CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Take four cellos, mix with a quartet of Finnish classical-music students who possess a note-for-note knowledge of metal giants Metallica, and beat gently. Viola! You have a truly stirring album that provides tangible evidence of the dramatic passages and intricate arrangements that classical music and heavy metal share. On "Enter Sandman" and "Creeping Death," the exquisite playing of the cellists intensifies the darkness and emotion of Metallica. In the process the strength and versatility of the group's songwriting is given more credence. Perhaps the most remarkable element of the album is the faithfulness that's shown to the original songs, right down to faultlessly following the vocal melodies. With Plays Metallica by Four Cellos, Apocalyptica have proved that the universal language of good music is unbound by genre. Here is a clever concept brilliantly realized. --Steffan Chirazi Similar CDs

CD ReviewsFantastic Liz Padilla | torrance, ca United States | 12/16/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "these guys do with 4 instruments what metallica sucked at with an entire orchastra.
you can tell easily exactly what song it is. each cello harbors the melodies that are used by each of the members of metallica, including percussion. for any real metallica fan, the songs, not sure if they are on this specific album (the may be on inquisition symphony) but the quintessential metallica songs, "fade to black" and "nothing else matters" will just about make you cry because they are just so beautiful. this band does go on to do origionals down the line, my favorite being quottmo (i think that's how it's spelled...) which is just gorgeous. they are also a fantastic live show (i've seen them twice, and plan to see them more) that is power packed. you haven't seen a metal concert till you've seen 3 guys headbanging while playing their cellos! the closed once with "peter and the wolf" and i was blown away. it's also a show that you can take the entire family to. when we went, it was my bf and i, my brothers, and mom, and there were other families there that had 3 generations with them. parents, grantparents, children. i met people at the concert who were classicly trained cellists and loved them (the cellists in the band are all classicly trained) and also saw bam margera from jack*ss and a few porn stars. basicly, good times were had by all. if you love classical music, metallica, or rock in general, there is no possible way to go wrong with them." |
