mozard would be so proud right now

[NecromancerJennyfer]

Mikko, you're so awesome :)

[phantomlover1231]

absolutely beautiful

[sk8rwhezel]

The reason why I love their classical music so much is because it can be enjoyed in every part of the world; it has the same meaning in every country. It is simply meant to be enjoyed by all ears. They need to do more soulful, classical songs like this.

[BelladonnaU2]

@sk8rwhezel  - These two songs are sooo gorgeous and send chills down the spine when they play them live. ;) I think that they will always play some slower classical pieces no matter how hard they rock everything else. ;)

[impettita]

stunning.

[SymphonicFreak1]

"Sacra" is awesome, i would do everything to see 'em playing in me country, but NOOOO... that's why living in Brazil makes me sad

[yumieharu]

@SymphonicFreak1 I understand what you mean. I get sad about it too. :\

[OperaRockCullen]

I absolutely love Sacra. Guess it's my favorite Apocalyptica song :)

[nnnnihan]

I see this was recorded before the album's release, so I hope they will not be performing Sacra like this, because, though I love the melody, I think what makes that song so charming is the cymbals, and with only drum as percussion, this sounded so.. barren, if I may use this word... (yet my adoration for Mikko remains untouched :) )

Anyway, dying to see them perform live in Finland, in their homeland, this winter after they are finally done with most of the world!

[BelladonnaU2]

@nnnnihan Based on the two times I've seen them place this song live (before and after the release of the album) this is how they are playing the song - no cymbals. It does sound barren in a way, but it is very stunning just the same. I think the raw sound makes it that much more moving. Hope you get to see them soon. ;)

[Neithie]

@nnnnihan Except Australia! They ignore Australia. I have waited years. :(

I better just come to Finland. :)

[BelladonnaU2]

@Neithie In all the interviews I've heard over the last couple months they've been talking about wanting to do Australia/New Zealand in 2011 - So there is hope for you. But yeah, a side trip to Finland might be in order as well. ;)

Paavo stares into the camera's SOUL

....I loved both these songs so much

[Kikisachan23]

like this. Perttu is showing his lyrical side once again.

[nonaverageblonde1260]

I love it when they rock, but these songs are just amazingly beautiful.

[Marconikoff7]

Eicca's cello sounds terrible at the end of Beautiful....

[NinaMarie1127]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[tararico]

What mean "sacra".....?

[BelladonnaU2]

@tararico Not sure because they haven't said, but they've been doing a song by song description on their Official site so I'm hoping we will all find out soon. ;)

[tararico]

@BelladonnaU2 hi!

Thanks a lot for your comment:)

[tararico]

@BelladonnaU2 Thank you;)

[tararico]

@BelladonnaU2 Hi!Thank you fopr your answer.:)

[Marconikoff7]

Sacer, sacra, sacrum, "sacred" in latin. Sacra is the plural of the neuter form sacrum, it means "sacred things".

[Prinzesschen1986]

@tararico sacra means something saint, is latin 

[Eltaniol]

@tararico it could be from latin and mean "sacred". At least, wiktionary says that^^

[evfan101]

both these songs are amazing. God I Love this band and can't wait for their new album =D August 23rd HURRY THE FUCK UP!

[BelladonnaU2]

@evfan101 I know what you mean!! Isn't it the 24th yet?? The wait is killing me. :/

[evfan101]

@BelladonnaU2 I KNOW!!!! the song Not Strong Enough ft. Brent Smith from Shinedown...new fav Apocalyptica song <3

[andtheresnoregrets]

I adore Sacra. First heard it at the concert in Kyiv, Ukraine.

That's totally amazing melody, it makes my soul floating.

I'm waiting for the album release so desperately.

[BelladonnaU2]

@andtheresnoregrets - It is soo gorgeous. Love them both but Sacra has something extra to it - can't put my finger on it. ;) August 24th can't come fast enough for me. ;)

[Knuckles6twofour]
