Formed by four like-minded cellists to create bizarre, wraithlike covers of heavy metal giants, Apocalyptica were an unlikely act to forge a lasting career. Yet over a decade after its debut CD, 1996's self-explanatory APOCALYPTICA PLAYS METALLICA BY FOUR CELLOS, took college radio by storm, the Finnish outfit were selling out arenas and scoring major rock hits. Far from a gimmick doomed to wear thin, Apocalyptica's cello rock dexterously explores the connection and chasm between classical and metal, balancing majestic, intricate covers with dark originals.

The group's sixth studio album continues their trend of dramatic, intense ensemble work that veers from sweeping lyricism to thunderous staccato riffing. Slayer's Dave Lombardo contributes drum work, upping the intensity considerably. Other guests include vocalists Christina Scabia, Corey Taylor, and Till Lindermann from Rammstein (who sings a German-language version of David Bowie's "Heroes"). Overall, WORLDS COLLIDE is a satisfying head-warp from these genre-smashing Swedes.
