What could rock harder than four cellists? Well, ok, electric guitar... drums... bass... a deaf chimpanzee accordian player... But, I mean, besides that?
While I don't love all their stuff, I do love what Apocalyptica is doing and the sound their getting. They get my vote for best use of a stringed instrument since... well, since my next door neighbor used her viola for a kitty litter box (cuz, that was just sweet).
The song that hooked me was from an interesting and beautiful - if not brilliant - french movie I just watched, Vidocq. The music video from the film pairs the group with singer Matthias Sayer for a fascinating juxtaposition of warm, haunting vocals and driving, grungy accompaniment.

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion
Oh man, about eight years ago I had the album of Metallica covers that Apocalyptica did. Good stuff! Not really my cup of tea anymore but definately challenging to those rocker enthusiasts. :)
