Apocalyptica is a Finnish symphonic metal band from Helsinki, formed in 1993. The band is composed of classically trained cellists. Originally a classical-style Metallica tribute band, the band eventually adopted a neoclassical metal style without the use of conventional guitars and bass. They have sold over four million albums.
The Paesold company can trace its roots back over 170 years, a heritage that they are proud of and one they maintain to this day. The experience of master instrument and bow makers has been passed down, generation to generation, to their skilled and dedicated luthiers today who continue to use the skills and knowledge from the past.
The past generations have imbued the traditions and craft into the company as they continue to build some of the finest stringed instruments and bows available. There is a sense of the past in the workshops and this is reflected in what they make now.
