Apocalyptica
Hi Eicca. How did you come up with the name Apocalyptica initially?
E: Well, when we started out, we didn’t think we’ll last long, we thought we’d do a couple of gigs, maybe sell a thousand albums and quietly go away, so we didn’t really have a name. It was the record label guy that suggested it, after we said, we wanted something like Metallica – ICA… that sounded like big and bold. Apocalypse seemed like a good idea.

Apocalyptica - Cell-0
I must have watched Apocalyptica performing on several occasions, both them doing their metal “covers” but also their original material as well.

Giancarlo Erra to release debut solo album “Ends” on April 12th 2019
On his debut solo album “Ends”, Giancarlo Erra ably demonstrates a masterful gift for producing timelessly intimate and profoundly affecting music.
Comprising a suite of eight thematically linked instrumentals, “Ends” deploys sparse piano patterns, synth textures, eerily beautiful string quartet performances, and subtle electronic pulses to create a compelling whole that establishes Erra as a composer of rare sensitivity and singular purpose.

The album vividly brings these compositions to life with a new and powerful sound.
