cello-slaying sheer awesomeness :P
Yes, I know, but I am so used to Dream Theater and Machine Head's half hour long musics, I just forgot how there were different bands that had different styles. xP
Awww, finally someone who know music! the original happens to one of my favorite pieces
그냥좋아요
What would you consider this? Classic? Metal? A bit of both? What would it be called?
+riptidefirebender I guess they fall under Neo-Classical Metal
Wood
+Josh lol hahaha
hardwood?
Lukas Longus heavywood
perttu is my soul mate
Thank you! Marvelous Darlings!
Around 2:26 it makes me think of Chop Suey by SOAD
Never have been a fan of classical, or metal. But this is awesome! :)
Hall of The Mountain King Apocalyptica Far away
In a land caught between
Time and space Where the books of life lay
We fear
This castle of stone
The mountain king roams
All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside Forever hidden from the sun
Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
His deep
Dark eyes
Keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside
His hall
His towers of stone Shall not be overthrown
For eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity and the power that it brings
Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come with me
Stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear
In the thunder, it roars
When the Mountain King calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refuge here but I was forever on the run
Madness reigns
(my friends)
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is genius so amazing to watch i absolutely love it. What a wonderful metal band
I'm not a fan of heavy/black metal and I know it's a classical from the norwegian Edvard Gried which I love...Well, but I must admit they are VERY talented.
I know this is an old comment but this isn't heavy metal or black metal. Apocalyptica are symphonic metal. A subgenre of metal of music that often throws in more classical music elements. Also sometimes includes an operatic singer. Look up bands like Nightwish, Delain and Within Temptation for some more symphonic metal. Heavy metal is stuff like AC-DC, people usually incorrectly focus on the heavy part. Black metal is FAR heavier as a genre. Metal has such a wide range of extremely varied subgenres that you can almost guarantee that anyone could find a metal band they like.
Fuck yah!
***** watched a few of these and like the compliment they give each other ;-)
Come and dance with darkness...
ok, this has to be my favorite version i've heard yet.
this is so sick,back when they had ball sacks,the bassy cello lead at 2:22 makes my heart mur mur their material these days is as mundane and mainstream as it gets !! ruined by sucky singers and a loss of fire
you should have heard them on the 27th oct. this year at Budapest. no bs, just metallica.
they rocked
József Mozer DID YOU JUST SAY METALLICA?!
2019 like?
Why doesn't anybody mention Grieg?
The most impressive thing I have seen in a long time.
Nuclear Fusion?
touhou project?
tacos?
+Christo Robert tortas tamales
mierjicano envidioso cuantas copas tenes?
Well, I like it but my parakeets really got disturbed and started flying around so I had to turn it down.
Final boss?
yesss
Jadore cest mecs la ! Ils en jette 🖤🤘🏻 super motivant, du bon metal
how does one manage to play a violin like that
Cello I think.
Start with a Cello and wear it down! :)
Classical training at conservatory while transposing Metallica with your buddies at night.
A cello...the violin part is much softer
That ending. Fuck me. That. Ending. Brilliance.
a wondrous land of laughter and light!
Grieg was the first true norwegian black metal musician
