    Anyone ever heard of these guys? I heard their new song 'I'm not Jesus' on the radio yesterday and was blown away. I did some research and found out that these guys don't really have a vocalist. The vocals on 'I'm not Jesus' are by Corey Taylor of Slipknot.

    It turns out that this band is really unique. They orignally met at a Music Academy in Finland. They all play cellos, and they were all huge Metallica fans. They started doing Metallica covers with just their cellos (although sometimes they throw in drums or other instruments). They finally came out with their own album last year.

    Here's their cover of Metallica's One. Watch the whole thing, it picks up:

    Pretty awesome stuff even without a vocalist. It's amazing to see four metal guys on the cello banging their heads.

    I somehow stumbled upon them on Facebook with "Fade To Black". That's probably the best instrumental I've ever heard.
