Apparat returns with “A Violent Sky”, the first track to be lifted from his forthcoming concept album, Krieg und Frieden (Music For Theatre) which has been written as a score for Sebastian Hartmann’s stage production of Tolstoy’s War and Peace.

The Krieg und Frieden album is out on Mute next month but you can grab a free download of “A Violent Sky” below …
