On the January 22th, 2025, APOCALYPTICA brought their Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol. 2 tour to a very enthusiastic crowd gathered at Turku’s Logomo club.
At first, the stage was shrouded in thick white fabric, which acted as a screen for some visuals to be displayed to the sound of Ennio Morricone’s “The Ecstasy of Gold,” [METALLICA‘s iconic opening track] setting the tone for an evening. The show kicked off with “Ride the Lightning.” The cellos roared with the ferocity of the heaviest guitars, which was just another proof of APOCALYPTICA’s unique ability to blend classical finesse with metal’s raw power.
The intensity only grew with “Enter Sandman” and “Creeping Death” with the iconic lullaby riff of “Enter Sandman” creeping through the speakers. The pace slowed slightly with “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “The Call of Ktulu,” with which the band paid tribute to Cliff Burton, the legendary METALLICA’s bassist killed in a traffic accident. The cellos sounded in unison, transforming Burton’s iconic bass lines into haunting string arrangements.
The band closed the night with the classics – “Master of Puppets” and “Nothing Else Matters.” By the time the final riff hit, the entire venue was shaking, as the exhilarated crowd called for more. Check out our photo gallery here…
