The Finnish four piece Apocalyptica announce the release of their very own Cello-Metal reinterpretation of Ludwig Van Beethoven’s legendary 5^th Symphony.Eicca Toppinen says: “The beginning of the fifth symphony by Beethoven is one of the most iconic classical themes ever written. The process of rewriting and transforming it into a new perspective was a challenging but a really joyful ride. Beethoven was one of the first “metal-heads” in classical music which made it even more enjoyable to work out his theme with more modern sound and approach.” Listen to Apocalyptica’s “Beethoven 5^thhttps://apocalyptica.ffm.to/beethoven5th

The previously released single “Bolero” as well as “Beethoven 5^th” are going to be part of Apocalyptica’s upcoming EP named “Metal Classic, Classic Metal”.
