Until a couple of months ago, I would have never thought of a cello as a heavy metal instrument.
Then my friend Krista posted this video on her Facebook page.
Since then, “Romance” has become the latest Andy Dufresne song in my collection, and it comes from the most unlikely place. Apocalyptica is made up of four classically trained cellists from Finland. The band originally started as a Metallica tribute band…on cello.
I have always said that metal is the closet descendant of classical music and opera. This band proves it.
I’m currently absorbing this song, and the album from which it came, “Cult”. I’ll let you know more about it when I come down.
As with many Andy Dufresne songs, I just don’t have the words, so I won’t try.
