Apocalyptica is a Finnish symphonic metal band from Helsinki, formed in 1993. Originally a classical-style Metallica tribute band, the band eventually adopted a neoclassical metal style without the use of conventional guitars and bass. They have sold more than four million albums to date.
In 1996, the band released their debut studio album, Plays Metallica by Four Cellos. The album consisted of only eight Metallica covers (mostly from Master of Puppets and their self-titled The Black Album).

In 2005, Apocalyptica was on the track “Intro” from Bullet for My Valentine‘s album The Poison. The group performed with Marta Jandová and represented Baden-Württemberg in the Bundesvision Song Contest 2005 with the song “Wie weit”, placing 5th with 77 points.
In November 2008, Apocalyptica, featuring Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace, hit first at the BDS and Mediabase Active Rock radio charts with the single “I Don’t Care”. Later that month, the band ranked 3rd on Billboard’s Hot Modern Rock Track chart and 2nd on Billboard’s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, just after AC/DC and just ahead of Metallica, an ironic twist since the band’s origins lie in performing Metallica covers. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard rock chart, making Apocalyptica the first Finnish band to top the US charts.
On 19 March 2009, the song “I Don’t Care” was also featured in the 16th episode of Season 8 of the TV series Smallville.

On 6 May 2022, Apocalyptica was on the track “Someone To Talk To” from Three Days Grace‘s album Explosions.
