Gday everyone, hope all is well.
Well it's been a while since my last post, so here's a brief rundown on what's been happening at Berzerker headquarters.
We've all been busy getting ready for the mighty US / CANADA Obituary Tour and I hope all you crazy fukers over there are ready to go fuking mental with us when we hit the stage!! We really can't fukin wait and it's only 1 week til we leave! It's going to be awesome to catch up with our diehard American fans. You guys have been really loyal to us and we can't wait to return the favour with some 320bpm death grind.
We just played 2 shows in our home towns, Brisbane and Gold Coast, as a bit of warm up and the setlist was so fuking relentless. Don't expect any breaks from the chaos when we hit the States, we're cramming in as much blast as possible into our short sets so get ready to smash each other for 30-45mins without one single breath!!
We're also going to have new merch with us so get it while you can and we might even be able to come back sometime!!! Luke and I have been working some stuff up and it'll look something like this.... The back of the 'shotgun' t-shirt was done by our legendary French artist Adrien. Check out more of his work at www.myspace.com/aslumber and www.myspace.com/theprocessus
If anyone ever wants to submit artwork that you think would make for a good Berzerker design, send it through and it may just become our next shirt or hoodie etc..
In other news:
Luke has been staying in my hometown causing trouble and generally just running a muck aha, hanging out with MMA fighters, penthouse pets, getting dragged along to all the local parties, recording riffs and refining his photography skills.
His photos are fukin awesome, and I managed to get dragged along to a few shoots as special assistant aha.
Here's a few samples....
Here's Tim getting choked by our mate and MMA fighter Jim York ahah, 2 of the biggest bastards I know wrestling. Classic.
Check out some of Jim's fights on youtube. You don't fuk with this guy.
I also managed to squeeze in some wall art for my mate's new BMX store.

The new album is coming along really well and is going to be another step forward for the band and is looking like it's going to be the most brutal album yet. We're starting to look at our options for recording, mixing and mastering the album so stay tuned for more info.
I'm going back to getting ready for tour.
Look forward to seeing you all in the pit soon! Don't be a fukin pussy!
Let the insanity begin....
