10:45 pm - Introducing Apocalyptica
Right, so I've been busy writing. I tend to write mostly in fanfiction; that is, tales constructed around other ideas/ scenarios/ characters presented in films, TV, books, etc. I write a fair deal around the characters of The Mighty Boosh, but of late I've been working on a silly tale fantastic for a rock band.
I got into these guys pretty recently, but I really like what they do, the fact that they aren't so HUGE that things have got daft; I admire their skill (they are all Sibelius Academy trained musicians), their sense of humour and good spirit. They come from Finland and they are called Apocalyptica.
They stared as a Metallica tribute band while still studying; playing gigs on the side. They decided to finish studying, and while at least two of them have contracts with national orchestras, they decided to make a go of the band. They play rock and roll and heavy metal as well as sweet ballads; and they make this amazing metal sound on cellos. I kid you not.
I never realsied you could headbang while playing a cello.
So, to give a taster as further background to presenting this tale, here are some clips of them in action:
And early Metallica cover; Nothing Else Matters
A fine example oif their own rock work: Somewhere Around Nothing
Proving you can rock the classics In The Hall Of The Mountain King
Another original composition; Path
And one of my favourites; Farewell
Ok, introductions: The chap with long blonde hair is Eicca, the guy with very short cropped dark hair and goatee is Paavo. The dude who plays with them sometimes in dark glasses is Antero and the long, dark haired chappie (in some videos from a few years back shoulder-length blond-ish hair) is Perttu (and he wrote Farewell). Oh! And I forgot to add orginally, poor lad! The drummer is Mikko!
Right, next post begins my tale...
