"Bittersweet" is the first single off Apocalyptica's forthcoming album, due early February 2005. The song is a dark ballad that features fellow-countrymen Lauri Ylönen from The Rasmus and Ville Valo from H.I.M. on vocals. The single — written jointly by Apocalyptica, Lauri and Ville — will be released internationally on November 29.
Apocalyptica members Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, and Perttu Kivilaakso appeared alongside Lauri and Ville in the video for "Bittersweet", shot in the band's hometown Helsinki and directed by renowned finish director Antti Jokinen (Nightwish, Celine Dion, Shania Twain).
