Apocalyptica

  Four classically-trained cellists that play heavy metal.  OK, that bears repeating…  FOUR CLASSICALY-TRAINED CELLISTS WHO PLAY HEAVY METAL!!!  They’re from Finland, they’ve covered Metallica, Pantera and Faith No More, and they’re simply amazing.  They’re Apocalyptica.  They have over 15 albums, with plenty of (awesome) original material, but their true ability lies in their covers…  I really hope you love Metallica as much as I do, because then you will see the sheer talent required for this:

Even if you don’t love Metallica, know that this is a Metallica song played on four cellos: one for vocals, one for bass, one for guitar and one for drums.  Enjoy!
