As someone who's listening to Apocalyptica for the first time in a while, I don't understand the new vs old debate. But, what I can say is that if a band wishes to change, let them change. If you don't like their music, don't listen to it. End of story.
I love it! Seriously, i get that Franky isn't the "Metal voice" you are used to when it comes to Apocalyptica but COME ON! They guy is obviously a great singer and the sound he has with the band is awesome! I personally am a big fan of high range melodic vocals and Franky brings it! Saw them live Twice last week and he absolutely killed it! With the new and old songs. I know others don't agree but i hope he sticks around, Shadow maker (the song) Is brilliant!
Been a fan of Apocalyptica for a very long time, I think the vocalist does something for the band they've never had before, and it's a good thing. Can't wait to see them in April.
Come on people, it's not like Apocalyptica has actual words in every song they've ever put out. Every band changes it up from time to time. Regrdless I will still love them.
Here are the lyrics for my favourite song: Ignorance breeds fear, breeds hate, breeds violence Everything falls down and breaks in silence We could forgive and then forget and start over We could finally try it stone cold sober No more dark clouds over the horizon We killed it in cold blood Did it for so long God rest her soul Until there was no love Until it was all gone Nothing could grow We killed it in cold blood Loneliness is the curse of the broken hearted I came undone and you just fell apart Maybe some distance can heal us both now We had it once but we lost it somehow Maybe the dark clouds are finally behind us We killed it in cold blood Did it for so long God rest her soul Until there was no love Until it was all gone Nothing could grow We killed it in cold blood Ignorance breeds hate breeds voilence Everything breaks down in silence Your ignorance breeds hate breeds voilence Everything breaks down in silence We killed it in cold blood Did it for so long God rest her soul Until there was no love Until it was all gone Nothing could grow We killed it in cold blood
I see deep dark poetry and that's pretty much true here so could they ever shed light into the solution of the psychological situation? Again it takes a bully to stop one. From bully to a fucking hero, k? Win.
I've learned from Nightwish that I shouldn't rate an entire album by its first single, but I'm still a little more concerned now that the rest will follow this lead.
I actually have no problem with getting their own vocalist, but I don't like that the cellos don't sound like cellos anymore. I am a violinist myself. But the song is still so cool!!
I love the percussion instruments added in. My brother did marching band for many years and he played the snare. Snare player looks awesome. I judge more by the song than just liking a certain kind of music and I like this song. :)
is that metal , woow how long have i been asleep , miss the good old days when metal was metal, too bad the music industry doesn't support true metal no more
Boss-Man here from GSE: After reading a lot of the comments, I'm taking it upon myself to post one: Those of you who are "critic's" have your own opinions and you are welcome to them, true. However, if you are not a performer, band, artist or signed talent such as these people, myself or others, you have no real concept of creative freedom and expression at its heart, soul and core. You have "what you like or prefer" and that's all cool, that's called Fan-Fair and we all need it and want it, but please RESPECT the effort, talent, truly hard work and passion that is put into EVERY show, recording and production made by not just the artists, but by everyone involved with them from family to fans!
I liked Apocalyptica because they were special. They don't feature their Cello-Sound anymore, but it isn't that bad, altough I prefer other types of music. But music and musicians develop, so they maybe loose some old fans but get some new too. Music would be boring if all stayed the same, so why do fans always have to complain? Nobody wants to listen to musicians who can't identify with their own music. As long as musicians are happy with their sound, the 'real' fans should be too.
IO DICO :IL COMPLIMENTO E' ESPRESSO PER L 'ALTO UOMO VISO /FISICO .PERFETTO VISO PERFETTO ECCELLENTE VOCE ED IL VIDEO HA "L 'EFFETTO" DA ' PALCOSCENICO.
Wow! A lot of negative comments down below. Since when have we in musical history ever expected a band, musician or composer to remain the same through their musical life journey? (with the exception of Bach, not sure he really changed,.... can sense him 2 bars in!) If Apocalyptica remained the same they would be floating partially on the coat tails of Metallica? I think the boys deserve a lot more respect than that Studio recordings are made to be played on your stereo. How they achieve the same sound live will be and is an exciting adventure! Got my tickets for Vancouver! And I cant wait to see what they do with the songs live!
What a bunch of haters.....SMH Get a life people and quit criticizing a group of artists work. The only constant in life is change, roll with it!! True fans stick with the new, love it!!!
The sound is definitely the strong point of this song, as it always have been with you guys. Even tough I don't particlularry enjoy the lyrics I still want to listen to this for the epic cello sound. I really think you guys could sell this without the lyrics even.
Fanboys ruining everything cause "their band" took an awesome guy and made him sing greatly. Just wait, and you'll get your solos and instrumental again. This album is a master piece for Apocalyptica.
You all act as if the Cello players just up and left or something. Listen to the Cello playing in the background. Not the rawest Cello playing in this song in particular, but it still sounds strong and ties in very well throughout the album. I see this kind of thing in almost all metal band threads these days. I can't believe how narrow the playing field is for them that the music must conform to no matter what. I love everything Apocalyptica has done and I'm sure I will until they stop :) The band does what they want and I trust them to deliver what they think sounds good
Good to see apocalyptica back again , but this just doesn't work on so many levels. Don't change for the sake of change, just keep making powerful emotional music.
Those complaining about this song, the new vocalist and the band's new approach have more than likely not listened to the new album in its entirety. Have more than likely not watched any promotional interviews about the new album. Have more than likely not seen a live performance since the release. And should not consider themselves fans. While beginning this new album, the band didn't even have a record deal. So you're "sellout" theories are not only ridiculous, but untrue. They wanted their own voice for once. They've even said this was a selfish album because they were tired of guest vocalists (not that they're not appreciative and haven't loved those opportunities). It was getting old and repetitive. They wanted to create an album they were passionate about and loved. They wanted to be able to present the album live the way it should be since having only guest vocals limited that very much. They handpicked Franky. After hearing him sing a demo of the song Hole in My Soul (an incredibly beautiful song on the new album), they knew immediately he was their guy. They pushed back and rescheduled many opportunities in order to work with one of the best producers there is. They spent almost two months in Nashville in preproduction just to make this album as amazing as it is. They wanted a personal, more intimate sound. They wanted a big sound but not too huge. They wanted a band album. They're extremely proud of this album. Each member is so proud of it. Listen to the album in its entirety. Even though technically there are more vocal tracks, the instrumentals are so long and so epic that they take up half of thr albums time. Go see them live ASAP. Or just watch recent HD live performances on youtube. You'll see how amazing Franky is. He's so talented and so versitile. He can give you the heavy hitting screams and also give you those impeccably fragile notes. He's an astounding addition to the band. And those commenting "oh you're pop now. Fuck that. Blah blah blah" crap, shut up. This band is not afraid to admit that some of their music is pop. They don't claim to be an entirely metal band. They all love metal and they all enjoy playing it but they're not afraid to dabble in other genres. I mean, come on. Who cares about the genre? The music is good. The music is beautiful. Shadowmaker is Apocalyptica. This is not them selling out. This is them creating and presenting something that they did for their own selves. Yes, fans loving the music is important but they don't care in total about that. They care that they have released something they're passionate about, proud of and love deeply. This album is for them. We were just lucky they decided to share it with us.
+shelbie simpson FINALLY: someone who has spoken the truth about Apocalyptica and this amazing new album! Shadowmaker rocks in every track IMHO. It's good to see that they really want to change and innovate. Take me for example: I'm a classical musician, and I love progressive metal and symphonic metal. But even I'm getting tired to listen the same of the same in every new album. I'm really glad that they did something so unique and so catchy. I like it! I played this song 50 times or more today, and shared with my friends. Sometimes we all need a change. It's just a matter of time. And I'm glad they did it. It rocks, it's good, and they have my support! o/ (sorry about the bad english)

Diogo Fonseca First of all, you don't ever have to apologize for your English. It's great! You know more than one language and you're able to hold a conversation. I cannot say the same for myself or many other English-speaking people lol. And I'm glad there are others who agree with me. It was getting old coming to the video and seeing a new negative comment every day. This group of men work incredibly hard and this album is amazing. I'm glad they chose to do something different. It really shows how much they've grown from being a group of 4 cellos playing Metallica covers to a 3 cello, 1 drummer band with their own original work and now with their own vocalist. Each of the new songs are so beautifully crafted and I listen to the album daily! They have my full support as well.
+shelbie simpson I couldn't agree more! I'm a huge Apocalyptica fan, from their first album on. I've seen them live a few months ago, with Frank Perez, that man's got an incredible voice, awesome! And so is the new album. Apocalyptica's got my full support, then, now and in the future...
+shelbie simpson this band reminds me of Linkin Park, they are always coming up with new innovative sounds, and unlike most music out there that are cop outs they stay true to being innovative, simply a great band and concept
2024, it's still a great song! ❤
You can say that again brother
Or sister :D
As someone who's listening to Apocalyptica for the first time in a while, I don't understand the new vs old debate.
But, what I can say is that if a band wishes to change, let them change. If you don't like their music, don't listen to it.
End of story.
Thank You
Segun Olorunyomi
You're welcome.
I like both
Mother Moth
Cool
True. I really enjoy this, which is funny because usually I'm more into Death Metal (though my favorite band is Deftones)
Franky Perez adds the finishing touches in this already highly talented group of musicians
I love it! Seriously, i get that Franky isn't the "Metal voice" you are used to when it comes to Apocalyptica but COME ON! They guy is obviously a great singer and the sound he has with the band is awesome! I personally am a big fan of high range melodic vocals and Franky brings it!

Come on people, it's not like Apocalyptica has actual words in every song they've ever put out. Every band changes it up from time to time. Regrdless I will still love them.
Here are the lyrics for my favourite song:
Ignorance breeds fear, breeds hate, breeds violence
Everything falls down and breaks in silence
We could forgive and then forget and start over
We could finally try it stone cold sober
No more dark clouds over the horizon
We killed it in cold blood
Did it for so long
God rest her soul
Until there was no love
Until it was all gone
Nothing could grow
We killed it in cold blood
Loneliness is the curse of the broken hearted
I came undone and you just fell apart
Maybe some distance can heal us both now
We had it once but we lost it somehow
Maybe the dark clouds are finally behind us
We killed it in cold blood
Did it for so long
God rest her soul
Until there was no love
Until it was all gone
Nothing could grow
We killed it in cold blood
Ignorance breeds hate breeds voilence
Everything breaks down in silence
Your ignorance breeds hate breeds voilence
Everything breaks down in silence
We killed it in cold blood
Did it for so long
God rest her soul
Until there was no love
Until it was all gone
Nothing could grow
We killed it in cold blood
I see deep dark poetry and that's pretty much true here so could they ever shed light into the solution of the psychological situation? Again it takes a bully to stop one. From bully to a fucking hero, k? Win.
That eerie sqeaky noise is the saving grace of this song.
Frankie is awesome, i really like his voice
+1
I've learned from Nightwish that I shouldn't rate an entire album by its first single, but I'm still a little more concerned now that the rest will follow this lead.
They seriously have the coolest music videos ever
I absolutely love this song. It's a shame Frankie and Apocalyptica didn't work out
OMG! Beautiful!! Wonderful music! I love Apocalyptica. One of my favorite bands.
I never knew that 80% of songs I hear on radio are made by apocalyptica. I never knew this band is that important
Kiitos for all the years you have provided entertainment to my entire family! See you in Phoenix soon.
Franky shut my mouth, this song sounds amazing live!!!
why complain their music is creative diverse and better then most rock music out now of days
I usually don't like big changes when it comes to bands. This is a BIG change for Apocalyptica .. and I love it!! I love old and new Apocalyptica.
Purée ça fait tellement du bien de vous entendre, vivement que je vous vois en concert !!!
De verdad no puedo creer que haya tanta gente que le de para atrás al tema, amo la claridad de esos chelos
Killed it in cold blood, along with the uniqueness.
I actually have no problem with getting their own vocalist, but I don't like that the cellos don't sound like cellos anymore. I am a violinist myself. But the song is still so cool!!
I am watching this video like again and again. I love it!
I wish this was on spotify😭😭 this album is so good
Clara Bibiloni It is now :)
i'm going to see you guys in Croatia on october the 15,can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! totally addicted to this song!!!!!!!!!!!!,
I love their music old and new
Amazing song! Saw these guys in Toronto, and they rocked!
I haven't listened to these guys in a long time. I come back only too hear this?
the songs from this album sound nice
I'm loving this singer.
This is true art in every aspect. Brilliant.
Franky Perez excelente voz!!!!
I love this song! The olders are wonderful but this is amazing too, strong, deep and pasionated!
"Anyone who says that other people's music sucks, is really not listening..."
I love the percussion instruments added in. My brother did marching band for many years and he played the snare. Snare player looks awesome. I judge more by the song than just liking a certain kind of music and I like this song. :)
Dude voice makes birds fly into the cold!
is that metal , woow how long have i been asleep , miss the good old days when metal was metal, too bad the music industry doesn't support true metal no more
I'm in love, really. They were great in Ljubljana.
Love these Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this music is too well
I love Apocalyptica since 2000 (when I listened to them for the first time) and still like their music(:
I love them guys, greetings from Perú.
apocalíptica is great!!!
First saw you guys perform in Tucson AZ in 2008. Been a big fan since!
This song is awesome...
Ich liebe diese Musik über Alles!

Why was I never told about this band!!!?????? This is amazing!
Magnifico🎉❤!! Que música más perfecta ❤
Love if u making a song with Tuomas Saukkonen or Johan Hegg as vocalist
Great idea! Marco Hietala would also be nice as a vocalist...
DaimozTube Johan Hegg???? OMG! I would die to see such a thing, it's an amazing idea dude (or girl)
what it called
@@radioactiveraspberry8622 yeah!
What a song what a song😊
I'm actually loving the vocals and the new sound. The whole album in general as well and can't wait to see you guys tonight in Belgrade :)
Masterpiece
singer is underrated
Happy Birthday Perttu Kivilaakso!!!

As always, Apocalyptica's videos never disappoint me! Amazing work.

Apocalyptica's cello signature that made me being crazy about... is missing... Still I Like the song and the Video is great! never stop loving you!
Good to see apocalyptica back again , but this just doesn't work on so many levels.
Don't change for the sake of change, just keep making powerful emotional music.
I really loved it...thought it was beautiful!
Awesome job on the song and video
You guys are awesome!
That moment when you realise the video is better than the song itself.
Loved video and song!
For me it's incredible good! I very like Franky's voice!
Ja weil sie die besten sind !!!!!!
yeah wusste ichs doch ^^
As usual, unbelievably good!
