The cellists APOCALYPTICA have announced the release of a new work, the EP "Metal Classic, Classic Metal", which is accompanied by the premiere of one of their songs, "Flight Of The Bumblebee" -"El Vuelo Del Moscardón"- original composition Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.On the EP the band deals with metallic interpretations of classic pieces.In the group's words, "Flight Of The Bumblebee is an all-time favorite and obviously has a long history of ties to the metal world. We're pretty sure Rimsky-Korsakov would have been a metalhead."Perttu Kivilaakso says about the song:"'Flight Of The Bumblebee' is one of the best-known virtuosic pieces. I've played it over my classical years many times, always looking for faster and faster performances. This time I thought it would be great to do a rough and heavy 'Bee' for our band, basically creating the slowest, creepiest 'Bumblebee' ever. It's fascinating how musical structures can work in so many ways. This 'Bee' is heavy and furious, but she's sure to fly away with a smile on her face! and a twinkle in the eye!"In addition, "Metal Classic, Classic Metal" contains a new version of Beethoven's "5th Symphony" and another of Maurice Ravel's "Bolero".In this way, the EP will include these versions:The band's latest releases are the songs "I'll Get Through It" with Geezer Butler and Franky Pérez, "Ei Vaihtoehtoo" with Paleface, "White Room" with PAPA ROACH's Jacoby Shaddix and "Venomous Moon" with THE RASMUS.We remind you that the APOCALYPTICA, EPICA and WHEEL concerts will be held in February 2023. The tour will visit Barcelona, ​​Murcia and Madrid.Tickets are on sale at Madnesslive.es."Cell-0" was APOCALYPTICA's latest album, released in January 2019 by Silver Lining Music.You can find out more about this work by the Finnish band with the interview we conducted with Paavo Lötjönen.More information about the band on their Facebook page.Save my name, email, and website in this browser the next time I comment.More about: Heavy Metal Power Metal Hard Rock Progressive Metal Symphonic Metal Thrash Metal Death Metal Melodic Death Black Metal Doom Metal Gothic Metal Folk Metal Metalcore Alternative Metal Best Heavy Metal albums Metal and Hard Rock music videos
