In popular music, the cello was used to good effect in the [[Beatles]]' songs ''Eleanor Rigby'' and ''I am the Walrus''- and has also recently crossed over into a more modern genre with the appearance of the band Apocalyptica in Finland and has come to international acclaim. Apocalyptica initially started off playing [[Metallica]] music on four cellos but have recently branched out into original pieces.
