The recording of ‘Cell-0’ followed a four-year break between albums that gave the band a fresh perspective and affected the way they approached the new music. The album sees them return to their roots and is the quartet’s first instrumental album in 17 years, finding Apocalyptica challenging themselves to discover new flavours and colours in their respective instruments.

“It is tough to express without lyrics, but in ‘Cell-0’, we found particles of our universe previously unknown to us,” the band explain, before adding “Millions of notes combine to create music, just as millions of cells combine to create life, and when you visualize the whole thing, similar patterns appear.”

Rather than put strategic attention on aspects like writing singles, the band approached ‘Cell-0’ as a fully-formed piece of art, connecting the right details and hues with the energy of being a real cello-metal band.  By pushing themselves to find other places and levels in their music, Apocalyptica opened up to some seemingly unorthodox methods and emotions while traveling through that creative process.

“These new songs have so many layers and are so complex, and it’s not always easy to point exactly what they are about,” Toppinen expresses. “But I think that’s also the beauty of instrumental music, that the listener always can feel free to experience the same songs in very, very different ways. It’s also one reason why we don’t want to explain the songs before they’re experienced.”
