Apocalyptica have premiered a new video for their cover of Metallica’s “The Four Horsemen.” The track, which features Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, will appear on the band’s new covers album “Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol. 2.” That effort will be released on June 7.
The group commented:
“The first single we want to present to you is ‘The Four Horsemen’. And we couldn’t be more excited to have a great feature guest on it: Rob Trujillo himself, who is probably THE greatest bass player in this whole wide world! We’ve always enjoyed sharing our love for Metallica. Now, this is next level for us as well!”
Eicca Toppinen continued:
“It’s the coolest thing. We didn’t push; it was offered. We played the first album live and it was so much more fun and exciting than we expected, so we got the idea to do something like the first album, but we couldn’t do it in exactly the same way; we needed to challenge ourselves and bring a totally new perspective to the original energy and emotion of Metallica.”
Perttu Kivilaakso added:
“We’ve been talking about making another Metallica album for around 20 years, as there were still so many great songs we wanted to play! We waited for the perfect moment to do it. Thinking of that teenage me who is now getting to play his favorite tracks gives me goosebumps!”
