Apocalyptica release new music video for ‘Ashes Of The Modern World’

APOCALYPTICA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Ashes Of The Modern World, is taken from the Finnish cello-rockers’ upcoming ninth studio album Cell-0 which is scheduled to be released in January next year.

The powerful video was directed by the award-winning Finnish photographer/videographer Ville Juurikkala who has worked with a wide variety of prominent artists from GUNS N’ ROSES and AEROSMITH to opera singer Andrea Bocelli.

The recording of Cell-0 followed a four-year break between albums that gave the band a fresh perspective and affected the way they approached the new music. The album sees them return to their roots and is the quartet’s first instrumental album in 17 years, finding APOCALYPTICA challenging themselves to discover new flavours and colours in their respective instruments.

“It is tough to express without lyrics, but in Cell-0, we found particles of our universe previously unknown to us,” they explain. “Millions of notes combine to create music just as millions of cells combine to create life, and when you visualize the whole thing, similar patterns appear.”

Produced by the band, mixed by Andrew Scheps (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, Lana Del Rey, METALLICA and BLACK SABBATH), and recorded at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki, Cell-0 sees the band soaring into ethereal space on Ashes Of The Modern World, while diving head-first into aggressive thrash cello-riffery during En Route To Mayhem.

“These new songs have so many layers and are so complex, and it’s not always easy to point exactly what they are about,” Eicca Toppinen expresses. “But I think that’s also the beauty of instrumental music, that the listener always can feel free to experience the same songs in very, very different ways. It’s also one reason why we don’t want to explain the songs before they’re experienced.”

Cell-0 is set for release on January 10th via Silver Lining Music.
