Hi Worsedale

There are no vocals on the Apocalyptica CD, just four cellos. The music was surprising and had levels of complexity I hadn't expected from something with Heavy Metal origins.

I have no idea what the original Metallica tracks sound like - most conventional Heavy Metal sounds like construction work to me.

I used to think that Heavy Metal was just unmitigated crap until I came across a group called Apocalyptica, and their first CD: "plays Metallica by four cellos". It was the first time I'd actually heard the variation and quality of the music instead of the clash-bang of over-done bass levels. I'd recommend the CD to anyone who has doubts about the potential of Heavy Metal.

(But I still hate car radios and those people who think I should be listening along with them to their iPods.)


Apocalyptica is amazing! I like their versions of the songs better than the originals. I'm not a Metallica fan, but I give Metallica credit for introducing me to the genre.
