ʻO Apocalyptica kahi hui metala symphonic multi-platinum mai Helsinki, Finland.
Ua hoʻokumu mua ʻia ʻo Apocalyptica ma ke ʻano he quartet tribute metal. A laila, hana ka hui i ke ʻano metala neoclassical, me ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻana i nā kīkā maʻamau.
Hoomaka mua o Apocalyptica
ʻO ka album mua ʻo Plays Metallica na ʻEhā Cellos (1996), ʻoiai he mea hoʻonāukiuki, ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia e ka poʻe hoʻohewa a me nā mea pā o nā mele koʻikoʻi a puni ka honua.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ke kani paʻakikī (pinepine ʻia e nā mea mele ʻē aʻe) me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻenehana kuʻuna maʻalahi, ka hiki ke noʻonoʻo hou i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kani, a me nā riffs percussive.
Ua lanakila ka hui i ka hoʻohuli ʻana i kā lākou mele i kahi nalu neoclassical kaulana a puni ka honua.
Hui pū me nā mea pena kiʻi ʻē aʻe
ʻO Apocalyptica kahi quartet i hoʻokomo wale i nā cellos. Akā ma hope ua lilo ka hui i ʻekolu, a laila hui pū kekahi mea hoʻokani pahu a me kahi mea leo. Ma 7th Symphony (2010) ua hana pū lāua me ka mea hoʻokani pahu ʻo Dave Lombardo (Slayer) a me nā leo leo ʻo Gavin Rossdale (Bush) a me Joe Duplantier (Gojira).
Ua hana ʻia nā mea hoʻokani pila ma nā album Sepultura a me Amon Amarth. Ua huakaʻi lākou ma ke ʻano he hui kākoʻo no Nina Hagen.
ʻO ka ulu ʻana o ka leo o Apocalyptica
ʻOiai ke neʻe nei ke kani o Apocalyptica mai ka thrash metal i kahi mea palupalu, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ʻelua album: Cult and Shadowmaker. Ua ulu ka leo, i kēia manawa he kani metala symphonic.
ʻO Apocalyptica i hoʻokumu mua ʻia i nā cellists i hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia: Eikki Toppinen, Max Lilja, Antero Manninen a me Paavo Lotjonen.
Ke kūleʻa mua
Ua hoʻokani ka hui ma ka honua ma 1996 me Plays Metallica na ʻEhā Cellos. Ua hoʻohui kēia album i kā lākou ʻike cello maʻamau me ko lākou aloha i ka metala kaumaha.
Ua kaulana ka album me nā poʻe pā kahiko a me nā poʻe metala. ʻElua makahiki ma hope mai, ua puka hou ʻo Apocalyptica me Inquisition Symphony. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā mana uhi o Faith No More a me nā mea Pantera.
Ua haʻalele koke ʻo Manninen i ka hui a ua pani ʻia ʻo ia e Perttu Kivilaakso.
Ua hoʻohui pū nā lālā o ka hui i ʻelua bass a me ka percussion i ka hui no Cult (2001) a me Reflections (2003), i hōʻike ʻia i ka mea hoʻokipa malihini ʻo Dave Lombardo mai Slayer. Ua haʻalele ʻo Max Lilja i ka hui a ua hui pū ʻo Mikko Siren ma ke ʻano he pahu pahu mau.
ʻO nā hana ma hope o ka hui Apocalyptic
Ua hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia ʻo Reflections e like me Reflections Revised me kahi mele bonus e hōʻike ana i ka diva Nina Hagen. I ka makahiki 2005, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka hana eponymous Apocalyptica.
I ka makahiki 2006, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili ʻo Amplified: He ʻumi makahiki o Reinventing the Cello. Ua hoʻi ka hui i ke keena i ka makahiki aʻe no Worlds Collide.
Mea leo pūʻulu Rammstein Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Till Lindemann ma ka album e hīmeni ana i ka mana Kelemania o David Bowie's Helden. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Apocalyptica i kahi album ola ma 2008. Ua ukali ʻia kēia e ka 7th Symphony (2010) me nā hana a Gavin Rossdale, Brent Smith (Shinedown), Lacey Mosley (Flyleaf).
Ma 2013 ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ka CD Wagner Reloaded: Noho ma Leipzig. A ma 2015, ua hoʻokuʻu ka poʻe mele i kā lākou album studio ʻewalu Shadowmaker. Ua haʻalele lākou i ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā mea leo leo no ka hilinaʻi ʻana i ke kālena o Frankie Perez.
I ka makahiki 2017 a me ka makahiki aʻe, ua huakaʻi ka hui e hoʻolauleʻa i ka makahiki 20 o kā lākou album mua.
Plays Metallica: Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Live i ka pūnāwai o 2019 aʻo ka hui e kākau ana a hoʻopaʻa i kahi album studio.
ʻO kekahi mau kumu e kamaʻāina ai i ka hana a ka hui
1) Ua hana lākou i kā lākou ʻano ʻano kūʻokoʻa.
Ua komo ʻo Apocalyptica i ka hanana i ka makahiki 1996. ʻAʻohe kanaka i ʻike i nā mea hoʻokani pila. ʻAʻole wale lākou i hoʻololi i ke ʻano o ka nānā ʻana o ka poʻe metala, ua hana pū lākou i ke ʻano o ka metala symphonic ma ke cello.
ʻOiai he nui ka poʻe i hahai i ko lākou mau wāwae, ʻaʻohe mea i hana pēlā me ke kālena like a me ka hoʻokele. ʻO ka album ʻo Plays Metallica na ʻEhā Cellos he ala hou ia e hoʻokani ai mai kahi hui metala. Ke hoʻomau nei ka hui ʻo Apocalyptica i ka pāʻani like i kēia mau makahiki.
2) Ka mākaukau o ka pāʻani ʻana ma ke kahua.
I kēlā me kēia manawa e lawe ai ʻo Apocalyptica i ke kahua, maopopo ka nui o ko lākou makemake. Me Antero ma ka huakaʻi hope loa, aia ka pūʻali i luna o kā lākou pāʻani. He mea hoihoi ka nānā ʻana i ka pilina ma waena o nā cellists ʻehā a me ka mea hoʻokani pahu.
ʻO ka maikaʻi kupaianaha o ka pāʻani a me kā lākou ikehu kupaianaha he mesmerizing. E neʻe maʻalahi ka hui mai nā haku mele mālie a i nā mele pōhaku ikaika a ikaika. Ua lawe nā mea hoʻokani i ka poʻe hoʻolohe i kahi huakaʻi o nā manaʻo i hoʻomāʻona i nā mea a pau i ka pau ʻana o ka ʻahamele.
3) Hoʻohenehene.
ʻAʻole i manaʻo nui ka hui iā lākou iho a ʻaʻole lākou makaʻu i ka leʻaleʻa ma luna a ma waho o ke kahua. Aia kekahi mau manawa hoʻomāʻewaʻewa i kā lākou mau pūʻulu. ʻO kekahi o nā mea koʻikoʻi ʻo Antero i hoʻoweliweli ʻia a ʻaʻa ʻo Perttu e kono iā Paavo e hula. Ua ʻae koke ʻo ia i kāna hāʻawi. Huki aʻela ʻo ia i kahi noho a kū aʻe i luna e hula i kahi ʻūhā, huki aʻe i kona pālule a hōʻike i nā mea a pau i kāna pahu pahu.
4) Hoalohaloha.
He mea kakaikahi ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi hui e noho pū ana i ka wā a lākou e hoʻokani nei, hoʻopaʻa i nā mea, hoʻomau i ka hauʻoli i ka huakaʻi a me ka pāʻani. Akā ʻo ka hoʻomau ʻana o nā lālā o Apocalyptica i ka hauʻoli me kekahi i kekahi. ʻO kā lākou launa ʻana ma ke kahua ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea nui o kā lākou hana ola. A ʻo kekahi o nā kumu he nui e hoʻi hou mai ai nā "fans" i kēia hui.
ʻO ka hiki ke hoʻololi i ke kani maʻamau. ʻAʻole makaʻu ʻo Apocalyptica e hoʻāʻo a hoʻāʻo i nā mea hou. A i loko o nā makahiki, ua hoʻonui ka hui i kā lākou leo "kumu", ʻaʻole wale i ka hana ʻana i kā lākou haku mele ponoʻī, akā hoʻohui pū kekahi i nā leo, nā mea kani a me ka pāʻani ʻana i nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole. Ua kūʻai aku nā mea mele ma luna o 4 miliona mau album ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
