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.
Members:
Eicca Toppinen - Cello
Perttu Kivilaakso - Cello
Paavo Lötjönen - Cello
Mikko Sirén - Drums
Former members:
Sami Kuoppamäki - Session Drums
Perttu Kivilaakso - Cello (1995)
Antero Manninen – Cello (1996–1999, usually plays live)
Max Lilja – Cello (1996–2002, when he joined Hevein)
Dave Lombardo - Drums [session member] (2003-2004, from the band Slayer. Also contributed drums on the songs Betrayal/Forgiveness, Last Hope and 2010 from 7th Symphony)

I've been listening to it for two days straight. XD I love the songs that has a cello overlaying the background music as if it was doing the vocals. Actually, I love Apocalyptica in general. There's one thing that has been bothering me though... the music, especially it's chorus, TERRIBLY remind me of another song. Could anyone tell me whether it's a cover, or perhaps strongly inspired by an already existing musical piece? It gives me a feeling of deja vu, as if I've already heard it before...
