Apocalyptica are pleased to announce a stunning follow-up to their legendary debut album. "Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol. 2" will continue the journey that began in 1996, when cellists from the world-famous Sibelius Academy in Helsinki played a symphonic tribute to the greatest of the big four - heavy metal titans Metallica. For their ninth album, the classically oriented dynamos return to their roots to bring a legendary story full circle. There are also a number of surprises, starting with a unique collaboration.
