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

Why does this song always make you wanna do the "DIE DIE DIE DIE" part no matter how it's done up and always makes ya headbang even though this version is pretty much all Cello and Violin.......
Top 10 Dylan
Probably cuz it's one of the heaviest riffs ever written
klitlikas wtfzone
lol Violin... where?
Samuel Mauldin
@klitlikas wtfzone it's there it's tuned lower than usual though, you can hear it, but it's like tuned to a D it sounds like, it's like black sabbath tuned so to speak (most of their songs are in a D key, usually a low D)
klitlikas wtfzone
@Samuel Mauldin oh?
(Gojira fan, so pretty keen on DGCF least when playing BASS so i get ya... still thought they were purely cello... is this throughout the track... been years since listening to it with headphones, that might help i suppose)
