Biography
Norway (1989 – present)
In 1989, Stephan Groth and Jon Erik Martinsen formed Apoptygma Berzerk in Norway. They wrote several songs, one of them “Ashes To Ashes” would later be released as a 12” single on the Norwegian label Tatra Productions in 1991. Martinsen left the band shortly afterwards feeling uncomfortable with the direction of the band’s music. Since then the band had many lineup changes, Groth being the only constant members.
Stephan Groth claims that the band name was randomly picked out of a dictionary. Apoptygma is an old Greek word for the fold of a woman’s garment. Technically the ‘y’ ought to be pronounced like a long ‘u’, but the band’s name is commonly pronounced a-pop-TIG-ma or a-pop-TEEG-ma.
Apoptygma Berzerk released six studio albums so far: Soli Deo Gloria in 1993, 7 in 1996, Welcome To Earth in 2000, Harmonizer in 2002, You and Me Against the World in 2005, and Rocket Science in 2009.

Kathy's Song is a masterpiece of dystopic romantic meloncholy. I love to use it in a movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXRmvDx1ZK8
