Apocalyptica concert in Prague

These boys never fail me !!!!! FCK' Hell ... they were fantastic !!!!!!! I call their latest album "movie music" for it is more melodic stuff than usual, with proper rock band setup, singing ... so I did expect the concert to follow more or less that newly found track.


But NOOOOO !!! They brushed the strings as always ... only that they play better and better if that is at all possible .... thrash, death, speed metal + their "experimental" stuff, Grieg etc ... 4 mighty over boosted cellos + drum kit.

At first I did consider the drums a bit redundant or perhaps even a bit distracting ... they do not really need it ... but as the concert developed the drums became more and more integral part of the sound and by the end the drumming was as wild as the cellos and the whole sound was terrific !!!

You know, when it comes to Apocalyptica I do not mind if they eventually play ballads or slow stuff ... with the four cellos the sound is so diverse that if you plunge into the individual interlacing lines / layers you get on a pretty adventurous track full of discoveries ... the layers are many and rich and you simply cannot get bored !!!


The atmosphere / audience was terrific ... packed venue had the proper metal /headbanging, merry atmosphere ... the gig went for 2 hours and people wouldnt let them leave ... Btw there are 2 concerts in conseq. days and both are sold out.


And by the way, the boys know how to treat their faithful audience : after "we will play for you some more sweet ballads" ... Slayer and Sepultura tunes followed !!! That I call a treat !



What a relief after RP& Strange Sensation .... Tonight I got the sound massacre I só desperately needed !!!! ;D

APOCALYPTICA, Prague - Archa Theatre, April 12

Right, I just checked www.radiobeat.cz ... there were some shots from the Prague concerts plus a video taken apparently on a digicam. But anyway, all those who have not had chance to see Apocalyptica live (and/or didnt bother to get their live DVD here is a taste of what they are like :

Hi Jana,

Thanks for the text from the gig and for posting the photos, glad you seemed to like the gig more than the boring old hippy you saw the week before ;D
