Ok, to tell you the truth I haven't been listening to Apocalyptica for years like I have been with some other bands, but I have listened to a good handful of their songs for as long as I can remember. This song is awesome, and I'll post another one which is my favorite song they've done.

Apocalyptica are from Helsinki, Finland and is composed of classically trained cellists and a drummer. Since they formed in 1993 they've come across a multitude of "band members." Antero Manninen and Max Lilja (both cellists) were members up until 1999 and 2002. Among session players such as Dave Lombardo of Slayer, Apocalyptica is known for their guest vocalists. They range from Corey Taylor of Slipknot/Stone Sour (on the song "I'm Not Jesus"), to Till Lindemann from Rammstein (on the song "Helden"), to Ville Valo of HIM (on the song "Bittersweet" [which also features the vocals of Lauri Ylönen from the band The Rasmus]).
