Apocalyptica

[diaryofjane]

Now Apocalyptica is a group from Findland, and they play the cello and have guest singers. My favorite song is I Don't Care feat. Adam Gontier who is the lead singer of Three Days Grace.

"I Don't Care" is a great song. Adam Gontier & Apocalyptica make a great collaboration. The Collide album is really good. A lot different then their previous stuff but you have vocalists like Cristina Scabbia (<333333) and Corey Taylor that lend their voices on some of the songs. ^^

My favorite album of theirs to this day would be Cult. I love the instrumental versions of Hope, Romance, and Path. The vocal version of Path is pretty good too. I love how they do this beat box beat and fuse it with the cellos in certain parts.

I would love to see them live though one day. Especially to hear their Metallica covers that "Enter Sandman".

I haven't listened to all that much of them, but I do quite like them. I think they have quite an original sound as far as metal goes.

Not my usual listening material, but every now and then I'll turn some on. I think my most played song by them is "Bittersweet".

Apocalyptica are great. Using cellos adds such a different sound and they have such a commanding stage presence. When they go on stage everyone knows it. Their songs keep going from strength to strength also. Especially now when their profile is increasing and they get more famous guest singers.
My only gripe is that if they mix the cellos too much like guitars the point is almost lost as the sound would then be replicable by guitar.
My favourite song is Life Burns featuring Lauri Ylönen form the Rasmus, im not a fan of the Rasmus, but that song gets be going everytime and its great to drive to^^
All in all a really good band. Go see them live....NOW!!!

I haven't heard that much of Apocalyptica. The only thing that I heard was their Metallica covers, and I'm pretty sure I heard a few Iron Maiden covers (The Trooper, maybe?). They're great musicians. I can't say that they have great taste in music, considering that they did an entire Metallica cover album, but at least their covers were better than the original songs. I heard that they started to do original songs, but I just don't care enough about cellos to actually take the time to listen to any original material. I'm sure it's good, considering that their covers were good.

I also love Bittersweet. They're really good.

[some guy]

I like them a fair bit, but I've only really seen them do Metallica covers, and I so I can only put in very little into this discussion. But I have to say I don't really like the cello trying to imitate someones voice.

[Sleeping Lionheart]

since three days grace is one of my favorite bands i love "i dont care"

[sandman]

I love their music and especially songs performed by Metallica , Enter Sandman is my favorite one.
They were performing on EXIT Festival in my country but I couldn't be there to hear them. Great music and great musicians.

[Storm]

I love them! I was lucky enough to see them live at Download festival back in June and was blown away. One of the members said "we can't rock but we sure can headbang!" I think they do rock, and they can bloody well headbang!

I'm not sure what my favorite song is. I really love Helden, Peace, S.O.S (Anything But Love), and I'm Not Jesus. Although i've heard songs from other albums, I only own Worlds Collide.

[Musashiden]

I think they're a nifty idea, but frankly I'm not fond of them. They just seems like they took a great idea and made it very generic sounding.

[zodiark12]

I like the songs I've heard from them namely on the worlds collide cd. Those are the only ones so far. They did a great song with the lacuna coil lead singer (song 10) a little slow but her voice goes great with the instruments.

[CooLBye]

Apocalyptica is ever the best i listen

I'm not a massive fan of their own stuff, but their Metallica covers are awesome. I love their cover of Creeping Death. I don't like how they have guest singers, and I would like them so much more if they had a full time singer of their own.

[Josh_R]

I am not a huge fan of theirs. some of their stuff is ok, but overall I do not enjoy their music. I liked their song they did with Corey Taylor, but that is just cause I enjoy Corey Taylor's music...

[Heartless Angel]

Apocalyptica is f---ing amazing. I don't care much for the guest vocals usually, though their performace with Tony Kakko was epic. My favorite Apocalyptica song would have to be Kaamos.
