APOCALYPTICA On ALTITUDE's 'Gibson Green Room'; Video Available

May 20, 2008

Finnish cello quartet APOCALYPTICA took part in an interview and performance last month on the "Gibson Green Room" show on Altitude (TV for your cell phone). The band discusses its roots, getting SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR's Corey Taylor to sing on its hit "I'm Not Jesus" and the difference between touring Finland and America. The clip, which also features a live acoustic performance of "I'm Not Jesus", can be viewed below.

APOCALYPTICA enlisted FUEL frontman Toryn Green to handle lead vocals on the quartet's recent North American tour, which began on April 11 and concluded yesterday (Monday, May 19). The group initially enlisted vocalist Johnny Andrews, who co-wrote the band's current single, "I'm Not Jesus", to sing on the trek, but Andrews was replaced after just a handful of shows. In addition to "I'm Not Jesus", Andrews also co-wrote another track called "S.O.S. (Anything But Love)". Both tunes are from APOCALYPTICA's new album, "Worlds Collide", which arrived in stores in the U.S. on April 15.

Other guests on "Worlds Collide" include THREE DAYS GRACE frontman Adam Gontier, LACUNA COIL singer Cristina Scabbia, drummer Dave Lombardo from SLAYER and vocalist Till Lindemann of RAMMSTEIN.

Cristina Scabbia has confirmed that she will perform with APOCALYPTICA at this year's Download festival on Sunday, June 15 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, UK.

Cristina will sing the epic ballad "S.O.S. (Anything But Love)", which was featured on "Worlds Collide", and was released as a single earlier this year, accompanied by a suitably dark and lavish video. "S.O.S. (Anything But Love)" was also featured in the new motion picture "Stone's War" a science-fiction war movie based on a story of Finnish soldiers during World War 2.
