[B][SIZE=7] The Berzerker[/SIZE][/B]


[B]Short Bio[/B]

Originally a solo DJ band entitled The Berzerker, Luke Kenny inspired to mix his speedcore beats with a death metal rhythm. Backed by Earache Records, he set out to Canada to seek help from SYL's Devin Townsend. But the results did not go in Kenny's favour. He returned home to Melbourne, with barely any bond money left. So he set up a studio in his then place of residence and proceeded to record. He recruited 3 men along the way, one of which is Sam (The Bassist) to record guitars & bass. The recording process was brutal, at times spending 10 hours perfecting a single riff. Due to the brutality and lack of experience from recording the first album, when time came for the 2nd, Luke had gained more knowledge and shortcuts to produce.

[SIZE=5][U]It's probably still not 100%, but the samples are up now.[/U][/SIZE]

I have heard some songs and found the Bezerker very interesting. I might buy one of their cds next time Im in Utopia. Or the DVD, i heard its meant to be really good.

Nice post Experi_metal, I've been trying to look into the Berserker for a while now. I'm looking foward to hearing some of these uploads. :)

Anyone else got anything by The Berserker they could upload? I'd appreciate it a lot. Also, are these they same guys who have the crazy 19beats/second drummer or something? That'd be mad to see/hear.

[size=1]bump :shifty:[/size]

sorry it took so long to get the uploads up, i been in and out of the house all day

I might find time this weekend to do some posts for this thread :). I just need to find enough information.

[QUOTE=experi_metal]sorry it took so long to get the uploads up, i been in and out of the house all day[/QUOTE]

No prob, thanks for supporting this thread. Will posts thoughts on Berserker soon.

EDIT: The Berserker don't seem bad at all. A lot of high tempo stuff, with that DJ influence still quite prominent. I prefer the Death stuff at the moment to, and after the first listen it sounds as though they will be a band that grows on me. :thumb:

EDIT #2: I just found some more Cog stuff, that isn't available for purchase. The first is a live track from early 2002, the second is a 14 minute version of their single, 'Open Up', and the third is 'Bondi', which came from the Pseudo Demo CD (recorded on an 8 track) which was limited to 200 copies. Here you go if you want it.

Yea, The New normal is a pretty amazing album, really enjoyed the whole, except for maybe Naming The Elephant, but otherwise really solid album, plus they go off live :thumb:

Suprised no one has mentioned The Butterfly Effect yet....

Snap to Zero

Band Members

Guitar / Vocals: Sam Morrison
Bass: Sebastian Bohm
Drums: Sam Carpenter

Heavy, groove-orientated, alternative rock music. The music revolves around spaced-out and delayed guitars, twisted chunk riffs and fat creamy bass over tight, solid drums. Hip hop tinged vocals incorporate melodies and screaming with socially, politically and spiritually aware lyrics.

Snap To Zero began in 1997 by Sam Morrison. However, the current lineup has been recording, touring and rocking hard for around a year.

s2z make cutting-edge, original music with wide appeal that makes people want to stand up, move and listen.

realeases : Sound Operation (EP) - 1999
Beats is a Drug (CD single) - 2001
Snap to Zero (EP) - 2002
Where's Your Head At? (CD Single) - 2004
Where Is The Free World? (LP) - 2005

good tracks - Judgementality

[/QUOTE]

Upon the first listen I didn't particularly like Naming The Elephant either. It's one of those songs that needs time to grow on you. It's like the 'Reflection' of The New Normal.

/another Tool comparison

[QUOTE=SoLs]Suprised no one has mentioned The Butterfly Effect yet....[/QUOTE]

Don't worry, they will be ;)

I dont like any Australian bands, and i'm Australian, and live in Sydney.

[size=7]The Dirty Three[/size]

The Dirty Three began in Melbourne, Australia in 1992. Led by a violin and playing post-rock music, they are a truly unique band. A truly inspiring band, the lineup consists of Warren Ellis (violin), Mick Turner (guitar and bass) and Jim White (drums/percussion). All three of the band members have been in such amazing projects as "Let Love In" by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds.

[b]Releases[/b]

Sad And Dangerous (1994)
Dirty Three (1995)
Horse Stories (1996)
Ocean Songs (1998)
Whatever You Love, You Are (2000)

I'll put a song or two up tomorrow.

[u][size=3][b]Colditz Glider[/b][/size][/u]

[i]The instrumental four-piece that is Colditz Glider comes out of Melbourne, and information on them is hard to come by on the internet. They have no official website, but I have managed to dig up an interview for you guys to give you a bit of information on them.

Colditz Glider's music can only be adequately described through excessive use of pretentious metaphors, so I'm not going to try it. Instead I will settle for the inadequate description that they sound something like Mogwai on crack cocaine.[/i]

[b]Who are they?[/b]

Lynden Brown - Guitar
Caley Groves - Guitar
Ben Hallpike - Bass
Ollie Williams - Drums

I cannot stress enough just how good these guys are at their instruments, if you think I'm wrong, see them live, then shut your f[size=2]ucking[/size] mouth. Colditz Glider's live show is something else, wow.

[b]Discography[/b]

So far, Colditz have a pretty limited discography and are very early into their musical career - which I hope will be long and mind-f[size=2]uckingly[/size] impressive.

The story so far:

2004 - [b][u]Colditz Glider EP[/u][/b] 3" CD.
2004 - [b][u]Properties Of Light[/b][/u] CD

A full length album is hopefully forthcoming this year or in 2006.

Very well.

The Butterfly Effect:

Vocals: Clint Boge
Guitar: Kurt Goedhart
Bass: Glenn Esmond
Drums: Ben Hall

2001 TBE independantly released their 6 track self titled ep. By 2002 the Ep sales had reached an excess of 10000 copies and after a long while touring the band signed with modern music to record a full length album. November 2002 they began recording this masterpiece. The title: Begins Here. A name chosen by the band to describe the way they felt about Their evolution. The album debuted in Australia on August 4 2003 at number 24 on the indi charts. They followed this release with a massive 115 shows around Australia. A tour that would last 5 months.

Towards the end of 2004, TBE set out on a tour of Europe with the British band "Breed 77". After a very succesful tour they are now back in Australia for the process of writing the new album.

That would be Distance And Regret. Yeah, I sort of knew Lance (singer) and Paul (ex Bassist) from primary school, but they were in different grades to me. The other 2 went to my high school.

Do/did you about the band Ochre?

Ha, don't worry bout it man, I was only joking. You did a good job, and at thanks for having some input regarding this thread.

SoLs, yes, Dungeon are Australian. I shall do them some time this week, as I believe they've just released a new album.

Grr don't know what's going on with Dungeon, they're so good :x
I thought they had broken up, and then they were at Metal For The Brain.. :x

Last I heard I think they had just released a follow up to A Rise To Power, Tim was selling gear to fund an overseas tour and they were looking pretty good. I guess I'll look further into it.
