This band are coming to sunny Leeds in March, and I really want to go see them. My only real experience of them so far has been their (awesome) video on the 2nd Earache DVD. There are unconfirmed rumours that they have the worlds fastest drummer. I like speed

Who has opinions to share about this band? Can you recommend to me which album I should get?

I've only heard World Of Lies, but it's excellent. It wouldn't surprise me at all if their drummer is the fastest in the world. If you liked the song you heard, I'd suggest getting the album. All the songs are about the same level of quality.

Very good band. I have "dissimulate", their second album.

I'd say go for the new one, "World Of Lies". They've really taken the industrial concept and made something out of it, older albums are more grindcore-y, WOL is more industrial. There's an e-card of the new one at Earache's website, and clips of older albums at www.theberzerker.com

Yep, damn good drummer. I took it you saw the interview in Terrorizer?

Yes, they lost the comedy monster masks though :(

Thanks guys I may well go for the new one... Hopefully HMV will have it for less than £17 :roll:

Word on the street is that akercocke's drummer will be playing live with them, now that is gonna be a brutal gig!excellent!and the new album uses a drum machine, the drummer in "dissimulate" has never competed in drumming competition but just listen to "dissimulate"!That is fast!

Just get Dissimulate, if Flo would play that it would last twice as long.

I never understood why people love Corporal Jigsore Quandary so much. There are much better tracks on that cd.
