Triple Torture Tuesday x2 – Apoptygma Berzerk

YES YES AND OH GOD YES!
This is the very FIRST, Numero Uno remix video ever posted on Industrial Addiction and it is AMAZING in not only the song BUT video! Today is a good day.
Now this song is called Love to Blame [DJ Lee Perception Mix]. This DJ did an EXCELLENT JOB on remixing this already beautifully intoxicating song. Apoptygma Berzerk has been around since 1989 and has been blasting their musical blissfulness world-wide since!
As of late though, Apoptygma Berzerk is becoming more Synth-Pop than what they originally started out sounding. Some say that the band has steadily declined after their Harmonizer album debuted in 2004. Others say it started after their 1999 release of Welcome To Earth.
Sometimes fans tend to disregard the fact that industrial has the sub-genre of SYNTH-POP for a reason. It does sound popish but it carries that familiar industrial beat. Though I have to agree, the band keeps changing their tunes and is becoming, regrettably, more mainstream pop than Synth-pop. I really hope that isn’t their goal since the band has been around for so long and so many people have enjoyed them over the reason.
That’s like a smoker switching a brand of cigarettes just because everyone else is smoking them and they want to fit in. COMEPLETELY RETARDED. Before I go on a rant on how retarded it is that some industrial bands go mainstream just for the money involved, I’ll cut myself sort and bite my tongue…
… for a few paragraphs that is.
The remix of Love To Blame has that techno-ish “buzz buzz bleep beeeep buzz”, sound to it, but it is done with a very subtle touch that it doesn’t take away from the industrial beat. It actually compliments the original beat and adds a deeper feeling and UMPFH to the song. The song is still cream-your-pants-tastic, though, without the remix which makes this a number 1 song; the Music Billboards are proof of that statement.
Overall the remixed song and music video is very well done and really doesn’t need improvement save for that fact of the random damn people showing up during the music video and throwing off the whole story.
First the woman is with an older baldy putting on a coat, and then out of LITERALLY NOWHERE a younger mate with colored peach fuzz on his face comes up and tries being all intimate. Alright fine… industrial music videos are known to make little sense but Christ guys you had SOMETHING going. Don’t screw it up by throwing in random people that could be considered “semi-attractive”.
Oh, whoops, too late. It’s already a frickin music video. I suppose that’s what you get for sounding more MAINSTREAM. Jerkoffs. While you’re going all mainstream why don’t you sing into the leader singer of U2’s eyes and confess how much more money you’re making and disappointing fans.
Also… if you noticed near the end of the video, the singer goes from short hair to hair down to his shoulders… WHAT THE %#@!
I guess Rogan™ does work. Must be the “overnight formula”.
As Always, Here is A Fix.

Of Course! You can always check out the Industrial Addiction Store. (The Link is in the Blogroll Category under the listings of the other music sites.)
It will have samples of their other songs as well as music that is similar in style that you may enjoy.
Also, you can check out youtube and find a couple of their songs on it for your viewing pleasure. I hope this helps.
If you have anymore questions or comments, always remember you can reach me here.
Take care and Thank You for the comment!

Apoptygma is one of the bands I hold high.
They do have an insane sound, and I really like it. It is no suprise to me, that sadly, some people have no clue this bad exists, along with many other bands…
I am just glad to be a consumer, and buyer, of all things industiral, and I love supporting this music.
