I just found this amazing group, originally four cellos, now three plus a drummer. Well worth a look. Their first album was a cover of Metalica with the grungy guitar type distortion added to the cello. It works much better now they’ve added the drummer, and there are a few songs that I am pretty well fooled into believing this is a metal band. There’s the slight classy effect of bowing though that adds a new layer to it. I can see them being the underpinning for the soundtrack to Forgotten. I always imagined something like a rock opera as the genre of music to back up the movie. This is totally the group to pull that off too. Their latest album, Worlds Collide, features the lead singers of Ramstien and Three Days Grace. It’s tight. Not exactly Nine Inch Nails, but with the help of additional instrumentals from other rock groups, they would be perfect for what I want. And they’re worth the twenty bucks to pick up a couple of their albums from iTunes.
