Apocalyptica - Worlds Collide

Apocalyptica has been grinding away since their 1996 release of their Metallica cover album. These cellists continually put out solid albums, though they soon moved away from their cover band approach to writing their own material. The 2001 album, Cult, introduced some vocalists on two tracks and they've been bringing in a few vocalists here and there since that release to support some of their songs. Although with this album, they've gotten some big names to contribute. It sounds like Corey Taylor provides vocals on the track "I'm Not Jesus." Rammstein's singer does the vocals on the David Bowie cover "Heroes," which sung in german is called "Helden." At first this struck me as out of place, because I wouldn't have though his vocal style would mesh well with Apocalyptica, but it turned out well. The singer of Three Days Grace, who I don't think I've ever heard does the song "I Don't Care." And the lovely Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil, rounding out the guest list, does a wonderful job on "S.O.S."

Here's the video for "I'm Not Jesus."
