I don't know what to say, I think I like it???.......2006-11-09

I'm not sure where to begin with this one. Once again I happened upon this album while I was looking through some used cds and the album cover and the name of the band just jumped out at me. The band's name is The Berzerker and the album is entitled "Dissimulate". The look of the band on the back of the cd look pretty intense as well as the song titles, being a used cd and at a cheap price I just picked it up. When I put it into my cd player I was somewhat shocked in what I heard. I expected a heavy band, the album being on Earache records made me think that The Berzerker would probably even be a death metal band. Well I was half right. What I got was had Death/techno/industrial metal band.??

Let me just say that industrial death metal just does not work for me at all. However the Berzerker proved me wrong. "Dissimulate" is a fast, intense, heavy, and brutal album everything an extreme metal record should be. I must say that the drum machine turned me off at first. I usually hate drum machines. This is why I have held off on trying a Mortician record. But Berzerker makes it work, well for the most part. I still think I might enjoy the band more if the lost the drum machine and just had a regular drum kit. But then they might loose some of what makes them who they are. To let you know the drum machine sounds like someone is firing an M-60 machine gun in the background along side the beat of the band. So I guess in the respect it kind of works. For some reason I like this cd. There are some catchy grooves in it and the death metal vocals are pretty brutal. I guess the best way to describe this record is it's kind of like a way over hyperactive child who hasn't taken his medication in while and who is also throwing a major temper tantrum. All in all it's a pretty intense record and I can't say I've heard anything like the Berzerker before. However, a warning this album is not for everybody

Industrial Grindcore.......2006-10-11

This band is so intense that they'll basically make your head explode after listening to this. The blastbeats are inhuman, as they're used by a drum machine like Mortician and F**k...I'm Dead, but don't let that be an excuse from enjoying this album. Guitar leads are excellent, which is not usually perfected in grindcore. True, this may not be the most genius music, but it's good nonetheless!

Amazing.......2005-12-27

The first time I heard this music I was amazed. Although they use drum machines I think its great because its amazingly fast and it brings the whole thing together. As for the music, well...I think theres something to it because it messes with your mind. The lyrics for this cd are upside down, sideways, and the words are sometimes jumbled up too, but its okay because for some strange reason if you read them while listening to the music you can read them (well I did). Wierd isn't it. Well I would highly reccomend this to any fan of metal.

GOOD........2005-12-07

I'm not going to say much for the time being. I do want to address a previous reviewer who said that he saw The Berzerker open up for Nile, SYL, etc. and they were terrible. Well, I was at that same show and I thought the Berzerker were a complete joke...terrible music, nothing more than noise, etc.

I was so wrong. I have this album now and I absolutely love it. This is really unique grind. Any fan of extreme music who wants to hear the most creative stuff available simply must check this out. Don't be discouraged if you didn't like them live, give The Berzerker a chance. You won't be disappointed.

First taste of brutality.......2005-11-25

OK, I only have listened the "normal" songs, not the last instrumental tracks. This is what I'll going to say about this release: it's the first CD of the Death/Brutal Industrial metal band from Melbourne, and I'm not going to say it's my favorite album of them. I think they're the most brutal and fastest band in the world of today. The first song I heard of them was the "Elephant Man song", and it's titled "Deform". Man, when I heard it, I experienced the most extreme music my dark ears have ever listened to (but when I heard Dissimulate, this seemed to me weak after hear the track "No One Wins").
OK, this release will be the perfect way to get into The Berzerker's world. I suggest you hear first an mp3, cos maybe it could be so agressive for you. Anyway, it worths the money, and the only explanation for I rated it with 4 stars, it's cos I haven't heard the last three tracks yet.
I think if you're interested in this release you shoul buy it here with Dissimulate, their best til this date.
