Peace ~ Apocalyptica   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info In addition to laying claim to being (most likely) the world's only heavy metal band composed entirely of cellists, Apocalyptica are also compulsively listenable. The group's sixth studio album continues their trend of dramatic, intense ensemble work that veers from sweeping lyricism to thunderous staccato riffing. Slayer's Dave Lombardo contributes drum work, upping the intensity considerably. Other guests include vocalists Christina Scabia, Corey Taylor, and Till Lindermann from Rammstein (who sings a German-language version of David Bowie's "Heroes"). Overall, WORLDS COLLIDE is a satisfying head-warp from these genre-smashing Swedes.   Artist Overview Formed by four like-minded cellists to create bizarre, wraithlike covers of heavy metal giants, Apocalyptica were an unlikely act to forge a lasting career. Yet over a decade after its debut CD, 1996's self-explanatory APOCALYPTICA PLAYS METALLICA BY FOUR CELLOS, took college radio by storm, the Finnish outfit were selling out arenas and scoring major rock hits. Far from a gimmick doomed to wear thin, Apocalyptica's cello rock dexterously explores the connection and chasm between classical and metal, balancing majestic, intricate covers with dark originals.
