METALLICA's LARS ULRICH Interviewed By APOCALYPTICA's EICCA TOPPINEN; Audio Available

August 19, 2008

A 23-minute audio interview with METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich conducted by Eicca Toppinen of the Finnish cello quartet APOCALYPTICA at the one-day Ozzfest on August 9, 2008 in Frisco, Texas is available for streaming at Metallica.com.

Professionally filmed video footage of APOCALYPTICA performing a rendition of the METALLICA song "Enter Sandman" on June 29, 2008 at the Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel, Belgium can be viewed below (courtesy of Belgium's TMF channel).

APOCALYPTICA recruited FUEL frontman Toryn Green to handle lead vocals on the quartet's North American tour, which began on April 11 and concluded on May 19. The group initially enlisted 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 SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor, LACUNA COIL singer Cristina Scabbia, drummer Dave Lombardo from SLAYER and vocalist Till Lindemann of RAMMSTEIN.

Cristina Scabbia performed with APOCALYPTICA at this year's Download festival which was held June 13-15 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, UK.
