The North American metal scene is about to get a dose of culture and innovation this summer as Finnish metal cellist trio Apocalyptica and Mongolian folk metal band The Hu have announced a joint tour, supported by Finnish rockers The Rasmus. The tour kicks off on May 12 in Silver Spring, Maryland, and promises to be a unique blend of traditional and symphonic instruments in a heavy metal setting.
Apocalyptica, originally a Metallica tribute band, has evolved over the years to become a force in their own right, combining classical technique with the aggression of heavy metal. With 10 studio albums under their belt, Apocalyptica has solidified their reputation as pioneers in bridging classical music with metal. The trio, comprised of Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, and Perttu Kivilaakso, is sure to bring a dynamic and captivating performance to the stage.
The Hu, on the other hand, burst onto the scene in 2016 with their unique blend of Mongolian throat singing and traditional instruments fused with heavy metal. Their 2018 hit “Wolf Totem” topped the charts, making them the first Mongolian musicians to achieve such success. With their debut album “The Gereg” released in 2019, The Hu has been making waves globally, even being awarded the Order of Chinggis Khaan for their efforts in promoting Mongolian culture.
The upcoming tour promises to be a must-see event for metal fans across North America. Ticket pre-sales begin this Wednesday, with general sales starting on Friday morning. VIP packages, including special meet-and-greet opportunities, will also be available for those looking to enhance their concert experience.
As Apocalyptica, The Hu, and The Rasmus join forces on stage, audiences can expect a blend of cultures, genres, and musical styles that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Don’t miss your chance to witness this innovative collaboration live in concert.
This summer, prepare to be swept away by the music of Apocalyptica, The Hu, and The Rasmus as they bring their unique sounds and energy to stages across North America.
