Pop and Rock Gems by Apoptygma Berzerk 

Cover versions have always played a special role throughout the 15-year career of Apoptygma Berzerk. Even their last studio album, “You And Me Against The World” featured a cult classic: “Shine On”, originally by The House Of Love, stayed in heavy rotation for ages. Now Apoptygma Berzerk present “Cambodia”, their rock-anthem version of the 1982 Kim Wilde hit, kicking off the countdown to “Sonic Diary”(both released on Dec. 1st). This album is a compilation of all the cover versions Apoptygma Berzerk have recorded over the course of their long career – often simply as single B-sides or EPs: From Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” to The Cure’s “A Strange Day” and “Electricity” from OMD, from “Ohm Sweet Ohm” by electro-godfathers Kraftwerk to “Coma White” from shock-rocker Marilyn Manson. The album also features an extra bonus of three new, previously unreleased cover versions: “Bend And Break” byKeane, “The Damned Don’t Cry” by Visage and “Bizarre Love Triangle” from New Order.

If you already liked the originals, then you’re going to love “Sonic Diary”! Skeptics will be surprised just how originally a classic can be revamped. APOP don’t just interpret these songs; they make them their own!

And the limited edition release of the album also contains a 9-song bonus CD featuring some fantastic new remixes.
