Free Music Notes for Apocalyptica
Free Music Review: If only Cello could feed your hunger...
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the first album of Apocalyptica that i own. It is very satisfying! and like i said...if only Cello could feed your hunger...this one will definetely will!
The first single from this album is called 'Bittersweet', which is so damn good!!! Not only the sounds of the Cello will move you, but also the duet vocals of, featuring Ville Vallo (the lead singer of The Rasmus of Finland), and the Laurie guy (i forgot his anme..sorry), sounds AMAZING.Note that if you like Til Lindemann of Rammstein's vocal,then you'll love Laurie's too!! The Rasmus dude really sings his heart out....which is why the song is so pure with feelings..and i am telling you the feeling is heavy and for sure this song will stick to your head!**Watch the video clip too because it's beautiful!**
'Ruska' is so freakin' amazing!! The song is not Metal like any other songs in the album, it is more towards instrumental with no Heavy Metal sounds to it. But it doesn't made this song bad at all! The Cello and background beat is simply great! Same goes to "Deathzone", but it's more Metal like this time..
Want real heavy metal clashed with classical?? You have got to listen to 'Quutamo'.... OMG,it's full of attitude and so damn GOOD!!!One of my favourites,of course!
But you cant miss the non-instrumental version of 'Quutamo'.. I have no idea who sang it, but all i can tell you is that the vocalist is a female and she sangs in French if i am not mistaken.. Ok, so maybe i am wrong..maybe it's finnish *but i still think it's french*, who cares..all im saying is that you should listen to that particular song! If that dont appear on your song list on the album, then switch to the last song of the album, Deathzone *right?!*, and wait for the 6th minute and 30 seconds of that song.. I know it's already ended, but wait for it...and that version of 'Quutamo',ladies and gentleman,will play! Trust me!
Anyway,this album is not only for Heavy metal/rock lovers..but also for those with Classical ears!

I first heard of Apocalyptica from one of my teachers in high school, and was immediately interested. This was the first album I bought on iTunes, and now they are one my favorite bands ever! Here are the highlight songs:
1. Quuatmo- First song I ever listened to by them! Slow and melodic, but slowly picks up and finishes great.
2. Distraction- A faster track that totally screams "creativity"
3. Bittersweet- Another song with guests H.I.M. and The Rasmus singers; the video is interesting, but a haunting song nonetheless.
4. Misconstruction & Fisheye- with guest drummer Dave Lombardo that brings these dark, heavy tracks to life!
5. Farewell- Simply a slow, beautiful song with a bit of classical taste.
6. Misconstruction & Fisheye- with guest drummer Dave Lombardo that brings these dark, heavy tracks to life. Possibly two of the best ones on the album.
7. Ruska- My FAVORITE on the album! This song, with its slow, graceful tone, really helps me think during homework or with my creativity.
The bonus, 10 minute track is quite good, though it surprised me that it was two songs in one. The second one is Quuatmo with lyrics (probably in French), and the better half I think...
I have no idea how they do it, but they sure have an amazing well of creativity and taste. I usually ignored cellos in concerts or classical songs, but after listening to them, no way! I'm excited to see them live, and can't wait to complete more of their masterpiece albums!

I came across this band seeing them listed on a forum and decided to check their music out. All i can say its better late then never. This is the first release that i've heard from them, so i can't conclude on whether this is their finest work to date yet. Upon first listening it strikes you all at once and it makes it hard to describe their music. They seem to mix Classical music with Metal, you wouldn't think it could work, but they do it perfectly. Most the songs are instrumentals that sometimes have great melodies using cellos and others just straight out rock. I'm not usually that big on instrumentals but, this is an exception. You can almost feel the emotion put into these songs, they really don't need lyrics. Songs such as "Bittersweet" or "Farewell" and many others show some of the most raw emotion i've seen in a while, which is something that is lacking in the majority of the music coming out these days. This group from Helsinki, Finland is definitely a band to watch out for in the near future. This ranks up there as one of my top cds for 2005.Free Music Review: Another journey through Apocalyptica's emotional dreamscape
Hit: 5 Stars
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 together exceptionally well. There are particular harmonies that carry through much of the album. When it is played in order, the album is an engaging event, taking the mind away into Apocalyptica's complex world of intermixing genres. The album has a few slow songs, which although original, beg the listener to remember where they know those sounds from: Bittersweet, Faraway Ruska are the three that have stuck with me. Then there are some hardcore industrial sounds in Fisheye and Betrayal/Forgiveness that take slightly different angles than the hardcore songs on Reflections.
This is such a good album, I have no problems listening to it through and through a few times in a row, since it is such a rewarding, emotional experience.
Free Music Review: Nothing short of a MASTERPIECE!!!

I had no idea who this band was or where they were from until not more that 4 months ago did a friend of mine have one of their songs (Farewell, which happens to be my favorite song on this album) playing on his computer and I was instantly amazed. This band has something that is not heard here in the US which is the unique blend of symphony and rock. The most amazing thing is that, while some of these tracks have lyrics, they are simply not needed because the cellos playing through the guitars and drums sing their own song. This CD is simply amazing! I learned shortly there after that Apocalyptica has made a tribute CD for some hit Mettalica songs, again without lyrics, only a quartet of cellos, and again they cellos sings the lyrics beautifully. I don't recommend this group to just rock or symphony fans...but to all music listeners. Anyone that listens to this CD will be instantly compelled.
