Cell-O (2020)/ Apocalyptica

"To call Cell-0 another installment of symphonic metal would be incredibly remiss, and would miss the essence of what Apocalyptica has created. They are often advertised as cello metal, and lacking any other bands in their category at such a caliber, such a straightforward moniker is perhaps the most appropriate. It is the enthralling arrangement of cellos on which Apocalyptica was built, and it is with those cellos same that the band seizes attention once again in an album that is full of triumph, terror, melancholy, and enchantment. This is a gem which shows the untapped power of brilliantly composed classical music, the high-octane bite of metal, and complete control over complex musical arrangement." (Sonic Perspectives)
