Apocalyptica! Yeah!

So... was that a baroque Nothing Else Matters at the end, or did Metallica steal some Ukrainian melody?

Beautiful. Thank you.

Some uninformed information from a and for westerners:

source -> "Polish soldiers murdered Ukrainian civilians in the eastern village of Pawlokoma in March 1945 in revenge for the killing by Ukrainians of about 10 Poles."

Sand art set to Metallica = win!

Ahhh that's like a William Kentridge animation!

Beautiful. This is obviously a new artform, and this example is obviously the most impactful to date.

no, she stole Apotaliptica's version of Metallica's nothing else matters.

Wtf?


Beautiful video! Beats that Susan Boyle crap any day.

For those who don't know, this is from a Ukrainian show called "So You Think You Can Sand Draw"

what a beautiful talent. at some points, it embodies the simplicity of sand drawing in its purest form, at others it's almost like a painting, and at still others, it's almost animation.

@rottenseed: i laughed in spite of myself.

A lot like Cako, very cool:
