Today’s video of the day is Apoptygma Berzerk – "The Damned Don’t Cry" (Other Voices Remix) released in 2006.
Apoptygma Berzerk brings fresh energy to a classic with “The Damned Don’t Cry (Other Voices Remix).” The Norwegian electronic band first formed in 1989, led by Stephan Groth. Over the years, Apoptygma Berzerk developed a distinctive sound that blended EBM, synth-pop, industrial, and futurepop. As a result, the band became an important influence on the futurepop scene. Their breakthrough albums helped establish their melodic electronic style. Moreover, releases such as 7, Welcome to Earth, and Harmonizer showed how their sound continued to evolve. Therefore, their music connects electronic club rhythms with strong melodies and darker themes.
Apoptygma Berzerk originally recorded “The Damned Don’t Cry” for their 2006 cover album Sonic Diary. The song originally came from Visage, who released the synth-pop classic in 1982. However, Apoptygma Berzerk gave the song a distinctly modern electronic treatment. Their version fits naturally within Sonic Diary, which explores several influential songs through the band’s own style. At the same time, it stands apart from their original material. Instead, the track shows how Apoptygma Berzerk could reinterpret familiar songs without losing their identity. Consequently, “The Damned Don’t Cry” remains an interesting link between early synth-pop and futurepop.
Now, Other Voices revisits Apoptygma Berzerk’s interpretation with a new remix. The “Other Voices Remix” keeps the spirit of the band’s version while adding a different electronic perspective. Furthermore, the remix creates a darker and more atmospheric presentation. The accompanying video strengthens that mood with cyberpunk-inspired footage by Mikhail Nilov. The footage comes from Pexels and adds a futuristic visual layer to the remix. For longtime Apoptygma Berzerk fans, this version offers another way to experience a memorable cover. Ultimately, “The Damned Don’t Cry (Other Voices Remix)” connects Visage, Apoptygma Berzerk, and modern electronic music in one striking reinterpretation.
