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

This was the very first song I ever heard from Apocalyptica, I never forgot the shock and awe I experienced at that time and decades later it's still one of my favorite songs from them.

Sin necesidad de un vocabulista, guitarrista o baterista, esta banda, esa de las mejores que he escuchado. Inspiradores, relajadores en ocasiones o hasta motivadores son las sinfonías que estos grandes hombres hacen. No me quedan más palabras para poder describir esta grandiosa banda.
