Apocalyptica are commemorating the year of Richard Wagner’s 200th birthday with a live album release Wagner Reloaded- Live In Leipzig. The live collaboration with the MDR Leipzig Symphony Orchestra is set to launch November 19 on BMG. The album contains new material, songs Apocalyptica infused with symphonic elements inspired by Wagner, performed with a choir, symphony and theatrical performances. The band’s last full studio album 7th Symphony was released in 2010, and while it was more straight ahead rock and roll, the cellists have really done something different this time. The only way we can describe if after seeing this video is “really heavy classical music.”
