APOCALYPTICA: Special Guest in 2007 Eurovision Song Contest show!!!

Finnish cellomasters Apocalyptica have posted the following blogentry on their official Myspace:

APOCALYPTICA will perform in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest Final as Special Guests (not in the actual competition). They will bring their trailblazing brand of metal to the show's final entertainment climax, blending old hits and previewing tracks from new album in an 8 minute medley.  Classical sounds of Metallica and Sepultura beamed out to over a BILLION viewers!!!!!

The 2007 final continues along the direction the 2006 winners Lordi had previously marked out, promising fantasy, fun and rock. Lordi will also naturally participate in the event, opening the whole ceremony themselves with a live performance. The television broadcast this year will also witness some amazing real-time, slow-motion images which are incredibly rare in modern live broadcasting, and totally breathtaking.

APOCALYPTICA also release the live DVD 'The Life Burns Tour' on May the 14th across the UK on Columbia, support Metallica on July 16th in Helsinki, and are building up to the release of the debut record on Columbia in September (TBC) which will feature a whole host of incredible guest stars who are at the forefront of the hard rock/metal scene…to be revealed in the coming weeks…
