Apocalyptica

“Cell-0represents the coreof everything. For usitis a particlethatsymbolizes the essence of all. That is to say, where everything comes from and where everything ends up...”-Eicca Toppinen –Apocalyptica (cellist and founding member)Apocalyptica are true explorers, always seeking new frontiers and uncharted territories in which to express themselves. With Cell-0, their 9thstudio album, the ambitious andelectric quartet have not simply returned to their non-vocal roots, they have traveled deeper and further into the universe of instrumental music than ever before. That first love and passion which fueled Apocalyptica to form during 1993 in Helsinki now carries richer layers of knowledge and experience, which in turn have led to the band to a fundamental realization and creative path.“We wanted to challenge ourselves to find further flavours in the cello itself,” says cellist PerttuKivilaakso“had we found them all? Had we explored every corner to find them?”“We went about creating Cell-0as a full piece of art and not thinking about singles or ‘the timing of singles’ or anything like that,” continues Eicca“it’s challenging to get all the details and colours right and still have the energy of being a real metal cello band.” continues Eicca, who like Perttu and fellow cellist Paavo Lötjönen graduated from the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki“So that was the main goal for us when doing this album, to havethose two very different worlds connecting to each other in a stronger, more explorative way than ever before.”The genesis for Cell-0’screation arrived as Apocalyptica were busy revisiting their initial breakthrough turf on tour. During 2018’s 20thanniversary tour celebrating their genre-breaking debut album Apocalyptica Plays Metallica By Four Cellos, the importance and potential of their roots started to takeon deeper proportions.“We found that these concentrated instrumental events helped us to find ourselves better than on other albums,”explains Perttu, “this ‘real’connection between the cello and the audience was renewed, and made us want to both self-produce and lure ourselves to find the real core of why we began and why we started. I think it is braver and more progressive in terms of the writing. As the band began their journey at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki, it was clear that such discoveries were not going to come easily. Yet afforded the freedom to explore and create without the constraints of format or schedule, Apocalyptica were invigorated by the process.“On Cell-0you can clearly hear that we did not take the easiest path,” chuckles Eicca, “when we might’ve thought something was good, we’d then say it wasn’t great, kick it out and work at it
 
again. And that’s been the tool for us to develop the songwriting, the arrangement, the production, every aspect of making this album. It’s a hard process to be in the studio for a couple of months and keep on challenging yourselves every day for twelve hours a day, but that stamina is something you learn in yourcareer. Some bands get lazy and just release albums that don’t bring anything new to the table, that’s not our way of working.”In pushing themselves to find other places and levels in their music, Apocalyptica opened up to some seemingly unorthodox methods and emotions to travel through the creative process. The result is an album which engages the listener in a myriad of feelings and emotions ranging from the raging thrash of ‘En Route To Mayhem’to the ethereal shroud of ‘Ashes Of The Modern World’and the cinematic scope of ‘Call My Name’, something the band were hoping would happen.“It is tough to express without lyrics, but in Cell-0we found particles of our universe previously unknown to us.” explains Perttu“Millions of notes combine to create music just as millions of cells combine to create life, and when you visualize the wholething, similar patterns appear. When you look at symphonic sheet music, it looks similar to starry skies, and when I look up at the sky and see the stars, I also see them as potential notes. There are people suffering, and people not treating our planet properly, so there is anxiety at the state of the world. Many of the songs on Cell-0refer to the blindness and greed of humanity and what we should be doing. We discussed during the writing that this was a very important series of emotions and observationsto express, especially with regards to ignorance. I started to believe that human ignorance should be treated as a deadly sin, as it is behind so much of the bad stuff currently around us.”“Writing music, at least for me, is about filtering experiences through your personality,” furthers Eicca, who found himself listening to old favourites like Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Gojira in and around the time of co-creating Cell-0.“I start to play something, develop it and then just transfer my own emotions into the music. It varies a lot depending on the mood. These songs have so many layers, and are so complex, it’s not always easy to point out exactly what they are about. But I think that’s also the beauty of instrumental music, that the listener always can feel free to experience the same songs in very, very different ways. It’s also one reason why we don’t want to explain the songs before they’re experienced.”Apocalyptica worked with renowned producer and engineer Andrew Scheps, who has worked with the RedHot Chili Peppers, Lana Del Rey, Metallica and Black Sabbath among others. He mixed the album at Monnow Valley Studios in South Wales, UK, and the band couldn’t be happier with the results.“We’ve admired Andrew’s work for a long time, and he brought essential clarity to the mix.” says Perttu“Mixing cellos creates more problems than any other instrument with any other band. We all play the same instrument, all in the same register, and this time with Andrew, we found perfect balance and clarity between us all. Ithas left us more than excitedto experiment with these songs live.”
 
Apocalyptica’s Cell-0live renditions will commence on January 17th2020 when they head out as special guests to Sabaton for a European tour, before the band develop more comprehensive headlining plans. At once a smorgasbord, symphony and crushing metallic masterpiece, Cell-0shows a band at the very peak of its unique and magical compositional powers.“We will be planning the full Cell-0tour to be at the next level in terms of how we frame our performances,” promises Eicca“because as you can probably guess, we don’t know any other way.
 

Wheel.

Wheel is a Finnish prog-metal band based in Helsinki, consisting of James Lascelles (Vocals/Guitar), Santeri Saksala (Drums), Aki ‘Conan’ Virta (Bass) and Jussi Turunen (Lead Guitar).

They released their debut album ‘Moving Backwards’ in February 2019, and just released their second album ‘Resident Human’ on March 26th 2021. 

"Sonically, we wanted to make an album that was a bit rougher around the edges than Moving Backwards was; we live in a time where it is possible to edit and manipulate nearly everything and this time, we chose not to edit far more than we chose to fix things; this mentality seemed to tie in well with the album theme. We believe that the thing that gives our band it's unique chemistry is where the groove lies between the players and we wanted listeners to be able to really feel that through these recordings.

Topically, the album is a figurative deconstruction of humanity, exacerbated through the lens of 2020 and several of the songs are inspired by 'Hyperion Cantos' by Dan Simmons. The constant thread through all of the songs is that they consider a narrow aspect of what it is to be human, in all of our brilliance and all of our ugliness.”
