Hey! We're a cello-metal band from Finland...our concept is kinda different as we perform mainly instrumental music with Cellos…but it's loads of fun!

You may remember that we were playing Metallica covers using these lovely creepy-sounding cellos. You may have also heard some of our many collaborations like Corey Taylor, Adam Gontier, Till Lindemann, Nina Hagen, Max Cavalera etc.

Now we tour all around the world we are able to play with great orchestras at cool rock clubs and festivals in amazing countries meeting lovely audiences, shooting beautiful videos and working with inspiring dudes and dudesses... I love my job.
