Apocalyptica - Beautiful & Sacra - Pontiac MI

Here are two songs from the new album. Beautiful and Sacra - Both of these are sooooo gorgeous! I'm so very happy that they played both of them. And Mikko on Cello! Love these two songs.

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.

@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. ;)

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!

@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. ;)

@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. ;)

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