Grind connoisseurs the world over are anxiously awaiting the mastery of THE BERZERKER’S forthcoming Earache release, “Animosity.

Due to The Berzerker artist Ivan Kenny-Sumiga currently re locating he will be unable to complete the album artwork by the deadline.  This opens up a very unique opportunity for 1 individual. Instead of Luke going to the nearest design company he is giving the fans the chance to show what that can do and perhaps make a name for them selves WORLDWIDE.  The art can be any style 2d or 3d. It just has to capture the brutality and class of the music...

The winning artist will have to chance to deal direct with the Luke and to design the album cover, inlay and art layout. The album has a world wide release and distribution with all the major magazines writing and reviewing the upcoming album.

The Album is currently UNTITLED but very similar soul crushing music. The artwork concept is still to stick with a new incarnation of the IRON DRAGON. But all designs will be looked at. The Deadline for final art work is October the 29th 2006. Cover size is 12x12cm 350 dpi.

The Berzerker are currently working on their 4th studio album for Earache. The as-yet-untitled album will deliver even more brutality from the mad Aussies. With 10 tracks currently in demo form the band is waiting with baited breath to take this material into the studio and record yet another earth shattering album of Industrial Grindcore.  Working on the new album this time as always is mainman and vocalist Luke Kenny with Jason V (Self titled, World of Lies). Together the two have been working for the past few weeks to out do all their previous releases and are well on track to destroy some more brain cells with their sonic attack.

"The new material is in fucking insane" says Kenny. " I sometimes wonder when we start writing if we really can out-do our other releases, I mean we have already made some of the fastest most brutal music on the planet and when people hear the name The Berzerker, they fucking know it!.  "Even to this day, every time we've finished a writing session I listen back. And i'm stopped in my tracks by the sheer ferocity for the music... No one else assaults the listeners with such a barrage of force as we do... This time is war!"

Kenny continues:"I'm bringing back some old school vocal styles and fucking loving it. It's a crazy time for me at the moment working on all the new material and planning another 2 weeks of touring in the UK"

"We had to come back.. The last UK tour was so well attended and was so fucking violent. We gave the crowd all the energy we had (and them some) and they took it and fucking threw it back at us... As well as breaking their
bodies in the process... I know they want more... And so do we... Get ready..  Make your doctors appointments early.. Cause we coming back in December to make you bleed once more... We don't so much play music as pump out hateful Waves of blasting energy from the stage... If your brave enough we'll see you there... RROOAAGGGHHHH!!!"

Earache expects to release the new album before the end of the year or early new year- meantime, fans can check out THE BERZERKER myspace page for updates and tour details.  www.myspace.com/theberzerker
