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

Hacen sonar el cello como guitarras eléctrica. Fucking very nace!!!
Joe
Cette musique est incroyable.😊👌 Pourquoi ; me diriez-vous? Eh bien tout simplement et si vous écoutez bien cette musique; on ne peut pas nier que c'est de l'art. C'est vraiment du génie de faire des riffs comme à la guitare électrique et surtout que cette musique est jouée seulement qu'avec des violoncelles. Honnêtement; je suis sidéré et admiratif. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤😉👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Dave Lombardo's drumming is an essential part of this album. Notice should be taken.
