Apocalyptica

Apocalyptica is a Finnish symphonic metal band from Helsinki, formed in 1993. The band is composed of classically trained cellists Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, and Perttu Kivilaakso, and jazz drummer Mikko Sirén. Originally a classical-style Metallica tribute band, the band eventually adopted a neoclassical metal style without the use of conventional guitars and bass. They have sold over four million albums to date.

I reckon they've invented a new genre of Goth Cello. Whenever I hear them on RP I think of graveyards, zombies, doom and destruction, and other such wholesome things for us closet Goths. The name is rather a giveaway as to their style, mind. Anyway, they always give me the willies, and as the late great John Peel said, good music should always be a bit scary.



Interesting. Very well stated!   EXCELLENT TUNE!

Always liked the band. The guys are pros and they just have this unique ghost-story sound. Would go for it over any thrashy and melancholic wannabe tunes.

Gorgeous.  In the way a 40 knot wind buffets you on a high cliff overlooking the ocean.

Apocalyptica has to be the most depressing music I've ever heard. {#Cry}

Not bad but not quite as artful or original as Kronos Quartet

I think the appropriate one is that last one you mentioned.

Ok, *could* be a love song. I still need some PIL after listening to this.
