Apocalyptica é uma banda finlandesa formada por três violoncelistas e, desde 2005, um baterista. Tem como especialidade o "symphonic metal" (heavy metal com aspectos de sinfonia), tocando também música clássica.
O Apocalyptica foi formado em 1993 quando quatro violoncelistas (Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Max Lilja e Antero Manninen), se reuniram para fazer covers de Metallica no Teatro Heavy Metal Club.
Em 1996, lançaram o seu primeiro álbum, Plays Metallica by Four Cellos, onde é possível encontrar apenas covers de Metallica.
Em 1998, lançaram o seu segundo álbum, Inquisition Symphony, que, novamente, contém covers de Metallica. Porém, regravaram também músicas de Faith No More, Sepultura ePantera. Neste álbum a banda incluiu também três faixas originais compostas por Eicca Toppinen.
Em 1999, Antero Manninen deixou o grupo e foi substituído por Perttu Kivilaakso. Em 2000, a banda finlandesa lançou o terceiro álbum, Cult, contendo dez músicas originais e três covers. Em 2002, Max Lilja deixou o grupo e uniu-se a uma outra banda finlandesa, os Hevein, deixando os Apocalyptica apenas com três membros.
Em 2003, os Apocalyptica lançaram o seu quarto álbum, Reflections, que contém apenas músicas originais. Reflections caracterizou um som experimental, ao invés do anterior estilo acústico encontrado em Inquisition Symphony e Cult. Dave Lombardo, baterista do Slayer, tocou em cinco músicas deste álbum.
Em 2005, lançaram Apocalyptica, que contou com a participação de Mikko Sirén na bateria, e em Dezembro do mesmo ano este foi integrado como membro oficial da banda.
