Album Pick: The Best of Apocalyptica

If you're a fan of metal and classical music then this is the perfect band for you. Apocalyptica is a cello band, that's right, it's just 4 guys with cellos playing heavy metal music. They do a lot of covers of Metallica as well as some original work. This best of compilation is a good starter for anyone who might want to start listening to the band. With other albums, I've found that I either really like or really dislike a particular song, but every track on the best of is pretty good. You'll notice cover versions of popular Metallica songs such as "Nothing Else Matters," "The Unforgiven," and "Enter Sandman." It's really cool to hear the cello take over for the electric guitar and vocals. You listen to a song like Nothing Else Matters and forget it was written as a heavy metal song. This album is a must for any Metallica fan and a good choice for fans of a classical sound with a strong metal influence. Check it out!
