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 piece of music is simply a work of a genius!
The music was excitin' surprisin', clever, and even amusin', I'd even say.
Antonio Vivaldi hiself would be proud.
Real proud.
Annie Hernandez
I will dream to see this song performed live and withour drums some day.

With the risk of seeming edgy, this to me literally sounds like the feeling of trying to contain pure anger and rage. Just listen: In the beginning its "Now I'm fuckin' mad". Over the course of the song it's "Keep it together, man! I CAN'T DO IT! Just focus and keep it together!". Then at the end "Dear God, it's finally over...".
