You’ve never heard Slipknot on cello before

You’ve never heard Slipknot on cello before

by Bram Teitelman | Oct 23, 2017 | Metal Memes, Video

Of all the classical music instruments out there, cello is probably the most metal. It’s low, heavy and mournful, but also has a pretty great attack. Apocalyptica realized that a long time ago, and have built their career off of it. More recently, we’ve...
