In the vein of last weeks Classical Metal, I present to you: Apocalyptica. Instead of classical music with metal instruments, metal music with classical instruments! While they’ve been around for a while and mostly cover metallica songs, Apocalyptica is a pretty awesome band which you should check out.

From their Wikipedia page:

Apocalyptica is a Finnish rock band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 1993. The band is composed of classically trained cellists and, since 2003, a drummer. Three of the cellists are graduates of the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland. Their music features elements from classical music, neo-classical metal, symphonic metal and thrash metal.

Fade to Black

And a favorite:
Seemann (cover) feat. Nina Hagen.
