Apocalyptica's brand new album, 'Worlds Collide': Produced
by long-time Rammstein muse Jacob Hellner, this is plainly
the pinnacle of the Finnish ingénues steadily accelerating
upward ascent; a dazzling collection of stunning
mini-epics that touches upon every aspect of the band's
history while introducing countless new ideas and
unexpected detours to their unmistakable sound. Or simply
put: a collection of great rock songs. Work began on the
record back in August 2006, and since then the 40 or so
songs the band wrote for the project have been whittled
down to a concise and flawless dozen, including
collaborations with Stone Sour/Slipknot frontman Corey
Taylor (on first single 'I'm Not Jesus'), Lacuna Coil's
sublime Cristina Scabbia, 3 Days Grace vocalist Adam
Gontier and again their long time friend and collaborator
Dave Lombardo. "It's been really exciting," enthuses
Toppinen. "For the last two albums we were producers, song
writers, everything. This time we opened the door for
different singers, a producer and even some co-writers.
We've allowed other elements to come into Apocalyptica's
world. It's been really interesting and exciting." When
Apocalyptica took centre stage as special guests at this
year's Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, millions of
music lovers around the world were blown away by the sight
and sound of a band that create an ear-boggling spectacle
wherever they go and who wear their uniqueness as a badge
of ho*nour. With the release of 'Worlds Collide',
Apocalyptica are poised to conquer hearts and minds all
over the globe "We have tried to deliver a world class
album," concludes Toppinen. "For us, it's an exciting
time. We have great people working for us and I'm
absolutely thrilled. For the first time in 11 years I feel
that the whole team is working together. With that team we
should be able to wake up all the people that knew about
Apocalyptica but wouldn't have bought a ticket or bought
the album before. We want to spread the word."

- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Dedicated to all those who still belive in good old hard fucking rock !! This
is for you my brothers...
Viking Skull was formed in 2003 by vocalist Roddy Stone, guitarists Frank
Regan and Darren Smith, bassist Waldie and drummer Gordon Morrison. They drew
deeply from Black Sabbath for inspiration then added a little AC/DC, WASP,
Motorhead, The Who, Kiss and Thin Lizzy for good measure. This, mixed with
whiskey drenched vocals; they forged an uncompromising brand of classic metal
of their own. They started life gigging/rehearsing at local jam nights in
Corby, Kettering and Rothwell, simply because it was free and each song
played earned you a free pint. Soon these jam nights started to get packed
out and people began asking for CDs, so they recorded and mixed their six
track demo, Chapter One, for £500 in just two days and released it in 2004
under the Grand Union Label.
Chapter One received rave reviews here in the UK, one of them being the only
band still to this date to have scored an impressive 11/10 in a Metal Hammer
album review. This quickly earned them support slots on tours with Dio, Him,
Sum 41, Wednesday 13, Alice Cooper, Brides of Destruction and a slot at
Download 2004. However due to a heavy touring schedule and with no label
support, cracks started to appear in the unit. The departure of Frank midway
through a Wednesday 13 tour meant Roddy had to quickly switch to both guitar
and vocals.
The vibe and energy in Skull remained untouched and people wanted more, so in
November 2005, they released the full-length album Born in Hell, but this
time the good reviews stretched all over the globe. After more heavy touring
with cKy, Clutch, Hayseed Dixie, Europe another slot at Download 2006 and
many own headline tours, it all came to a head one night in Köln on the
European cKy tour in Aug 2006. The mixture of Jess Margera supplying them
with absinthe and a lack of sleep (3 weeks sleeping in a transit van with no
cash), the band nearly killed each other…. Viking Skull was no more.
Gordon continued with his other band Raging Speedhorn, Darren gave up bands
for good to get a proper job and learn to play the banjo, Waldie just
listened to Whitesnake and Roddy never left his flat, living on a diet of
beans on toast and continued to write songs.
A few months passed and once Jess Margera heard the news of the split, he
called up Roddy to find out what happened and was gutted. Jess then offered
his services on drums to keep the band going. Roddy managed to get Waldie
back on board, got an old friend Jules Cooper to lend a hand in playing some
lead guitar and they travelled to Philadelphia to recorded their 3rd album
Chapter Two. This album also had guest appearances from Reverend Jim of
Fireball Ministry, the Brandywine Eel of Gnarkill, Unkle Matt and the
Shitbirdz and Chad I Ginsburg of cKy. It was released in 2007 on Filthy Note
Digital with a limited CD release in the USA. They also shot the video for
Blackened Sunrise, directed by long time supporter of the band, Bam Margera
Viking Skull are at their very best right now, the song writing has matured
and the legendary live shows just keep on getting better and better.
