Apocalyptica – Plays Metallica

Plays Metallica by Four Cellos is the debut album by Finnish metal band Apocalyptica, released in 1996. It features eight instrumental Metallica covers arranged and played on cellos. The band was invited to record this album by a label employee after a 1995 show in which they performed some of the songs. The members were initially unsure and thought nobody would listen to such a record, but the employee insisted and they recorded it.

A Metallica album with no members of Metallica? How about a Metallica tribute album with nothing but cellos? That is what Apocalyptica did in 1996 when they released Apocalyptica Plays Metallica By Four Cellos. No rendition of songs from Metallica's first album, but it does have one from Ride The Lightning, "Creeping Death". Mercury turned these thrash metal dreams into classical reality.
