Spain's BERRI TXARRAK To Perform In London This Weekend

April 20, 2012

A Top 10 success story in Spain, Basque band BERRI TXARRAK will headline the Graviton showcase at Garage in London on Sunday, April 22, following a support slot with CANCER BATS at the Barfly on Saturday, April 21.

BERRI TXARRAK's new album, "Haria" ("The Thread"),helmed by acclaimed producer Ross Robinson (KORN, SLIPKNOT, MACHINE HEAD),has just been released in the U.K.

"'Haria' is not a conceptual album," states vocalist Gorka. "The main idea behind it is the power of falling down, getting up again and going forward.

"After the original drummer left, BERRI TXARRAK almost became a corpse. He decided to leave in the middle of the tour after our previous album, 'Payola', came out. It was kind of dramatic. We had three months of tour left and he played those shows with us, but while we knew he would quit, people out there did not, so it was really hard for us. I was not sure whether I wanted to keep going with the band but we did and luckily so."

Active for 17 years and highly successful in their native Spain, BERRI TXARRAK's Basque lyrical content has not hindered them from being a hit on the international market supporting acts such as RISE AGAINST in the U.S.

"The language of music and the power of the songs conquered our listeners," continues Gorka. "Look at a band like RAMMSTEIN, as well. No matter where you come from or what language you are using, music will win everyone over in the end."

"For many artists, rock music is a way of having fun," concludes Gorka. "And we really have fun playing or writing songs but we believe that there is more to music than that. It's also a way of questioning things. We may not have the power to change the world but we may change small worlds. Music certainly changed my world and I believe ours can do that for others."
