My New Obsession...

Is Apocalyptica. Oh. My. God. This Finnish Cello Metal band is so different from anything out there, they are completely awesome! From their instrumentals to the colaberations with other great artists - including Adam Gauntner from Three Days Grace, Nina Hagen and Cristina Scabbia and their guest lead singer for their US tour last year, Toryn Green ( Read more... )

I was introduced to this group a few years ago, and fell in love, they are so very very good

Absolutely! I feel like I've been living under a rock not to have heard of them prior to last December. But then... I am in Milwaukee where the radio stations only play what's popular.

Hard rock cello, that is certainly different. I like it.

OOooh it's awesome! If you like hard rock - you'll love this. :D

Rammstein did it so much better. But, then again, Seemann is one of my favorite Rammstein songs, so it seems weird to me without Till singing, and I am thus really biased.

I may look around for other songs from Apocalyptica, though. I thought 30 Seconds to Mars sucked when I heard them the first time, and it was just that I happened to hear one of their worst songs...then later I stumbled upon some of their other stuff and realized I loved them. Same thing happened with Gackt. So you never know...

Hey Jaimie. :D

Apoc originally recorded this with Nina Hagen doing the vocals - scary German lady with big freaky eyes. This is the best I've heard the instrumental. They have toured with Rammstein in 2005 and there is a You Tube of them backing them up in Paris on Mein Herz Brennt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTLjJdXcvXY - Fantastic. Also, on their last album, Till did singing duty on the song Helden by David Bowie - Also Awesome! If you want more examples - check out my My Space page. ;)

Cool! Thanks for the links. I found a couple of videos of them doing Ohne Dich together (also in my top ten favorite Rammstein songs), but the sound was craptastic. :( I could barely hear it and there was too much distortion, but it sounded like it would have been good if the quality on youtube were higher. I'll see if I can get the MP3 of Helden, though. Mmm...Till...

You're welcome. :D I've found a couple of other videos on YouTube that are more fan made videos for Helden. I don't think they ever officially made a video for that song.

I just love all of their music - so different and unique. Plus they are awfully cute. ;) Always a plus. :p
