I had only heard some of the inquisition symphony tracks when I got this one as a gift. It's much better, more rock-like, some songs more metal, I really enjoy it. How can you go wrong, it's rock cello! I liked it enought that I'm also buying Reflections.

This album is great! Better than relfections in my oinion. They put vocals on three tracks.. Life Burns!, Bittersweet and the secret track. And they're awesome. If you like the vocal additions, listen to Path Vol. 2 featuring Sandra Nasic (guano apes) it's amazing. Similar to reflections but taken a step further in terms of greatness, they're perfecting their sound and I'm not sure if it can get any better than this. This is my favourite album, hands down even though I had a lot of doubt before I heard it but it's fantastic! Oh and i got to see them live too in Vancouver. The show was mind boggling. Antero manninen was there and he was great as were Paavo, Perttu and Eicca. I believe Mikko Siren was the drummer (not sure cause they never mentioned his name) but he was fantastic, especially on somewhere around nothing (previously a dave lombardo track). They played bittersweet, life burns and the secret song while Antero Manninen played the cello equivalent of the vocals. Great show, great album, great band.

I saw these guys live at the Opera house in Toronto, and honestly . . .it was the best live show I've ever seen. There was 40 year old business men with their wives, and metal heads, and people that looked like they belonged at the opera . . .no joke. I can't even describe what these musicians can do with cellos, but the crowd at their show pretty well serves as a description of their music. You won't believe your ears.
But . . .this is pretty intense and dramatic CD. At once heavy metal, glam rock, classical, and a bunch of other stuff. The truth is, that it kinda defies classification, and is better for it. This album has songs with guest singers, and also purely instrumental songs, going from singer to harmony cello from song to song.
The music is VERY melodic, even in the heavier, faster songs. If you are looking for an amazingly different sound, and some truly well composed music, you can't beat Apocalyptica. And if you EVER get the chance to see them live, pay up to $200/ticket . . .they are that good live.

Another journey through Apocalyptica's emotional dreamscape
This is my favourite album thus far released by wicked classical/heavy-metal band Apocalyptica. The album is diverse, akin to Reflections, but I'd say that this album is tied... Read more

They done it again...
The new opus of Apocalyptica is awesome, in direct line of Reflections, their previous CD. Once again there is a drummer with the celloists and is very heavy metal but with cello. Read more
