I can hear Grieg headbanging in his grave like a boss.
+Anipartom This needs at least a thousand more likes!
+martina mollar totally xD this comment made my day
hahahaha xD
Edvard Grieg?
yes
Proof that Metal is not about the instruments, or the music piece, or even lyrics. Metal is a state of being. One can be Metal with even cellos.
Love it!!!! So FUCKIN true!!!!!
Boom!🧙♂️
i mean, i'm pretty sure metal requires at least one stringed instrument
Its the drums
@@goldsrcorsource2551
well then there's acapella metal, like Van Canto. they only use drums
Son, you'll learn how to play Cello!
But mom, I want to play guitar!
Shut up kid, and go to your Cello class!
*20 years later*
In my house as a kid it was more like "you're gonna learn to play flute!" "but mom, I wanna learn cello!" "Shut up and go to band class!" *fifteen years later, my flute sounds like a goose, and I want to trade it in for a damn cello.*
@@victoriacobb2370 dunno why i read your post and thought - this one time at band camp :-p :-p
Trust me I wish my mum forced a cello on my rathe than allowing meto play drums and guitar
Wednesday adams dark side. 💀
"OK. Want me to learn cello? I learn ya some fucking cello bitch." 🤣
My 1.5 year old daughter absolutely LOVES this song. When I put it on the TV she just stops what she's doing and starts trying to headbang with the dudes in the video.
Worlds youngest metal fan?
Awesome!!!!
Apocalyptica has the best lullabies for my wee girl. She's faling asleep while listen CULT. She's been listen Apocalyptica since she was in my belly. Now she is 3 year old and she keep asking when the new album will be relised coz she ''really loves Capocalica'' (she nows about new album as I gave her to listen Cold blood and Till death us part ;) )
Parenting done right!
theXald YOUR'E RAISING YOUR CHILD FUCKING WELL GODDAMNIT !!!
I have never seen a crowd clap so in time
Everybody knows the song :D
First time I heard (learnt it through Grieg, actually) I wondered if the crowd was clapping so right or the musicians following along. I bet in the end there was a bit of both. Show how great musicians and performers they are to get such an alchemy with the crowd
I remember my middle school orchestra and band director showed this to me almost 10 years ago. I still come back to listen to it every once in a while. Thanks, Mr. Thomason.
Music is music. It’s the passion, emotion and work you put into your instrument ( voice included) that gives it your intended feeling. You can do amazing things no matter what your style is.
I love when they mix classical music with heavy metal!
¿Do you like Children of Bodom? Downfall may be something you would love 😁
Classical music is where metal came from
This WAS Metal back in the day. Whenever I hear this I picture a bunch of powdered wigs skanking and moshing it up.
@@luka_apic Exactly. Beethoven was metas AF in some songs.
For anyone interested: the melody played 0:58-1:02 is a part from the national anthem of Finland. Great video! Cheers
Or even a bit earlier!
Somewhere in the city of Bergen, Norway. A dead man head bangs in his grave.
BERGEN?
Damn right. Exitig the airport, you`ll se the large letters BERGEN? Stupid ? Should be an ! instead. And yes, turning in his grave in just joy-
Yet another example of how classical music and metal are one and the same. Classical musicians weer the metalheads of their day.
Pagan music was more like the metal of those times . They used instruments like the ‘hurdy gurdy’ which produced
sustained 5ths adagios which sounds similar as the power chord , also people used that music to get drugged and crazy at parties
It's been about 9 years since I first heard this song and watched this video. This group inspired me to play the cello, and I've been playing it for 8 years now and am so thankful I found this. I've watched this video so many times...
Going to see them in concert April 8th!
@@alexandral6997 Hmmm, they come to GA on the 7th... I might just snag me some tickets. Thanks!
@@duke________1309 They are playing at a smaller venue in Orlando so I don't know what to expect really, but it's worth seeing them live if you can!
I wonder if that is what this sounded like when it dropped in 1867 compared to other compositions of the time.
This was killer!
Trews Detroit I think, Grieg would've hate it at first, but then he'd probably say "well, tell them play it again, goddamn it". And after second listening he's fall in love and start to think this is what HE actually meant when he wrote it hahahaha :)
+Elena Tuktarova Nice grammar.
+Christian Parillo
Well, there're lots of typos, but honestly who here can say he never made any?
+Elena Tuktarova "he" because apparently the only people who listen to metal are men.
#MasculinitySoFragile
Pamela Koppe I wouldn't say "the only" :))
Mostly - yes, but not the only :)))))
Can we talk about Antero just sitting there casually playing in his fancy suit and shades while everyone else is running around shirtless and sweaty, headbanging and shit?
Back in the 70s and 80s metal was relatively new, you could not learn it in music school, so you got trained in classic music, this is why it had a great influence on metal.
Apocalyptica: Making the Cello sexy for the 21st Century.
Yes
sounds like doc brown had something to do with this since you said 21st century
yaaaassss
Look at TwoCellos' rendition of Smells Like Teen Spirit, originally by Nirvana.
Apocalyptica overall is so damn epic it's quite sexually arousing to listen to (to me, idk. Can't be the only one).
This is an interesting episode of Metalocalypse.
I'm speechless.
They play those cellos like the instruments were part of them. It's like they're trying to surpass the limits of normal music and touch a superhuman level. I'm really impressed and I've felt shivers running down my spine so intensely like I've never felt before from a playing band. :)
A perfect example of playing an instrument to make music versus playing WITH an instrument, like a child who has their favorite toy or game figured out to a degree where it becomes an "effortless art" when playing.
Have loved this piece since my grandmother took me to see Peer Gynt at the age of 6 a looong time ago. I think of it as the "We Will Rock You" or "Smoke on the Water" (riff-wise) of classical music. Always recognizable and completely unforgettable, esp the way these guys play it!
Whenever I listen to this I always find myself double checking all the volume controls to make sure it can't go any higher.
THIS
IS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO MUSIC
Cellos, rock music and sweaty, bare chested men with tattoos...I've died and gone to heaven! Apocalyptica are my new favourite group!
i know right?
Love Apocalyptica, love sweaty bare chested men what more could u ask for.
No no no. You’ve died and gone to hell, you certainly want to pass the afterlife with satanic metalheads instead of virtuous bigots.
It's a goddamn shame Edvard Grieg didn't have an electric guitar and an amp. But then long-hairs like me would have gone berserk and wrecked every auditorium he played in. Transports of mayhem multiplied by complete and total bedlam.
"Jonny, stick with those cello lessons. You never know where it will take you...; )"
HAIL APOCALYPTICA !!!
My neighbors love this song!! (albeit unwillingly) ;)
If they really like it, they’ll call the police and tell them. Sometimes, the cops will even take you back to their office so you can share it with others!
And then again only the Finns could adapt cellos into metal instruments and classical prices into metal songs.
Between this and Nightwish....classical IS metal...lol
xd
Classical is metal before electricity
Was never a fan of this song, until i saw the guys play this song live. Something changes inside you when you see a live apocalyptica show
Who doesn't like this song lol
Truthfully it’s a piece not a song
Love Cello, Love Grieg, Love Metal ... Thank You!!
Ayo the drummer went IN on this one
Brilliant. A state of mind most precious to me when I was at my most vulnerable. Ty.
This has got to be one of my all time favorite videos!
Merci pour le partage !
Never appreciated how good Apocalyptica was.. plus they sound much better with drums backing them up! I'm very impressed!
cellos + classical music = metal who would've thought
+JuggaLuke
Classical music and Metal have alot more in common than you may think dude...
I swear that if Beethoven or Mozart was alive today they would have been a Motorhead fans..
Why do you think most of the great composers absolutely loaded up the bass sections of their orchestras to have a really, really deep bass sections?...... Because they where very early Metal heads....
+lardonirdesco Symphony orchestras were the rock-bands/electric-guitars of their day---the only thing for which a composer could score which would adequately fill a large-enough auditorium to make it all *worth* while. Follow the money.
How does anyone 'dislike' this!? I cannot comprehend.
+Sinead Hall it hurts my ears
+TheAnderex tried turning it down a bit? its a pretty faithful adaptation for the genre it is being translated to
I just talked to jesus and he said that he and Edvard Grieg were talking the other day at the water cooler and Edvard said he thinks this version kicks ass.
I really love this version, is my favorite melody of all my life, since i was an infant
Tamara Munoz same!
Suosikkini band!! I missed the only tour I think they will come to my area . I love them, so talented.
I have this piece in my “Intensive Therapy” folder, when i’m really angry, i mean REALLY ANGRY, i’m listening to it 3 or 5 times and then all my negative and agression are vanishing
Oh. My. God.
That was insane. Incredible. I love how they rock out on the cello and not the guitar.
Incredible performance.
Wow...wow... love this.
One of the rare quality videos on youtube.. and Apocalyptica is still like 14 years ago. ♡
dat moment when this was uploaded 9 years ago FeelsBadMan
Yeah
venomous yup
venomous one day this comment will be 9 years old
Come back, now it's 10 lol
11 years now
¡A esto sí le llamo arte! No cualquiera adapta una melodía de música clásica como la de Edvard Grieg al heavy metal, ni mucho menos adaptar una melodía de heavy metal como "Nothing else matters" o "Enter sandman" de Metallica a la música clásica. ¡Estos tíos son unos verdaderos GENIOS!
This is what I call art! Not anybody can adapt a classical melody as Edvard Grieg's to the heavy metal, neither adapt a heavy metal melody as Metallica's "Nothing else matters" or "Enter sandman" to classical music. Those guys are real GENIUSES! (Sorry for my bad English)
Beautifully chaotic. Not for everyone, and not for every time, but when it hits - it hits!
Listening for this every once in a while. This is for the mood, when you feel like dancing with darkness.
ok, this has to be my favorite version i've heard yet.
3:35 TURBO MODE ON!!!
That's how the piece was written. It just got faster and faster and faster. Like Flight of the Bumblebee.
Thanks Finland, very cool.
Some classical music is pure rock.
Thank you! Marvelous Darlings!
1k people liked this from Australia
exactly
Nope this sucks
You know somethin'?
YOU SUCK!
1.7k Australians watched this
Thank you. Yes!
2:25 Look at da flicka da wrist
This comment made me laugh so hard. Super underrated xD
yep cool
I need this version on Spotify ❤
The most impressive thing I have seen in a long time.
They're the only people I know who make Cello playing look sexy.
Derek Hale check out 2cellos, they are an amazing duo...
Joseph Kuznicki
-Lol you're awesome XD
Just the way Classic should be presented!
Agree with you!
Lol that's offensive to music.
Innovation demands interpretation...this embodies the concept of art. To like or dislike something, one still has to experience it.
Dennis B. Shut, the fuck up.
one2gaming why is there a comma there, mr. Hater?
Grieg was the first true norwegian black metal musician
Peer Gynt dumped me here in the hall of the mountain king in 2020. Bravo, Apocalyptica.
The devil went down to Georgia because it was far away from these guys.
I would dare say this is better than the original version of Hall of the Mountain King.
the originals couldn't headbang cos their wigs would have gone flying
yes, to your perception maybe
I think you have your classical music periods mixed up.
probably....it was written a bit after wigs really went out of style......but hey, don't rain on my parade....i kinda like the image of oldschool guys flying their wigs banging away to this
That ending. Fuck me. That. Ending. Brilliance.
I go to youtube once a week to watch this. When they played this in Richmond, VA, it was the best concert experience of my entire life.
Pretty cool, has a really creepy feel on it,now make a cover of Savatage's version & maybe get Jon Oliva to do the ''AH AH AHA AH AH AH''-vocals!
I could totally see dwarves and trolls rocking out to this!
Your best Apocalyptica!
Never forget, that classical is metal before electricity!
Excellent. They increased to the maximum very professionally and "sophisticated barbarian" way the essence, or in other words: went down to the deepest roots of the temperament of this Grieg masterpiece.
Y'know what's weird? I'm fifteen. The kid at highschool known for liking K-Pop and Billie Eillish. But in the shadows, I'm blasting this in quarantine. It's awesome, why do people sleep on these guys?! Even better that there's no vocals and the cello can shine itself.
Madness, only sheer madness dwells in the Hall off tge mountain KING.
Now this is what I call “classic rock”😉
Saw this live tonight - utterly catastrophically blown away - best gig I have EVER been to!
Make no mistake, the guys who first heard Grieg play this were absolutely blown away too.
Did anybody notice near the beginning a phrase from the Finnish national anthem?
Owen Hoggard but of course :)
+Axe Xxx yeah Finnish and Estonian are almost the exact same launguage but don't they drop the endings?
+Axe Xxx I'm pretty sure that it is
+Agne Miski xD I'm pretty sure, I've talked with a couple Estonians about it...
+Owen Hoggard i dont recognize the anthem, being from Canada, but isnt it a norwegian composition? im sure apoc is just playing to their crowd as anyone would tho
Never has metal been so classy.
Awww, finally someone who know music! the original happens to one of my favorite pieces
This is fucking awesome! Don't know how I never heard of you guys before, but you've got yet another new fan now!
one of the songs where the live version is better as the studio version...
Absolutely one of the scintillating piece of music! Who could ever imagine the Cello to be used in such an amazing manner!
Edvard Grieg would be proud. Seriously. The fact that his work is remembered and cherished hundred years past his death and is built upon is just amazing.
2:45 Shit's about to get real ! Hype !
I just seen this performance for the very first time. Nothing short of astounding! One of my favourite pieces revisited with an edge and, it is completely amazing!
New sub guys! Very Best! 👏👍
+Graham MacDonald every time I see this video (on CZcams) and there's Perttu looking like some half-animal, half-man, all RAW sexuality, completely gorgeous, and I know this is an old Skadic song, but they play it like they wrote it, theri version kicks ass. This is the version I've come to love.
This got to be the meanest interpretation of this song ever.
apocalyptica is the best second to none.
Perttu looks so sleepy until the second half of the song. xD
This is actually from the very end of an hour and half long show, it amazes me that they're even still standing after all that headbanging, cello-slaying sheer awesomeness :P
Yes, I know, but I am so used to Dream Theater and Machine Head's half hour long musics, I just forgot how there were different bands that had different styles. xP
cellos and rock-n-roll?!? Did I die?!? is this Heaven?!?!
No.. This is hell
@@natmlt7895 im at doom's gate
1.8k Australians apparently liked this song! No dislikes to be seen for miles around. It's just their way of liking things.
@@Nicoleth Lol, it's just a good Aussie joke. I don't mean anything negative about it. Definitely planning on coming to Australia in the future.
Now they need to do this with Patty Gurdy, the Hurdy Gurdy would be great fun as an add in instrument.
The funny thing is that I think that Grieg would have like this version.
I've always wondered if they use their prize-cellos when playing live on stage, or if those are reserved for studio recordings and home usage...
A couple of them are quite old, and probably pretty valuable.
omf god i love these guys so talented unbelievable music
Dude this guy takes classical to a WHOLE new level 💯
I just heard this song live yesterday... My favourite song of all times! Thank you so much Apocalyptica for your awesome music!
Around 2:26 it makes me think of Chop Suey by SOAD
aaaaaaaaaaa hot hot hot!
Classical music is just metal before electricity
Grieg is smiling from above, perhaps with a small smirk.
2019 like?
What would you consider this? Classic? Metal? A bit of both? What would it be called?
+riptidefirebender I guess they fall under Neo-Classical Metal
Wood
+Josh lol hahaha
hardwood?
Lukas Longus heavywood
Most badass cello ever played.
My son introduced me to your group a short time ago and I loved your music, but when watching the videos.... I'm blown away at your talent. The things you can do with the Cello is absolutely amazing. I wish I could see this group in concert! I bet it would ROCK!
Hall of The Mountain King Apocalyptica Far away
In a land caught between
Time and space Where the books of life lay
We fear
This castle of stone
The mountain king roams
All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside Forever hidden from the sun
Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
His deep
Dark eyes
Keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside
His hall
His towers of stone Shall not be overthrown
For eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity and the power that it brings
Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come with me
Stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear
In the thunder, it roars
When the Mountain King calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refuge here but I was forever on the run
Madness reigns
(my friends)
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

perttu is my soul mate
When I first heard this song I was blown the fuck away to learn there was no guitar!
Well said. Cherished is exactly the right word.....
