Pros: Stunning cover versions, Toreador.
Cons: No Perttu, some covers are a little on the harsh side.
Summary: If I told you that there's a Finnish quarter of cellists that can rock just as hard as any metal group, what would you think? If you answered Apocalyptica then chances are you are grinning. Their Inquisition Symphony ... read more

Pros: Simply an overwhelming experience
Cons: Can't really think of none...
Summary: I love music above most things in this world. Still there are all too few moments when I can just turn my head from the fuss of life rushing on. But some albums just makes me forget the outside world when I put on my headphones (that's the only way to be ... read more

Pros: Exceptional use of Dissonance, good merging of genres
Cons: Some songs don't match the moods of others
Summary: I'll admit it. I am not a huge fan of the hard rock genre. I personally find it to have very little value. Although never either attracted to or dissuaded from Metallica, they never managed to catch my ear. I mostly just didn't care for their choice ... read more
