Since their inception in 1993, APOCALYPTICA have been mining classical form and structure, ever coming up with unpredictable new musical projects. Twenty-one years into an inimitable global career exceeding well over 1000 live concerts, performed in over 50 countries, they are still reinventing themselves – creating massive attention in media as well as the charts on all continents. Casper de Ro Ro spoke with Eicca Toppinen about the meeting of cello and Metal, the band's changing ways in how they approach recording and writing albums, and their return to Australia for 2015's Soundwave.
