APOCALYPTICA Re-Interpreting Beethoven’s 5th, Out Tomorrow, July 15th

Finland’s multi-Platinum cello-rockers APOCALYPTICA have issued the following:

The next reprise on our Classic Metal Metal Classic EP is Beethoven’s 5^th, and it comes out on Friday!

We’ve done parts of this piece live before, so we are really excited to finally be bringing it to you properly with this interpretation. It’s a very exciting addition to the catalog, and a piece we know some of you have been clamoring for years.

The beginning of the fifth symphony by Beethoven is one of the most iconic classical themes ever written. The process of rewriting and transforming it into a new perspective was a challenging but a really joyful ride. Beethoven was one of the first “metal-heads” in classical music which made it even more enjoyable to work out his theme with more modern sound and approach.
