Apocalyptica have shared the video below featuring their performance pf Metallica’s “For Whom The Bell Tolls” at their concert in Brussels, Belgium on November 12, 2024.
Apocalyptica launched their North American tour on February 6, in Washington, DC. The “Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol. 2 Tour” features support from guitar virtuoso, Nita Strauss. They wrap it up tonight (March 8) in Houston, TX at Bayou Music Center
Formed in 1993 at the world-renowned Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland, Apocalyptica began as a loving, lo-fi nod to Metallica from four classically trained musicians. Their debut album, Plays Metallica By Four Cellos, released in 1996, was a game-changer. As founding band leader Eicca Toppinen explains, “We just loved Metallica and we wanted to play it with the instruments we were able to play, which just happened to be cellos. We played a metal club in Helsinki, and then we were asked to do an album. Five months after it was released, we were opening for Metallica. It’s still unbelievable to me.”
Fast forward to today, and Apocalyptica has released eight rapturously received records, sold six million albums, and toured relentlessly. Now, they continue their unique homage to Metallica with Plays Metallica, Vol. 2, featuring powerful collaborations with Metallica members and using original tracks from the legendary Cliff Burton. The album came out June 7, 2024 to rave reviews.
