They started in 1993 by playing covers of Metallica, but once the concept became popular they wrote their own original works, maintaining the thrash metal influences on their albums Inquisition Symphony (mainly covers as well) and Cult. Since Reflections they have added drums to their recordings and live performances.

The first song by Apocalyptica I listened to, and to this day my favorite.

@bytemeah Mine was the cover for "For Whom The Bell Tolls".. what a starter.. , but that entire covers album opened new horizons for me.

This song is so fucking haunting. It's gothic at its finest.

Very Epic! Good for work!
I like original Apocalyptica tracks much more than covers.
Apocalyptica, please, make more your own music! Much more! =)
