The Berzerker was an extreme metal band from Melbourne, Australia and was formed in 1995. The band’s music, heavily influenced by older death metal and grindcore, can be characterized as a fusion of these with 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 and Riot!.
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.
