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.

I found this group by accident thanks to the groups 2cellos and Nightwish. I have now started adding all their albums to my playlist. The thought of cellos playing metal was great and I love the neo-classical sounds of the music.

wow. i nearly forgot how much i loved apocalyptica. used to listen to this album back when i was on my way to school. i remember imagining epic anime style battles with two equally powerful super beings while listening to these sounds. now i'm a bit older (10 years or so) an i still feel the epicness in the music.
