"Plays Metallica Vol. 2" live in concert! We’re excited to bring more of our favorite Metallica songs to the stage in our very own cello-metal interpretations. Check out our homepage for all dates & tickets. 🎥: photojockeyrockpix

19 years ago, we released our album "Worlds Collide". And somewhere along the way, the world chose its favorite. We’re incredibly grateful that "I Don’t Care" feat. Adam Gontier has found its way into many cello-metal hearts and become our most listened-to song of all time. 🖤🤘

Break the rules. Challenge the boundaries. That’s the Apocalyptica spirit. 🤘 For three decades, we’ve been using our cellos where they’re not necessarily expected and in ways they were MAYBE never meant to be used. 😎 The full video is on Patreon.  #Apocalyptica #CelloMetal

Ever wondered why our cellos sound the way they do? Paavo’s about to reveal the secret! 🤘 #Apocalyptica #CelloMetal #Cello

Five years ago, the moon turned venomous. 🌙🤘 We’re looking back at this collaboration with our friends from The Rasmus. A song where we opened ourselves up sonically & brought two worlds together. Give it a listen & celebrate 5 years of “Venomous Moon”! 🤘 📸: Venla Shalin

And that’s a wrap on festival season. 🤘 So many beautiful nights with our cellos. Thanks to everyone who came out, sang along, headbanged with us, and helped make summer 2026 so amazing. Until next time. Because you know how it is: APOCALYPTICA WILL BE BACK! 🤘 #Apocalyptica
