Heavy Cello – the New Music Genre

I mentioned recently the ‘irrepressible gift of music’. It’s more irrepressible than I might have imagined.

Apparently, four guys met at an elite Finnish music conservatory. They shared a love for classical music and for heavy metal. They were cellists. That is apparently a volatile mix, for what you end up with is shown below.

This is not for the faint of heart. But you have to see it to believe it.

Look, (Yo-Yo) Ma, no electric guitar!

I am wondering about their parents – sending their boys off to the conservatory, picturing them someday playing concerti with major orchestras. There’s a story there somewhere.

Thanks to Matthew for putting me on to these guys.
