Melbourne, Australia (1995 – present)
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 these with industrial metal, speedcore, and gabba. The band’s founding member Luke Kenny describes the band’s style as industrial death metal.
The Berzerker has produced five full length albums, The Berzerker (2000), Dissimulate (2002), World of Lies (2005), Animosity (2007) and The Reawakening (2008). These were released through Earache Records, with the exception of the latest album, which was released through Berserker 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 masks they wore. However, the group has since abandoned this device.
A DVD documentary, The Principles and Practices of The Berzerker (2004), includes several hours of live concert footage, as well as the first public images of the band members without their masks.
Most of the band’s music videos have been banned from broadcast for reasons such as the possible epileptic fit-inducing imagery contained in the video “Forever”, and the horrific imagery of “Reality”. The latter features graphic images of cadavers and body parts, along with appearances from the band themselves.
Years active: 1995–present

those album effects were amazing, i dont think anyone will agree with me here but i would love to hear a crushingly slow song by the berzerker, i think the berzerker could manage to make a really good slow song(it would be interesting anyways)

i wish they created more atmosphere stuff, more filthy i love the rewakening but it sounded way too light and happy for what i expected, they should use their electronic part to their music to make it sound darker and heavier

I think they don't even like black metal, or that's the rumour i've heard. And Ignorance (or the demo version ''black metal'') is almost a parody of black metal..

We're discussing Anaal Nathrakh's genre, not The Berzerker's. It's obvious TB is industrial death metal.

blackened death metal with grind influences ? industrial metal with metalcore influences ? doom metal with grind influences ?

TheFecundComing wrote:
"Black metal with grind influences" is much more distinct than simply "blackgrind." For starters, "blackgrind" isn't a genre. Secondly, there's no such thing as "blackened grindcore/goregrind."

Mutantlizard wrote:
I never said they're un-comparable, I'm just saying that the debuts of these 2 bands sound different. And no need to point out they're still blackgrind, I think it's pretty obvious.

Stylistically, they're obviously different. No need to point that out. I'm saying the influences each band incorporated in their debut albums make them quite comparable. Also, AN is still black metal with grind influences.
