The Finnish cello metal band from Helsinki, Finland, was formed in 1993. The band is composed of classically trained cellists Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, and Perttu Kivilaakso (all three of whom are graduates of the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki), drummer Mikko Sirén, and vocalist Franky Perez.
Originally a Metallica classical tribute band, the band eventually adopted a neoclassical metal style without the use of conventional guitars. They have sold over four million albums to date.
I am a Brazilian journalist, a Classic Rock and Heavy Metal lover.
Music has always been part of my life, helped me through tough moments and was with me to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After college I did a postgraduate degree in digital communication. This has helped me to make the website better and bring the best of classic rock to the world!
