APOCALYPTICA- "Cello- O"

APOCALYPTICA- "Cello- O"

A fine return to form, performing self composed material for the Finnish Classical trained metal heads. The album is a real joy for the ears. In my opinion songs like "Ashes of the modern world", "En route to Mayhem" and "Catharsis"  could be the ideal soundtrack for series like Chernobyl, while "Rise" can resurrect the dead, with its animal power.. A dark, powerful,instrumental in its entity album with a strong emotional impact as cellos are replacing the lamenting metal guitars in an ego trip to modern worlds hell. Bombastic in places, really introvert in to the others, this is a prime piece of Cello driven metal music for the masses. You don’t have to have  classical music education to enjoy their music.

 The power of these musicians is the immensity of their music. An album I’ve enjoyed the last months to accompany me in good and not so good times. They may not reinvent the steel and astonishing us as they did the first times, but they prove them selves as musicians with maturity, talent and longevity.
