Apocalyptica Profile

Back to Black

Attacking crowds with a unique version of metal, closing the gap between Metallica and Shostakovich, these dark and broody Finnish boys mix it up with a bit of goth-metal and some classical influences too. Their last album saw guests like Max Cavalera of Soulfly and Sepultura fame, Ville Vallo of HIM and Sandra Nasic of skate punksters the Guano Apes all bringing their skills into the mix. The new album is set to feature some even more exciting talent this time with collaborations lined up from the rawk goddess Christina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil), legendary drummer Dave Lombardo (Slayer) and Adam Gontier (3 Days Grace). Corey Taylor (Slipknot) features on their latest single, 'I'm not Jesus', which mixes an industrial type sound, interspersed with shouting vocals and a real stoner guitar riff. Dark stuff, so get out your cape and fly along on the breeze that is, Apocalyptica.
