I have been waiting for this release for QUITE some time now.  The Berzerker’s my most favorite band in the world.  I haven’t picked up their latest album yet, but it’s definitely high on the list of albums to buy.  I have zero problems paying for a record from a band I like.  And since The Berzerker are no longer on a record label, this album was completely produced by them.  So, if you’re a Berzerker fan, definitely pick up this album.  All proceeds go straight to them.  Many thanks to DEF for this.

Quality: Very decent rip from group DEF.  I’m listening to this album as I write this post.  Sounds great.

Description: The Berzerker is an extreme metal band from Melbourne, Australia. The band’s music, heavily influenced by older death metal and grindcore, can be characterized as a fusion of death metal, industrial, and speedcore with a touch of gabba techno. The band’s founding member Luke Kenny describes the band’s style as industrial death metal.

The Berzerker has so far released four full length albums, The Berzerker (2000), Dissimulate (2002), World of Lies (2005) and Animosity (2007), all through Earache Records. Also, they recently released the album The Reawakening through Berzerker Industries.  During the early part of their career as a live act, band members were identified only as The Vocalist, The Guitarist, The Bassist and The Drummer, distinguishable on stage only by the intricate monster masks they wore. However, the group has since abandoned this device.
