Perttu Päivö Kullervo Kivilaakso (born 11 May 1978) is a cello player for Finnish band Apocalyptica.[1] Like fellow band members Eicca Toppinen and Paavo Lötjönen, he attended Sibelius Academy in Helsinki.[2][3] He plays a German 19th century cello; he started playing the cello when he was 5 years old[4] and joined Apocalyptica for their third studio album Cult.[5] Kivilaakso played in Apocalyptica's 1995 line up, but he was concentrating on his studies when the band began their professional career. At the end of 1999 he came back,[5] switching places with Antero Manninen, who then went to play in a classical orchestra.
