UUSI APOCALYPTICA CD (2005) - ILMAINEN TOIMITUS

A listen to Apocalyptica's Apocalyptica
brings with it the nagging urge to figure
out where, exactly, the music fits. Certain
moments -- entire tracks, even -- are gi-
ven over to classical formality, and it is in
those moments, steeped as they are in
traditional loveliness, that a listener can
come dangerously close to thinking he is
hearing something lofty and important.
He is not. Apocalyptica the genre-splicing
Finnish instrumental band that changed
headbangers' perception of the cello, is
not pretentious exactly but its effect is the
same as that of a rock band whose lead
singer is audibly British: it sounds smart.
Too smart, for instance, to issue from the
headphones of a kid just discovering
Black Sabbath or lining up for Slipknot
tickets. Where Apocalyptica might fit then
is not with heavy rock scenesters but with
aging metal heads. It is not hard to envi-
sion tracks like Fatal Error and Fisheye
booming from the speakers of a splashy
convertible with a bald guy at the wheel.
Elaborate fantasy-concocting gamers -
Dungeons & Dragons players and their
descendants - also stand a better chance
than most of finding relatable rock bliss
here.
