Apocalyptica To Release New Full-Length Album This Summer

Finnish cello-rockers Apocalyptica just announced a summer debut for their latest metal-inspired creation. The new album will follow up their 2007 release "Worlds Collide." Dave Lombardo of Slayer, along with several other surprise guest musicians, are set to participate on this 7th studio album.

Classically trained cellists Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Perttu Kivilaakso and drummer Mikko Sirén are currently putting finishing touches on the album and gearing up for their February invasion of Kaapelitehdas, Finland’s metal expo.
