Finnish cello-rockers Apocalyptica are set to release a new album this summer. The word got out last week already, but it seems that nobody is paying attention/cares around here (so thanks Daggon). However, seeing this band has at least 250 fans on Metal Storm, this might be something you want to know. Anyway, here's the full news:

"Apocalyptica just announced a summer debut for their latest metal-inspired creation. The new album will follow up their chart-topping release Worlds Collide (released in 2007) featuring the #1 Billboard single "I Don't Care" produced by Howard Benson (Motörhead, Papa Roach, Sepultura). Three Days Grace front man Adam Gontier provided vocals for the track and sultry video, which became a top 20 fixture on the modern rock charts for nearly an entire year.

On this 7th studio album, fans can look forward to more of Benson's production as well as strong artistic direction from Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age, Coheed & Cambria), who is presently in Finland with the quartet perfecting the final details. Dave Lombardo of Slayer along with several other surprise guest musicians are also set to participate in the project.

Classically trained cellists Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Perttu Kivilaakso and drummer Mikko Sirén are currently putting finishing touches on the album and gearing up for their February invasion of Kaapelitehdas, Finland's world famous metal expo. By early March the band will return to Los Angeles and prepare to unveil the anticipated album on an international stage."

More news as we get it... (on time, we promise. - Ed.)

"This is on an official statement by the band about the illegal use of our song 'Path' in a tv and internet commercial in the Czech Republic.

Apocalyptica always supports minorities, stands up for human rights, respects every human being, no matter their colour, ethnic background or religion, worldwide.

Apocalyptica also supports the idea of a united Europe and the European Union.

We hope it is a clear statement that we would never allow the Czech Republican party 'Národní Strana' to use any of our music. The fact is, we were never asked if they could use our material.

Beside the fact that we are mortified by the illegal use, 'Národní Strana' has contravened the law with the owners of the rights for the song 'Path' in Czech Republic, who are Universal Music Publishing and Universal Music.

Both companies will start legal proceedings against the party now.

The following update was posted at Apocalyptica's website:

"Apocalyptica at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest Final: 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."
