Apocalyptica - Music Box

Review by Derrick Hall

Music Box, the seventh studio album by Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica, is a stunning display of their unique blend of classical and heavy metal music. Released in 2010, the album features 10 tracks, each showcasing the band's exceptional musicianship and creative arrangements.

From the hauntingly beautiful opening track "Somewhere Around Nothing" to the epic closer "Bring Them to Light," Music Box is a masterpiece of instrumental music. The band's use of cellos, drums, and keyboards creates a rich, layered sound that is both powerful and emotional.

One standout track is "Beautiful," which features guest vocals from German singer and actress Linda Sundblad. The song is a beautiful ballad that showcases the band's ability to create music that is both heavy and delicate at the same time.

Another highlight is "Sacra," a hauntingly beautiful track that features a guest appearance by Finnish singer and songwriter Johanna Kurkela. The song is a perfect example of the band's ability to fuse classical and metal music into something truly unique.

Summary by Derrick Hall

Music Box is a must-have album for fans of Apocalyptica and anyone who appreciates innovative and powerful instrumental music. The band's creativity and musicianship are on full display, making this album a true masterpiece.
