Apocalyptica

For accomplished Finnish metal cellists Apocalyptica, this sixth studio effort further signifies how standard six-string shredding is no match for the mastery of the four strings. Nine all-instrumental crushers are separated by a peppering of powerful, radio-ready alt metal tracks featuring renowned metal vocalists Corey Taylor of Slipknot ("I'm Not Jesus"), Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil ("S.O.S"), Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace ("I Don't Care") and Till Lindemann of Rammstein ("Helden," a gloomy cover of the German version of David Bowie's "Heroes").
