Apocalyptica, founded in 1993 at the prestigious Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, began as a bold experiment: four classical cellists breathing new life into the powerful sound of Metallica. Their debut, Plays Metallica By Four Cellos, unexpectedly became a worldwide phenomenon. Eight albums and collaborations with icons like Ville Valo, Till Lindemann, and Corey Taylor followed. With Plays Metallica, Vol. 2, they go even further, this time joined by Metallica’s own Rob Trujillo. Apocalyptica bridges the gap between classical passion and metal intensity – proving that boundaries exist to be broken.
