Apocalyptica have shared their cover of Metallica’s “The Call Of Ktulu.” The track, which includes the late Cliff Burton’s original bassline, is taken from the group’s new covers album “Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol. 2.” That effort will be available on June 7. Eicca Toppinen commented:

“I’ve learned in life that if you have crazy ideas it’s always worth asking, so I called Lars [Ulrich]! He was, like, ‘I love that you guys always think outside of the box!’ James [Hetfield] loved the idea, and I met one of Cliff’s close relatives and she did too. It was a spiritual experience working on this. We wanted to treat this with honor and maximum respect, and it was magical to have people so close to Cliff say that he would have loved it.”
