Apocalyptica
Plays Metallica By Four Cellos (1996)

Take four cellos, mix with a quartet of Finnish classical-music students who possess a note-for-note knowledge of metal giants Metallica, and beat gently. Viola! You have a truly stirring album that provides tangible evidence of the dramatic passages and intricate arrangements that classical music and heavy metal share.

1. Enter Sandman
2. Master Of Puppets
3. Harvester Of Sorrow
4. The Unforgiven
5. Sad But True
6. Creeping Death
7. Wherever I May Roam
8. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)


Die Krupps
A Tribute To Metallica (1993)
320

This is a truly original piece of work. Metallica originally is alright music, but when it is transalted and updated like this it really rocks. Jurgen Engler and Die Krupps are the masters of hard-driving synthesizer/metal music (together with KMFDM) and here they show that they master the genre. Metallica has never been so heavy and aggressive as in these versions.

1. Enter Sandman
2. Nothing Else Matters
3. Blackened
4. Battery
5. For Whom The Bell Tolls
