Twenty years from inception, one of the biggest names in European metal is finally touring Australia. Finnish four-piece Apocalyptica will bring their most recent album, ‘7th Symphony‘ which was produced by Joe Baressi and features guests vocalists including Gavin Rossdale (Bush), Brent Smith (Shinedown), Joe Duplantier (Gojira) and award winning songwriter Diane Warren. Apocalyptica was originally formed as a cover band, and a simple creative outlet for songwriter Eicca Toppinen and three of his classically-trained classmates. Their debut release – a Metallica covers album – created a stir amongst fans, but the band eventually blossomed into their own with 2007’s ‘World’s Collide‘ (which featured Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, Lacuna Coil’s Cristina Scabbia, Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann amongst others). Now with over four million album sales worldwide to date and a reputation for an incredible live show under their belt Apocalyptica make their first ever trip to Australia this August. Tickets on sale Friday 29th June. Expand this post for the details.
