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.

Esta obra maestra es maravillosa. Ya hace poco más de 3 semanas que los vi en concierto, y puedo decir que sí, son canciones hermosas, pero al no haberlos visto antes en concierto, no imaginé lo hermoso que sonarían. Sentí un cúmulo de emociones, son músicos muy virtuosos, México los apoya queridos Apocalyptica!!
Aguante Apocalyptica!!

This music makes me want for someone to break my heart so I can listen to it and revel in the sadness.

I don't kno' wat' it is about this song, but I get so emotional every single time I hear it! When I saw Apocalyptica play in Toronto in 2015, I bawled my head off when I heard Farewell 'live'..... I felt the passion, the love, the magic..... Paavo saw me with tears streaming down my face & gave me the set-list after the show! I will always be grateful to him & Apocalyptica for sharing the beauty of their music with us, the fans! <3
