Kari Hynninen from Zen Garden Recards saw the cellist performing at a heavy-metal evening in club Teatro, Helsinki and had the idea to record Apocalyptica's music. Until this moment Apocalyptica was a pure "side project", but when entering the studio in March 1996, a huge step was set in the career of Apocalyptica.

Before the making of the album, only 3 songswere arranged: Creeping Death, Master of Puppets and Sanitarium. The arrangement of the other songs was ready just before the recording started, and some arrangements took even until the last second of recording.

When the recording started the original idea how to do it was classical: four cellos would be playing in the auditorium and the microfones would be placed at different distances. But the asking of an astronomical rent by Sibelius-Academy crossed our plan. We had to withdraw to the tiny little studio in the Sibelius-Academy and therefore we were forced to reconsider our idea. For the basic tracks of the album we recorded two cellos at a time, after that recording one cello at a time. The making of the album was one great expedition. Nobody had a real clear picture how the album hadto sound like and we decided to go with the original cello-sound and touse only a tiny little bit of fragments.

We had been playing some Sepultura songs, but for all clarity we decided to have a pure Metallica coveralbum. The opening track had to be a song which everyone would recognizeasone of Metallica. And what would have been more suitable than EnterSandman! Our heavy-cello technique was "embryonic" and therefore we had to discard the most difficult (in other words:fastest) songs, like Blackened, Damage Inc. and One. The song One can now be found on our latest album Inquisition Symphony. (The classical cello education was not of much use forthe fastest metal-songs.)

For radiostations a music video and a single-version has been produced of Enter Sandman as well as of The Unforgiven. The debut-album of Apocalyptica (Plays Metallica by 4 Cellos) is owned byover 300.000 inhabitans of the world! At the moment the album isavailable at a Mid-Price all over the world.
