The Norwegian industrial band
Apoptygma Berzerk is actually one Stephan Groth, sometimes known as Grothesk. Groth released his first single as
Apoptygma Berzerk in 1991 and got his international break with an appearance on the Sex, Drugs and E.B.M. compilation. He signed with Metropolis Records, which issued a career summation in 1998 entitled
The Apopcalyptic Manifesto, a collection of early singles and tracks from the Norwegian album
Soli Deo Gloria. The full-length, all-new
7 followed later in the year, and in early 2000
Apoptygma Berzerk resurfaced with
Welcome to Earth.
Kathy's Song followed a year later. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
