APOCALYPTICA

Simply, there is no other band like Finland's Apocalyptica - a four-strong collective of classically-tutored cellists (with attitude!) who have successfully brought together the seemingly disparate worlds of classical music & hard rock without diluting either one. Since 1993, when these Sibelius Academy graduates first raised their black-haired bows in rock'n'roll anger, they have released three critically-lauded albums (of covers & originals) and have put their suitably dramatic monicker to over half-a-million album sales and topped the three-figure mark for concerts in more than 20 different countries, never failing to pick up accolades for its four member (Eicca Toppinen, Max Lilja, Paavo Lotjonen, Perttu Kivilaakso) along the way.
Not bad for a band who started out playing Metallica songs for fun!
