APOPTYGMA BERZERK seen from a fly on the wall

“The `Rocket Science Tour 2009´ had it all, and what I found is right here in these pages.”

Espen Ixtlan, photographer

With over 500.000 albums sold worldwide and reaching the Top Ten in Germany, Apoptygma Berzerk has conquered the world with their electronic and melodic industrial rock. In February of 2009, the `Rocket Science Tour´ kicked off in Germany and went on for many months spanning nine countries in Europe and followed by various summer festivals. In September, Apoptygma Berzerk toured coast to coast in America also playing shows in Canada and Mexico. The band then returned home to Europe to finish off the `Rocket Science Tour´ with even more dates throughout Europe.

Now it´s here; the photo-documentary about touring with Apoptygma Berzerk.
“To describe the feeling and atmosphere on this tour would be almost impossible. I do hope that the photos will tell a story. It's no secret that the `Rocket Science´ album and tour came at a difficult time for the band. (…) Like a fly on the wall, I was present during these weeks of touring, hardship, tears, parties, laughter, love and moments of uncontrolled folly. I was there to see if I could locate the spirit of a true, great rock`n roll band and what I have found is right here in these pages.. This is the way, step inside!”
