THE BERZERKER Inks Distribution Deal With RIOT! ENTERTAINMENT

March 11, 2009

Australia's THE BERZERKER has inked an exlusive distribution deal with Riot! Entertainment to release "The Reawakening", previously only available via the band's web site.

THE BERZERKER's fifth album, was originally released last year through the group's self-run record label, Berzerker Industries.

"The Reawakening" track listing:

01. Spare Parts
02. Internal Examination
03. Caught In The Crossfire
04. Harvesting A Loved One
05. The Deception
06. Your Final Seconds
07. The Evolution Of Aggression
08. Unforgotten Force
09. Disassembly Line
10. Wisdom And Corruption

THE BERZERKER recently tapped Tim Aldridge (ex-ABRAMELIN) as its new guitarist. A photo of the group's new lineup can be viewed below.

THE BERZERKER previously released four full-length albums — "The Berzerker" (2000),"Dissimulate" (2002),"World of Lies" (2005) and "Animosity" (2007) — through Earache Records. 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 concept. 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 monster 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.
