Apocalyptica have released a visualizer for “The Call of Ktulu,” the final single from Apocalyptica Plays Metallica, Vol. 2, arriving this Friday (7th). The track features legendary Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, honoring Burton’s legacy, backed by Metallica and Burton’s family. The forthcoming record follows their symphonic tribute to Metallica that began in 1996.
Eicca Toppinen comments:
“I’ve learned in life that if you have crazy ideas it’s always worth asking, so I called Lars! He was like, ‘I love that you guys always think outside of the box!’ James (Hetfield) loved the idea, and I met one of Cliff’s close relatives and she did, too. It was a spiritual experience working on this. We wanted to treat this with honour and maximum respect, and it was magical to have people so close to Cliff say that he would have loved it.”
