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.

Eicca Toppinen - Cello
Perttu Kivilaakso - Cello
Paavo Lötjönen - Cello

I think Reflections is their most cohesive album to listen to as a whole, but more of their best songs are on other releases. Thank you for posting this. ^_^
