Celloverse [Import Disc]

[Machine Translation] A rock universe created by two superb cellos! 2CELLOS' 3rd album is now complete! 4 years after their shocking debut on YouTube on January 20, 2011, in which they captured the world's attention by uploading a video of their performance of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal," 2CELLOS has finally completed their 3rd album. The theme of the third album, which is the first studio album in two years, is "Back to Basics". The second album was produced by Bob Ezrin, and featured Elton John, Steve Vai, and other guests. This time, with the exception of two songs, the two cellists are the main performers, and they focus on the expression of the cello to the fullest. The new Michael Jackson cover, Iron Maiden's "Trooper," which became a YouTube sensation for its unique mashup of classical music and metal that could only be performed by the band, and AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," which has been viewed 30 million times around the world, are just a few examples of the band's ever-improving skills. The album also includes a cover of AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," which has been viewed 30 million times around the world, and other edgy and superb performances that have become more and more polished. Luka also covers Hans Zimmer's "Inception," a masterpiece of film music that he adores, and the contrast between "stillness" and "movement" is vivid in this ambitious work. Don't miss the second 2CELLOS original, "Cello Verse," with its beautiful cello sound that captivates the listener! The 2 Cellos will be touring in the U.S. from the second half of February, so keep an eye out for them in 2015.
