Apoptygma Berzerk - You and Me Against The World

The 25th of February 2002 Apoptygma Berzerk gave the finger to the synth and electro genre when they released their album 'Harmonizer' and went from synth icon to produce chewing gum techno for Pokémon's. The 12th of September 2005 the band really stabbed the ones with hope in the back at the same way as Rayden efficiently destroyed his enemies in Mortal Kombat. All I can think of right now is what the heck Apoptygma Berzerk will perform at the Tinitus festival.

With the album 'You and me against the world' Apoptygma Berzerk has changed its musical style to something that mostly could be likened with Kent on happy pills or Placebo that mostly is just Placebo. An erotic media for the MTV-generation.

Even though Stefan Groth knows how to produce music in most genres, it's hardly what you had expected from the band.
