It was maybe 4 years ago when I finally heard about these guys from an online acquaintance. I was aking her for some darkwave musicians and she kind of told me of the few artist that she listend to (she wasn't familure with alot of sub-genres). So I gave them a listen and I didn't like them at first, it sounded too happy and I just started discovering darkwave music so I wasn't in an upbeat mood. I kept the songs I had because I knew that somethings grow on me. One day I decided why not give them a listen and I started really enjoying it. I aslo relized that they where a bit darker then I when first listend. Soon after I was listening and finding more bands like them with synthpop mixed into their futurepop sound, I couldn't really compair them to other bands.
Apoptygma Berzerk started in 1989 by the members Stephan Groth and Jon Erik Martinsen. APOP came from Norway. Fredrikstad, Norway to be exact. They only recored a few demos and then Martinsen left the band because he was unhappy with the path the band was taking.
They've released 6 studio albums, 3 live albums, 2 dvd's, 14 singles and have been put on numorous compilation.
The band has had many members come in and out from it and only one still remains, Stephan Groth, The lead vocalist (he also does the programing and everything else in the studio).
My favorite album from them is "7" which was releast in 1996, Favorite song is Non-Stop Violence

About Me
- Fuzzy Machine
- My name is Dion Williams (A.K.A. Fuzzy Machine). I find my self kindled by the fashion, music and life style of the average industrialist. I leaned onto this life style, just to give it a peak and I found my self being swallowed whole. I know this is where I belong. And I know this is where I'll stay. So that I am, amongst the many, just another RivitHead.
