A man is capable of changing all of humanity, as an instrument of all music.
How it sounds
Like rock/metal with cello and other strings played with a bow, but not a gypsy orchestra.
Basically like Symphonic rock, just the orchestration is basically with strings with the cello having a more prominent position.
Why listen to it
Because the cello gives a “sweetness” to the sound and generally fits rock/metal like honey to toast.
Why not
Extremely aristocratic, it has no-nonsense and is suitable for operas and music venues rather than for smoke-filled clubs.
Where we meet it
In the UK
When did it start
Early 1970s
Who are the pioneers
The Electric Light Orchestra, considered to be the band of the same name as their debut band, known in America as “No Answer”, laid the foundations for the genre.
However, the Finnish Apocalyptica breathed new life into the species in the mid-1990s.
You have to listen
Break Of Reality, Hevein, Tina Guo, Clawed Forehead, Cello Fury, Leecher, 2Cellos

Red card
The “flags” of the species have a lack of composition.

How do you describe it to an irrelevant
Some hairs with leather play classical music, like metalheads but instead of guitars, they hold cello.
