Apocalyptica have shared their cover of Metallica’s “The Call Of Ktulu.” The track, which features the late great Cliff Burton’s original bassline, is from the band’s new album, “Apocalyptica Plays Metallica, Vol. 2,“ which will be released on June 7. Eicca Toppinen commented:
“I’ve learned in life that if you have crazy ideas it’s always worth asking, so I called Lars [Ulrich]! He was, like, ‘I love that you guys always think outside of the box!’ James [Hetfield] loved the idea, and I met one of Cliff’s close relatives and she did too. It was a spiritual experience working on this. We wanted to treat this with honor and maximum respect, and it was magical to have people so close to Cliff say that he would have loved it.”
