On the heels of the success of Apocalyptica...

"We went at it with the fantasy that these songs in Latin were actually the original versions, and that Black Sabbath found and used them," Raud said. "Usually ... albums try to add modernity to known music. We did it the other way round."

Behold, Sabbatum!

I'm interested to hear this. It better not be a crappy joke like that faux-Gregorian version of Rod Stewart's "If ya think I'm sexy" that the wacky radio DJ's always played a few years back.

Quite frankly I thought the arrangement on the Apocalyptica albums was trite and predictable. My own version of "Orion" for String Quartet with Continuo was far more interesting.

I downloaded "Enter Sandman" from Apocalyptica. It was convincing but didn't seem very expressive. The solo was accurate, though. Almost too accurate. So I didn't buy it.

This sounds pretty cool, from the clips provided. They did have to take some liberties, not only because the lyrics were translated into another language, but because the songs as originally arranged were meant for big loud-ass electric guitars and a screaming male vocalist.

And there's just something cool about all those Latin names.

I get a 408 when I hit it.

Seems to be suffering from the /. effect.

I'll try again later.
