APOCALYPTICA/CULT

Descripción

VINYL LP PRESSING. SINCE THEY FORMED IN 1993FINNISH ORCHESTRAL ROCK BAND APOCALYPTICA HAS RELEASED EIGHT STUDIO ALBUMS FEATURING NUMEROUS CELLO-BASED INSTRUMENTALS ALONG WITH SOME VOCAL-BASED SONGS. WHATEVER STYLES THEYVE EXPLORED - FROM ATMOSPHERIC INTERLUDES TO FASTBATTERING RHYTHMS - THEIR MUSIC HAS BEEN GRIPPINGDYNAMIC AND FULL OF MELODY. IN ORDER TO REMAIN RELEVANT AFTER TWO ALBUMS OF MOSTLY COVERSAPOCALYPTICA KNEW THEY HAD TO MAKE SOME CHANGES. SOFOR THEIR 2000 ALBUM CULT THEY ONLY INCLUDED THREE COVERS THE REST WERE EICCA TOPPINEN ORIGINALS. ALSOTHE BAND BROUGHT IN VOCALISTS SANDRA NASIC AND MATTHIAS SAYER TO SING ON TWO OF THE SONGS. THE ALBUM DIDNT SIT WELL WITH THEIR RECORD LABELHOWEVERWHICH WANTED ANOTHER FULL ALBUM OF METAL COVERS. FORTUNATELYAPOCALYPTICAS CONTRACT HAD EXPIRED AND THE LABEL DIDNT PICK UP THEIR OPTION IN TIME. THEY WANTED CRAZY COVER VERSIONS OF MOTORHEAD AND AC/DCAND WE ENDED UP NOWE DONT WANT TO DO THATEXPLAINS TOPPINEN. THE CONTRACT IS OVER. AND YOU CAN HEAR THE EMOTION IN THE CULT ALBUM. THATS A PASSIONATE ALBUM. WE WERE LUCKY THAT WE GOT A NEW LABEL IN GERMANY AND GOT THE ALBUM RELEASEDBUT IT WASNT EASY AND IT WAS A REALLY IMPORTANT TURNING POINT. IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE FROM RECORD LABEL TO DO A THIRD COVER ALBUMI THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAST ALBUM OF APOCALYPTICA. THAT ALBUM CREATED A NEW STYLE.
