in Helsinki) and drummer Mikko Sirén
. Originally a Metallica
tribute band, their music borrows elements from many genres including classical music
, neo-classical metal
, post-grunge
, progressive metal
, thrash metal
, and symphonic metal
. They have sold over four million albums to date.
, Paavo Lötjönen
, Max Lilja
, and Antero Manninen
gathered to play Metallica
covers at Sibelius Academy
. In 1996, Apocalyptica released their debut studio album
, Plays Metallica by Four Cellos
, which consisted solely of Metallica
covers played on cellos. They were later featured on two songs on the Waltari
album Space Avenue
in 1997. In 1998, Apocalyptica released their second studio album, Inquisition Symphony
, which was produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa. Inquisition Symphony once again contained covers of Metallica, but also contained covers of Faith No More
, Sepultura
, and Pantera
. For this album the band also decided to include three original songs written by Eicca Toppinen.
In 1999, Antero Manninen left the group, and was replaced by Perttu Kivilaakso
who had appeared in the line-up already in 1995. In 2000, Apocalyptica released their third studio album, Cult
, which featured 10 original songs, and 3 covers. Soon after the recording of Cult
, the first Apocalyptica track featuring vocals was released, "Path Vol. 2
". In 2002, Max Lilja left the group and joined Hevein, leaving Apocalyptica with only three members.
In 2003, Apocalyptica released their fourth studio album, Reflections
, which consisted for the first time of all original songs. Reflections featured a more experimental sound, instead of the previous acoustic style arrangements found on Inquisition Symphony and Cult. Dave Lombardo
from Slayer
played drums on five songs from Reflections, with session drummer Sami Kuoppamäki
playing on the rest of the songs. As Lombardo was unable to join the band on stage on the following tour, the band hired Mikko Sirén, who would stay with the band for future tours as well as the recording of the next album.
In 2005, Apocalyptica released their fifth studio album, Apocalyptica
. This album featured a number of guest musicians including Ville Valo
of HIM, Lauri Ylönen
of The Rasmus
, and once again Dave Lombardo. They also recorded the Intro for Bullet For My Valentine
's album The Poison
.
In December 2005 Mikko Sirén was announced as an official band member after having played around 200 shows with the band.

's song "Heroes". Till Lindemann
of Rammstein
, for whom they opened on the Reise, Reise tour, was the guest vocalist on the track "Helden". Worlds Collide
was released on April 15, 2008 in the United States. The first single "I'm Not Jesus
" featuring Corey Taylor
of Slipknot
and Stone Sour
from the "Worlds Collide" album cracked the top 10 of both the Active rock
and Alternative rock

". Later that month, the band ranked 3rd at Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Track chart and 2nd at Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart just after AC/DC
, and just ahead of Metallica
, an ironic twist, due to their origins performing Metallica covers. Recently, it reached No. 1 on the Billboard rock chart, making Apocalyptica the first Finnish band to top the US charts. The song "I Don't Care" was also featured in the 16th episode of season 8 of the TV series Smallville
, which aired on March 19, 2009.
The seventh Apocalyptica studio album entitled 7th Symphony

, who had previously collaborated
with the band. Slayer
drummer Dave Lombardo
plays on "2010", "Bring Them to Light" features Joseph Duplantier
, singer and guitarist of the French death metal band Gojira
, "Broken Pieces" is a cooperation with Flyleaf
singer Lacey Mosley
, and "Not Strong Enough" is sung by Brent Smith
(Shinedown
).
"Broken Pieces" and "Not Strong Enough" were released as the second and third singles from the album. Due to distribution rights on Smith's vocals, "Not Strong Enough" was re-recorded with Doug Robb of Hoobastank
before being released to US radio on January 18, 2011.
