«Apocalyptica plays Metallica Vol. 2" was released on June 7th and focuses not on Metallica's hits, but on deep cuts and personal highlights. For their cover track "The Call Of Ktulu", Apocalyptica were allowed to use original bass tracks by the late bassist Cliff Burton. The musician died in a bus accident in 1986. The original song "The Call Of Ktulu" appeared on Metallica's 1984 album "Ride The Lightning". Both the band and Cliff Burton's family were behind the idea of commemorating the musician with the Apocalyptica cover. Cellist Eicca Toppinen comments:
I've learned in life that if you have crazy ideas, it's always worth asking, so I called Lars. He said, "I love that you guys always think outside the box!" James (Hetfield) loved the idea. I met with one of Cliff's close relatives and she loved it too. It was a spiritual experience working on this project. We wanted to treat it with honor and maximum respect and it was magical that people so close to Cliff said he would have loved it.
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
