Apoptygma Berzerk is a synth-rock/futurepop musical group from Norway. It has achieved moderate commercial success with a unique brand of gloomy, danceable gothic synthpop, winning awards and top-10 spots in Germany and Scandinavia. Apoptygma Berzerk (abbreviated to APB or Apop) has toured Europe, North America, and Israel with bands such as VNV Nation and Icon of Coil.
The band was formed by Stephan Groth and Jon Erik Martinsen in 1986. They recorded a few demos, including Victims of Mutilation. Jon Erik left the band shortly afterwards feeling uncomfortable with the direction of the band’s music.
Groth’s lyrics take a decided pro-Christian (albiet an unusual twist on that religion) view, rather than the more typical blatantly anti-Christian (most specifically anti-Catholic) views used by many goth/dark/gloomy groups. While quiet about his faith, Groth is always open about the subject when asked. Although this is not always evident on any given song, or album. For example, ‘Welcome To Earth’ is almost entirely about the relationship of human beings to the rest of the universe and other potential intelligent life (and love), whereas the album ‘7’ has a much more overt religious flavor.
All of the band’s lyrics are in English.

it has taken me quite a few years to appreciate the newest stuff. it was only when i was given an assignment to create a radio friendly song (music production student) that i realized that the stuff i enjoyed creating wasn't too dissimilar from the stuff on you and me against the world, which further gave me even more inspiration to make the stuff i was making, and thus making me appreciate the cd even more!

I almost forgot how awesome old Apop was, new Apop is just simply nice. Rocket Science is a disappointment even as a pop album. You and me... was so much better if it comes to pop. But still their old stuff are my favourite - Welcome to Earth and Soli Deo Gloria :)
