About

In the tradition of heavy metal, only a handful of artists can claim to have changed history, and even fewer can claim to have done so twice.

Formed in 1993 at the renowned Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Apocalyptica began as a loving homage to Metallica by four classical musicians who had no greater ambition than to explore the music of their favourite band on their chosen instrument. As band leader Eicca Toppinnen explains, the project took on a life of its own when they finally released Plays Metallica By Four Cellos in 1996.

‘We liked Metallica and wanted to play them on the instruments we could play, which happened to be cellos,’ he says. ‘We played in a metal club in Helsinki and then they asked us to make an album and we thought they were joking. Like, who listens to this stuff on record? And then five months after its release we were opening for Metallica. It's still unbelievable to me.’

Unbeknownst to Apocalyptica, they had just boarded a rocket that would fly them through 8 enthusiastically acclaimed records, a staggering 6 million records sold, and a relentless touring schedule that would see them take their music to every time zone and countless festival stages around the world.

More importantly, the band has evolved and grown beyond the boundaries of their beginnings as an affectionate tribute to Metallica, establishing themselves as talented songwriters in their own right. Apocalyptica has collaborated with artists such as Ville Valo of HIM, Bullet For My Valentine, Till Lindemann of Rammstein, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Dave Lombardo of Slayer and Mr. Bungle, and Robert Trujillo of Metallica, among many others.
