Apoptygma Berzerk

The Apopcalytic Manifesto

Metropolis

I’ve been trying ever so gracefully to separate myself from the industrial genre over the past year or two. Apoptygma Berzerk seems to be something that has grabbed a hold of my aggressive nature and screamed, “WAKE UP!” I’m reminded of some sort of strange crossbreed between X Marks the Pedwalk, Wumpscut, and poppy dark-electro. Sometimes I wish I still spent a couple of nights a month hidden in some dark Fetish Club in the middle of nowhere just to let out some of those less happy thoughts that plague mankind. Maybe I’ll venture back someday and Apoptygma Berzerk will be spinning on the sound system. Metropolis Records, P.O. Box 54307, Philadelphia, PA 19105; http://www.metropolis-records.com
