One more Apocalyptica-plays-Metallica, this one from the album quite accurately named Apocalyptica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos (Amazon.com), with the song Enter Sandman from Metallica's fifth album, allegedly self-titled, although everyone knows it as the Black Album (Amazon.com).

By this time in Metallica's career, they had simplified so far beyond where the started that, if a die hard fan from days of old listens to this album at all, they consider it the band's last album.

Despite all that, I find they still translate excellently to four cellos, and, even in this state of weakness, provide some good music.

Here's a live performance that differs from the recorded offering indicated above by including a drummer and reducing the number of cellos by one. The crowd knows all the words:
