We're all mad here.
Default Apocalyptica   #1  
So I heard of these guys through my brother when he played for me their cover of Metallica's "One" and it was one of the more interesting things I've heard in a while. I'm not an uberfan, but I do like their stuff and I'm curious if anyone else here is fond of them as well.

For those who aren't familiar with the group, Apocalyptica is a Finnish cello band that plays heavy metal. Their first album was "Plays Metallica by Four Cellos." It sounds surprising but it works out really well. They've since added a drummer and guest guitar players but I still prefer the straight up cellos.

I'd love to see them live. I hear it's great fun but I keep missing out for one reason or another. Oh well. Anyone else have stuff to say about these guys? Like them? Don't like them? Appreciate the artistic endeavour? Think it's butchery to classical music? It's all fair. :)
