Post Your Coments On The Dvd Here!

[theberzerker]

Hey all
Some of you should be able to buy the DVD now!!! Let me know your thoughts.

Luke
The Berzerker

[Barton]

Maybe another two weeks for the Aussies... ANGRY to say the least.

[Choronzon]

Erm, I have a question about this DVD:

Who does distribution in Europe for this item?

I work in a cd store, that's why I want to know.

Something like Surburban, Zomba or Bertus?

[hellboy]

once again shock has fucked us over, dont worry it will be worth the wait

[cradleoftigger]

great dvd. it really showed what it took to get the music out to us. i am actually taken aback by the amount of content on this dvd. ive bought other dvds of my favorite bands with nowhere near the amount of content. props to you.

btw i am a new poster here. i found a promo copy of dissimulate from an idiot "friend" in 2002 and immediately fell in love with the album. i then tried hunting down the 2 disc re-release of the self titled album which proved to be rather difficult. but after about 3 months i found a place in OZ that would ship it here. the wait and searching was well worth it. now i want to buy another copy of dissimulate so i can have the cd insert instead of the promo cardboard sleeve that my idiot "friend" had "thrown-out" to me.

btw some questions if i can ask them here. new album? new tours? i really want to see you guys in the US. also when will you be needing a second guitar player?? i think i am ready!!!!! :rolleyes:

[copper]

I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE THIS FUCKING SHIT..................ive rang all the music shops within 50 miles .......hmv reckon its been out a month......virgin think 2 weeks, i checked all the websites , i even have it pre-ordered on earache but i need it NOW............i could accept the lateness of the 12april instead of march , but then they fucking move it back even more what is this SHIT , the stores i contacted said eeeeermmmmm mmmmmmm bla bla , how do you spell berzerker , of yeh the plopipop and ploo ploo on imboligubreigigugiurbg , they said errrr yeh i think we had a one copy in 2 weeks ago , fuckin gays , nowhere has it , so ive just got to WAIT and you could say stop being a child but i do believe ive already been waiting , and that four days that earache moved from 12th april to 16th (uk) release has pissed me off , cause i really wanted to enjoy the berzerker during easter , but when i get the fucking dvd ill be back at college......i feel real bad for the american fans

[Choronzon]

[cradleoftigger]

care to share on where you got it from?

it's been so long ago that i got it i can't honestly remember.

BUT .... and heres the good news i know of a place that should be able to get it for you. they always seem to come through for me when i need hard to find things. and they list the 2 disc self titled on their site now, so they must be able to get it from somewhere! I that i previously hadn't seen it listed on their site before so here ya go .....

[BERZERKERFAN]

T H E B E R Z R K E R # 1 ! !:)

[copper]

hey guys , ive recieved an email from earache webstore apologizing and it says official release for uk is 19th april but as the dvd is ntsc / region 0 you americans can order from the uk/euro store too!!!!!!!!!

they basically said

"The release date has moved a lot because of unforeseen troubles. There has been a few technical setbacks but all is now sorted for the 19th" - therefore i should recieve my copy on the monday because pre-orders are sent out earlier.

i also re-rang a few shops such as mvc/virgin/hmv and smaller music stores , all saying its special order , so it looks like there hasnt been mass demand for the berzerker dvd.

http://server5.uploadit.org/files/brokenoath-imageforforum.JPG (http://www.theberzerker.moonfruit.com)

[Diluted]

the official UK release date now seems to be the 19th so I havent got mine yet, but its available for only £12.99 at www.play.com

hooray! cant wait to see it.
I might give uni a miss so that I can watch this instead :D

[muzzy]

I'm gonna get it as soon as i get some extra cash. hails. \m/

[berzerker bass]

Got my copy last night.
Looks even better than the version I saw a week or two before the deadline for making it was up. Damn, but there's a lot of footage of me falling asleep....!
You are all going to love it.

[Sinnamon]

Saw it last night too. The live footage is exceptional and I'm sure will disappoint nobody. The making of the albums were informative and entertaining (Val cracked me up) and the bass player is so hot, i want to make sex with him.
Well worth the wait if you ask me :D

[curse of reverence]

hmm hitting a rock while skating at riverside casue the destruction of my diskman, so i think i will buy another one of them before the dvd, but i WILL own this dvd, 4 hours of content, man thats cool.

[copper]

TODAY TODAY TODAY it finally came , about 5 minutes ago , IM SO EXCITED , im just about to watch it , so ill post in a bit how it is , i really dont wanna rub it in anyones faces for the ones who dont have the dvd yet , but i REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted this

http://server6.uploadit.org/files/roodyshark-Picture.jpg (http://www.theberzerker.moonfruit.com)

[Lizard King]

19th? bah, that's the day i go back to college >_< 2 days to go. wonder if it's available there.....

[copper]

OH MY GOD , i finished watching the dvd not to long ago and dear lord its everything you guys could expect

- It starts off with a earache intro which like the earache dvd uses a loop of spheres of madness by decapitated which is an amazing song but i tell you certain sections looped and you want to kill yourself

- Then the menu , and for me i just went from top to bottom , watching everything , therefore i started on the live show , taken from there nottingham uk gig
Opens with the immense forever but things really kick off with betrayal then the mayhem commenses , everything you expect speed , accuracy , energy obviously i could talk about each individual part but YOU MUST SEE THIS FOR YOURSELF

Im picking out favourite parts

- For the live songs (not bootleg section) the audio from the nottingham gig is always used but for some songs they have taken video clips from there 100s of tours and on Disregard a clip from a different gig the bassist punches this guy in the face who was asking for it LITERALLY he was pointing to his nose , and the punch is done the second the song kicks in ,so it works together pretty well .

- When Incarnate Solvent Abuse comes in ,its a different gig all together , Its old aswell , as there is 5 members , and the masks arnt particularly developed , luke can be seen adjusting his mask whilst singing because the spikes are sticking into his face

-Then some touring clips with Labrat and in there is some funny playfights where the berzerker bassist is against the labrat singer , only thing is the bassist is blindfolded

-Back to the Nottingham gig "February" is performed to such a high standard with one of my particular "live" favourites being "Mono Grind" the attack of that song is brutal

I do realise i havent spoke off ALL the songs but im picking bits out, but trust me ALL of them are outstanding

-Onto bootlegs , cool to see mask swap arounds and more members + Tony from "Nile" drums on corporal jigsore quandary , he is also filmed practising it on a chair and it seems that the band have simply come to him and hes learnt it on the spot

- A real stand out part for me are the rehearsals for "Pain" and "Reality" , just the band practising , on reality the drummer is the cameras main focus , he also is filmed quite a bit in pain , and FUCKING HELL is all i have to say , me being a fellow drummer it is a particular favourite for me.

- Then the making of self titled , my main conclusion of this is EVERYTHING that could go wrong/negatively DID , Lukes trip to Canada was complete bullshit , nothing but crossed wires and lies , But there is guy called Val who helped luke so so much , it was disheartening to see so many things go wrong but also very inspirational to see such drive and passion , it reaffirmed for me what music is all about , seeing the passion has even inspired me to better myself
Val was there for Luke constantly trying to lift his spirits , but its hard when everything fucks up
Val does a lot of singing for Luke and this guy called Patrick plays a lot of the riffs but sadly luke used NONE of what these guys acheived on the final mix

-Back in Australia , a guy called Sam pops up (current bassist) and he offers up some riffs/ideas and tries to lay down some of Lukes ideas and manages it but is pushed to what seems like human limits (a must see for guitarists- a lot is focused on guitar )

-LUKE IS A SLAVE DRIVER because "DO IT AGAIN" can be heard many times , these guys are pushed pushed pushed then "Taped" haha .

-2 more guys accompany sam called ed and jason all being driven driven driven by Luke , there fueled by lukes passion and enthusiasm for the music and there eagerness is tested . To be fair to luke though his lack of patience is due to the complete letdown of what he thought were musicians helping musicians and not money grabbers

So much went wrong , nearly everything........................................ ........Luke has been extremely unlucky but there has been glimmers of hope as he did find accomplished musicians , so there is 2 sides to the story , its just frustration then more added frustration then you include frustration/lies/letdown you sort of get an idea GO BUY THE DVD

- Then onto making of dissimulate , this time it is smoother and more organised , lukes lack of experience with computers /mixing was what caused such frustration so this time he wasnt going to be the sound engineer , but mid-way the sound engineer has to leave due to family issues (Watching the dvd its like - is the berzerker cursed) , therefore luke is left to mix the album which he successfully does

- There is a crazy part where the you see the drummer drumming the final takes on dissimulate then they take out the trigger sounds , its unreal , very strange

-Both albums were produced at lukes home studio

-Then some interesting interviews , with band , designer , bit on making masks and a part of the ultimate fan who has THE MOST berzerker stuff ive ever seen

What ive posted is still vague compared to the detail this dvd goes into

It really is an inspiration for all musicians

[copper]

The masks i now believe are vital to the performance of berzerker , human image just gets in the way of things , the bassist/ex guitarist sam makes me laugh cause he looks like an accountant , but he has one of the worst inner demons , this guy goes crazy and has a voice to go with it

I listen to the albums , self titled especially in such a different way , this dvd gets very personal , and when you finish you feel like you know the band

[BERZERKERFAN]

Jeeze, all that you typed really makes me unhappy about me not having the dvd....

[generalsoulfly]

i got my dvd through the post five minutes before i had to leave for a 9 hour work shift this morning so it kept me going all day, i've nearly watched all the dvd now though and it is really really really amazing, the whole passion for the music is portrayed and the live shows to watch gives you quite a buzz and generally it gives you a whole better understanding for what the berzerker are all about and stand for. incredible.

[copper]

uk

[*-Bleeding Orifice-*]

I went to new town, cash in hand.... NO FUCKING DVD!!
*head explodes*

[d a m n ation!!!]

I want I want I want!!!
The time will come...:p

[copper]

Hey Luke would you post your comments about our comments please ?

[Barton]

i would think there to be some *easter eggs on the dvd.

"why should humans have everything handed to them on a platter?".
a quote from an interview with The Berzerker. so i think that there would be some stuff on the DVD that should be discovered by us fans.

[Surt]

depends if it's a platter of splatter! ;)

in anticipation of "fricking loving" the DVD when it arrives in the mail, i just wanna say thanks to The Berzerker for the effort he obviously put into the stuff on there... well that and for making such music that's plain fucking aural decimation http://hevydevyforums.com/phpbb/images/smiles/new12.gif

[Diluted]

Love the DVD, absolutely fucking brutal.

As for easter eggs I've not looked properly, but I noticed on the main menu, if you look at the binary strings on the right, you can click on the top line. This re-loads the menu with no music and you cant select any of the options, apart from clicking on the binary again to get back to the working menu.

odd.....

[Grouch]

its took me fuckin ages to find a copy but i finally found one on play.com coz i live in the uk no shops here tht i know of sell it

as a result i have to get all my berzerker stuff of the net

[hellboy]

earache uk webstore has it

[Grouch]

yeah i know that were ive got it from jus waiting for it now

[Bull'sMilk]

The DVD is awesome - what a band!

All the footage is great as are the extras

The attitude and standards of all in the band are a total inspiration.

Keep doing this - no compromise

[fleety08]

[dave salmon]

by the way my hand is on the main concert section, the manchester gig, with labrat, incision and red harvest and a guy i know through a guy i know is in the front row with a mohawk type thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha my claim to fame!!!!

[Sado God]

I got it yesterday (22nd) from a local record shop here in Finland! I've only seen the live vids and the documet of Dissimulate but oh golly, this rocks my socks off!

Oh, and the "learning corporate jigsore quandry" with Tony from Nile was funny!

Inspirate to perspirate!

[Grouch]

[Surt]

i'm still waiting for my copy after ordering it on Monday...

the one time that Earache's 200% reliable mail order delivery time fucks me over is the one time that I'm anticipating this more than anything...

[hellboy]

thanks for the little sample, im dying for this dvd so bad, i wonder where all the trolls that said the drumming wasnt real have gone? :P

[d a m n ation!!!]

Supposedly mine was ordered this evening. I hope!
My optimistic side is telling me it will be well worth the wait.
My pessimistic side tells me that something will go terribly wrong with my order.
I swear waiting for something in the mail sucks ass. It is like going into a store, giving them your money, then going home and waiting to get it. Of course excluding Sundays and holidays.
I'll count the days starting Monday.
:p

[MatsoniA]

well to be honest i never registered here but thought i would last night :D usually i just browse the forum n see what people say
but sinse watching that dvd the berzerker have to be one of my favourite bands at the moment

[dave salmon]

hey fish cake, yeah it was the roadhouse gig!!! how didi u know?
i was the tallish cunt with the short dude in an at the gates t-shirt

[CuntingLeper]

\m/ simple as

just wish there was some manchester roadhouse stuff on there.


and, um....the fan cam version of The Princibles.....is that supposed to be in the live menu?...cos there is another live version in bootlegs...which is like every other live version in the live menu?

[MatsoniA]

I wondered about that too i thought it should be in bootlegs and the bootleg version be under the live performance

[Surt]

finally got it in the mail this morning, and I've just watched pretty much all of it, other than about half of the live footage and the 90 minute docu on the self-titled...

what i want to know though, is who the hell is the John Travolta-come-hobo looking guy with the bandana(?) and shades, that you see in the interviews section?

and is the guy with the triple lip piercings, the guy Ryan that they got while they were in Tampa?

talk about a fucking thorough DVD though. Full marks to Luke!

um, one of the old guitarists?

and no, the triple piercings guy(sam/"toby") did some vocals on the first album, Ryan can be seen in the bonus sections


watch the first docu all the way through.

[dave salmon]

well theres was one thing that bugged me about the dvd, i really wanted the berzerkers videos, it takes th piss downloading them and i thought one of the origional ideas was too have them on it? apart from that fucking ace, i mean just look at some of the band dvd's there just not enough, im usually left with the feeling, we go on give us the rest of it wheres all the other stuff and what the fuck was this album/song/whatever about? but after this dvd i was just, wow man thats a fucking head-rush, shit i didn't know there was so much stuff i didnt know or there was too know about these guys!!!!

[CuntingLeper]

if you've got a DVD rom drive on yer comp, you can find the reality video


as copper found out....and he's right

[dave salmon]

i know yeah but its still pisses me off a bit!!!!!

[CuntingLeper]

some dvd's haev code that you can enter, mostly to get hidden credits(lotr, matirx etc.etc.)

so i suppose the berzerkers may have one too...you'd have to ask

[dave salmon]

nice one i will, didnt know that, let the tinkering begin!!!!!!

Not tested that yet, but you'll be sure that I will tomorrow. Ok, Im going to sleep, it's 11.20 pm here

[dave salmon]

hmm strange, oh yeah incase some of you dont know about this theres a site devoted to finding easter eggs in everything, what ring-tones mean in morse, secrets in microsoft excell, etc. funnily enough its called:
http://www.eeggs.com

enjoy!

[Lizard King]

Originally posted by dave salmon

Yes!

Though unfortunately, it's just a long winded way of reality video, though it may serve another purpose...

Anyway, someone mentioned earlier you can click on a portion of binary earlier. On this screen with the differant music, there are a number of hidden buttons. most of them take you back to the main screen. However, if you click the one slightly below and right of the first, you'll reload the same screen. The click another button hidden top right (near the dragon's 'ear'). Again, same screen. Finally, find a group of 3 buttons top-right ish (the left one is a bit higher). Click the rightmost of these, and finally the reality video plays ^_^

That's all i've found so far, it's needs to be tested more ;)

*edit* By the way, click any button out of sequence, and you'll be back to the main screen. note down which one it was and start again ;)

[Braintechnician]

holy crap that was really fast(the gift ).damn that got me watching then i told my mom to watch and shes like :eek:.then shes like damn thats fast

[CuntingLeper]

i do believe that's all there is....canney find a forever vid by exploring the dvd via comp.

[mitch]

After having a quick look at the DVD as good as it is it isn't as good as a live show, can I suggest a few local shows to follow up, how about the Tote in May/June?

[HumanWaste]

is it released in America yet?

[Skin Bed]

I live in New York and I got it yesterday, as I said in another thread, try the Earache US webstore....Vanessa had a few advance copies laying around. The DVD was amazing. I had respect for the brutality in the music, but man after all the shit they went through, and they didn't stop. 100 times more respect to you guys. Keep up the good work.

[d a m n ation!!!]

I can't say I finally got it, because it only took one week.
Only two days it took to ship from New York.
Thanks Earache!

I haven't watched all of it yet, but from what I have seen, it is excellent. I've only been able to skim through...
I might have to take notes just to describe it...

Totally worth it!
:p

[Coma]

Ok i finally got it today but i wanna nit pick at something

Ok, Massacre, probably one of the most brutal songs ever made was talked about for a bit which i loved because thats my favorite song....but, i was just a little disappointed to not see any type of video for the song, whether it be live performance or just a video for it... Oh well, still an excellent segment i must say.

Lukes computer fucking up constantly made me laugh so hard!
Re-installing windows like 2 or 3 times....lol, oh reminds me of the good old days....god damn windows 98....

Next....Bassist, You seem to have gone through hell and back lol....Luke must have put you through some really rough shit man. But it was worth it right? It was also entertaining to see you fall asleep so much.
Oh and just watching you try to get that part on Massacre where you said its just an impossible riff and an impossible speed, that was very enjoyable to watch someone play guitar at that speed.... heh, it gives me somthing to shoot for....

Guitar....You have a funky style and i like it....the riffs are really fast but also technical which you dont see that much in bands....I give you...."props?" hehe, Your a great guitarist....

Drummer.... ummm.....yea just wow man.... its just so insane to see how fast someone can go. I was sorta trippin on the way you do your blast beats..... It doesn't really look like you tense up when you do it, which is different because everyone usually turns striaght to the hi hat to do it and you just keep your body still but your hands and feet move so insanly freaking fast! Also, theres sorta of a break down in "No one Wins" about 1:01 into the song that i love so much.... Do more of that stuff man, its pretty awesome....

The Masks were a great segment for the dvd, it really makes the person watching it feel more personal with the band itself....

The Artist was amazing that did the cover of dissimulate.... He gets the respect he deserves.... 600,000 polygons is a shit load and yea....fuck....Good man!

I haven't watched the bootlegs yet because I got tired of lookin at the tv lol....

Well, this is my last paragraph for now, but i just wanna say this is the best footage of anything i've ever seen in my life! Very aggressive and it really makes me, a fan, feel closer to the band because i know some of the stuff that you guys had to go through which was horrible but rewarding in the end....

[dave salmon]

hey well i just recently thought, even though you had to re-instal windows 98 about 25 times your lucky you didn't have windows XP to work with or we would just be getting the 1st album or would never have got it and luke would have gone even more insane!

[Corporal Carnage]

I think XP is better, I have a lot less problems with xp than with '98

[CyanideCordial]

Just got the DVD... fucking excellent. Love everything.. live shows, interviews, bootlegs.. great narrative and info in the making ofs.. brilliant.

However, as already noticed, the reality clip is on a cookie somewhere on the DVD in the bootlegs area, but i cant figure out how to get to it. Anyway, ive decided to rip this little video for everyone, since its already a free download off the berzerker site and its not advertised on the DVD.

http://cyanidecordial.klonopinz.com/berzerker%23/The.Berzerker-Reality(DVDRIP).mpg

plus, its got alternative scenes than the one up on the site, and of course its hell of a lot better quality.

On another note, buy this DVD, for all the people in melbourne go down to metal mayhem near flinders station in the city, its where i picked it up.

Enjoy

However, as already noticed, the reality clip is on a cookie somewhere on the DVD in the bootlegs area, but i cant figure out how to get to it. Anyway, ive decided to rip this little video for everyone, since its already a free download off the berzerker site and its not advertised on the DVD.

http://cyanidecordial.klonopinz.com/berzerker%23/The.Berzerker-Reality(DVDRIP).mpg

plus, its got alternative scenes than the one up on the site, and of course its hell of a lot better quality.

Ok, bringing the subject back on topic :-)

I've probably not watched even half the DVD yet, but christ, "major dedication" is a phrase that definitely applies here. Fantastic DVD from what I've seen so far. It's great that you've had full editorial control over this. And it's so obvious that you've taken great pride in the creation of this DVD. I've been waiting for this for ages, and it's WWWAAAAYYYYY better than I imagined it would ever be.

Oh yeah, and I don't know if it was supposed to, but seeing the old masks made me laugh :D

[theberzerker]

Firstly thanks for bringing the thread back on topic, it really gets out of control sometimes.

But yes i was the ONLY one that had anything to do with the DVD, i still dont know if our drummers seen it yet, i did send him one, but still havent heard back.

I put so much time into this project and had full creative control! but it almost killed me. ive never working so hard ever 6 months straight 7 days a week, 10 hours a day!!!!

No one else edited a single frame of this DVD except for me.

i take pride in everything i do and i ask for peoples best in return, sometimes as you'll see it takes some pushing from me for them to get there

[Priest]

The DVD has got to be the greatest thing I have seen since I got the Carcass DVD a month ago. Leaves nothing to the imagination. Just how we all like it (if you don't, go away). There is nothing else i could think of asking except maybe about what Toby is doing with himself currently and where the masks got made.
Best thing happened. My history teacher allowed me to use the DVD for an assignment source so that I would pay more attention one lesson. I'm half way through and it's going heaps well.
Oh yeah. I'm fairly sure that it's "Tobys" vocals on Cannibal Rights, mono-grind and ignorance. am i right?

[Grouch]

To theberzerker i have the upmost respect for you i mean u work your ass off on your own to produce such a fuckin great dvd you deserve everybodies respect really

[Grommell]

I got the DVD yesterday from JB and it was in my DVD player the second I got home - Watched all 4 odd hours of it in one sitting... Truely phenomenal stuff Luke - I tip my hat to you. While it did sorta dispell my initial ideas on the band (The kind of ideas you get from the berzerkers Image...) - It opened my eyes to the real people behind the image and what they have to suffer and endure in order to acheive what they believe in. I must say your very focussed and driven Luke, and everything this DVD entails is evidence of that.
Thats not to say your image still doesnt have an impact on me - I watched the live section again after watching the whole DVD and it proved that the masked/fully clothed aspect of the Berzerker is more than a gimmick, but rather vital to the overall theme. As brutal as the music is, Seeing humans in T-shirts and jeans perform it live would be far too disenchanting.

The DVD also open my eyes to the unglamorous reality of being an Australian Metal band... Lukes conviction through it all tho is very inspiring.
About the DVD itself tho - Truely A grade stuff, best Band DVD ever. Cheers for going through all that insanity (and filming it :D) to bring us the most sinister brutal band ever Berzerker!

Toby did do some vox on Cannibal Rights, amongst other tracks. He didn't do any for monogrind or ignorance, however.

Gah redhat...

Anyway, back on topic.

I couldn't get that easter egg to work. I'll experiment more later, since the buttons aren't even selectable with my remote - maybe pressing a number sequence will work.

I did find the video for Reality by browsing the disc on my pc though.

[Ne[r]d]

Got it.

From the main menu, press

[Grommell]

Another great thing about the DVD is the multi camera angle live footage... The song (Can't remember which one) with the four boxes showing the same gig from different angles is madness... Berzerker Bass you go heaps fuckin nuts live man.

I've showed some of my friends the dvd who werent really into Berzerker before... It blew their arses away. And rightly so! We're all gunna go next time you blokes tour.

[CuntingLeper]

[lordmaul30]

BUT berzerker, do you give them credit and respect for their talents? oh, and when am i gonna get mine. june?

[dave salmon]

It's probably just me but, did any one else get what:

"BUT berzerker, do you give them credit and respect for their talents? oh, and when am i gonna get mine. june?"

meant?, what the hell man?, what do you mean by that?. does any one else get what's meant? if you do could some one tell me because that realy doesn't make sense. Not hav'in ago, it's just it made my head go, :eek: , then :( then waaaaaaaaa. hmmm confusing....

i think he was replying to this:-

[d a m n ation!!!]

I really love how excited Luke looks as he's listening to "Deform" in the mastering session, before the computer fucks up again.
One of the few times he is smiling in the making of.
It reminds me of how I felt not when I first heard the song, but when I realized down the road that it was the greatest song ever. :p

[Barton]

could go on for ages about how this DVD RULES, but i wont.

it is FANTASTIC!!! simple and to the point.

And a HUGE Thank you to Luke, for putting in so much effort, and also a Congratulations on releasing something so spectacular.

[AsOfToday]

The DVD fucking rules...

I never had any clue what a nightmare the first record was...but it was totally worth it in the end...good on you Luke...i'm sure you must have wondered at times if it was all worth it...

...and Sam...watching you cripple yourself trying to play massacre was way beyond inspiring...i went to my bands rehearsal the day after i got the DVD, and i can't remember the last time i played that hard...

[Nazartum]

Ok, the best parts



-Val's crazyness

-Luke's "It begins"

-"It's and impossible riff with impossible speed"

-Reality rehearsal (Gary was just... wow)

-Windows 98

-The Deform clip when you just got the snare drum working

-February and Cannibal Rights clips (CR is now my fav song by any band)

[theberzerker]

its true!!! NEVER!

[slipmaira]

heh, I don't either.

we shouldnt call ourselves australian

[Punkrockdrummer182]

THE DVD WAS SHIT, U SHOULD GET SOME TALENT LIKE BLINK 182 YOU HOMO MOTHERFUCKERS TRAVIS BARKER IS FASTER

[Barton]

Punkrockdrummer182....silly boy.

just a shit stirer. Let him be.

i dont drink any alcohol, do drugs in any way, i'm an atheist
and im Australian. Confused?

Apologies if i go against any sterotypes...HA

[Grouch]

FINALLY got the DVD last night and soon as i got home i stuck it in and watched it all and its fuckin amazing you guys have really out done yourself on this one the live performances are great and the interviews are class

when it came to the showing of the making of the masks what was wiv that shitty jester mask?


oh yeah im tryin to get some berzerker tabs wanderin if the band or anyone else can help me out

[dave salmon]

Hey grouch, you might have noticed it but im just pointing it out any way. The jesters mask is acctualy the berzerkers current mask if you look close enough. I might be getting this wrong but if you have a good look at both of the masks then you can see they are the same one just customised to hell. Its the same with the other masks, they look different to the final product. Admittedly the bass mask looks pretty much the same other than the colours but the drummers mask looks like a dam alien's head until the dreads are put on and its fully painted!!!!

I appologise if i missed what you said completeley:

"when it came to the showing of the making of the masks what was wiv that shitty jester mask?"

If thats the case i think luke did a dam good job with the mask's. His mask just looks evil, as if he's inside somone else trying to crawl out through the mouth of the guy he's in!!!

[slipmaira]

finally bought it today, $35. bought the new Killswitch Engage album (and for some reason got a RoadRunner Sampler, a wristband and 5 stickers) as well for $26.50

Don't have time to watch the dvd though, getting foxtel Digital installed today :D

[leviathan]

got mine a few dyas ago and have just managed to get through it all. man its fucking awesome.
luke, u went to hell and came back with one awesome fucking cd.
after watching the dvd, ill never be able to listen to "self-titled" the way as i did before.

but whats happened to all the other guys that helped record "self-titled"? do you know what jason and ed doing now?

[slipmaira]

wow. That was seriously fucking awesome. The amount of shit thrown at Luke even by inanimate objects like his computer, and him overcoming it all is..fuck i cant even find the words.

This is seriously a DVD that all music producers, engineers and maybe musicians themselves should watch, even if they arent into death metal (in my opinion). It made me realise the amount of effort and detail put into both albums, even the artwork on Dissimulate. I wonder if Luke had a hard time with making the DVD as well.

I applaud every one who has been a part of The Berzerker and I reckon they really should get an award or at least respect from musicians outside metal.

Thank you for making such great music and a fucking awesome DVD.

[*-Bleeding Orifice-*]

YEAASSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE IT!!!

I am so happy, i FINALLY found that DVD!
When i saw it i almost had a fucking heart attack!
One thing i was confused about though...

Wasnt this supposed to be a double DVD??


....I have only seen a bit of the live show (As soon as we got to my guitar players place i made him put it on) and when i got home....My fucking DVD player is broken.... :(

[Braintechnician]

mine is going to be sent monday hell yes.

[Thorshammer]

I didn't even know that the DVD was out until friday, so the first thing I did was go and get it (£16.99 HMV), worth every penny and then some.

The first thing I thought when I saw Luke without the mask is Mick Foley with a mohican, I don't mean that as an insult neither.

[Braintechnician]

I watched all of the making of 'self-titled' and damn, luke went through hell to get us that...

Thanks again :)

[lil_andy]

After reading what you guys said about the DVD, I went on the hunt for it. Rang up JB Hi-Fi and they sold their final copy earlier that morning! :mad: Anyway, it's coming in a week. Can hardly wait. :D

[Necropolis]

JB in Chadstone have a couple of copys, i get my copy from Frankston tomoz morning

[Örkki]

Ok, finally got the DVD, I even bought a DVD-drive just for this release :D And it was sure as hell worth it, the documents are great and live gigs too.

ROCK ON!!

[lil_andy]

Couldn't wait the week, so went and got it from JB at Chadstone. Cheers for that Necropolis. (When I rang up Dandenong JB, they only told me about the one at Frankston, bastards!)

Fucken awsome DVD. Loved the bit where Sam was trying to learn Massacre (my fav song by far). And when the bezerker was fighting the singer from Labrat blindfolded. :D Killer DVD, great work.

[Braintechnician]

yes massacre is a pimped out song

[Braintechnician]

it was wierd.i was watching fuse the uranium show and the part where tony from nile was practiceing corporeal jigsore Quandry on a chair and sam &matt was praticing around him had appeared after the napalm death video 'nesscessary evil' had came one its one of the last vids to go on in the thirty min show But when i saw tony sitting down on the chair i was like what the thats sounds familiar then sam and matt poped out and i was like hey its from the dvd.

[Choronzon]

As some of you might know I write for two webzines, namely The Blastbeat zine (http://www.theblastbeat.net/) and Still Online (http://www.stillonline.be/) .

Recently I wrote following DVD review for both zines:

THE BERZERKER
The Principles and Practices Of The Berzerker DVD
Earache
Australian industrial death metal merchants the Berzerker have taken the extreme metal world by storm with their two consecutive releases “the Berzerker” and “Dissimulate”. In the wake of their year long world tour Berzerker mastermind/creator/vocalist Luke took his handicam along the ride. The result is this an impressive and thorough look into the world of the Berzerker. Including an hour of live footage shot over the course of different gigs and countries, a promo clip for ‘No One Wins’, two making-of features: 101 minutes about the recording of “the Berzerker” and 25 minutes about the “Dissimulate” album. Another 25 minutes of interviews with the band themselves and band related items such as artwork and the creation of the bizarre masks. Concluding another 35 minutes of fan footage. The DVD is laid out beautifully and the animated menus are a dream to work with. Most of footage has an outstanding quality in both image and sound – with occasional rougher fan footage thrown in between for good measure. Considering the time, dedication and effort invested into the making of this DVD the Berzerker have raised the bar exponentially for extreme metal DVD’s. In completeness “the Principles and Practices” brings Fear Factory’s “Digital Connectivity” to mind, although this one is even more complete. Mandatory buying for any the Berzerker fan.

[Engel]

All I can say after watching it is that I wish some of the guys I record with had the same ammount of perseverance as Luke!

[lordmaul30]

dvd is really good. was expecting a photo gallery and some easter eggs. is there any new material for a future album?

[hfos]

Damn excellent, especially the part about how difficult it was when you made the first album. The DVD is worth every cent/penny/whatever, it's an example for other bands!

[emperadorXXIV]

Whatever happened to 'Toby?' I love that guys scream. DId he make it onto the album cos although he moved house (changed phone number) he was interviewed on the dvd.

[dave salmon]

If you remember, after the making of the first album (on the DVD) it says that they ended up not using any of the other guys material on the final product!

[copper]

-Toby was on self titled , can you not tell , his scream is individual
-Dave ...........Val and patrick stuff was not used (from canada) , nothing to do with toby

+ the tracks toby is on has already been discussed

[copper]

Cannibal rights is a very good track for toby (sam) to be heard

[Braintechnician]

toby(sam) has the most craziest screams iv ever heard,ever

[copper]

1 hour 30 seconds into the dvd , ed is playing a part of cannibal rights which doesnt match up to the tab on this site , could someone tell me why the tab is different ................for those curious its 1 minute 10 seconds into cannibal rights that riff........i mean is ed playing the higher octive or whatever it is , where its the sam riff but higher?

[emperadorXXIV]

Wow, this dude is on the ball.

Toby's scream sounds amazing on te dvd but on my cd player it sounds a bit newtered.

[this_is_my_reality]

I haven't got the DVD yet, i'm gonna try and find it once again this week. I've seen the trailer though, and it looks bloody great! Is the current bassist that guy with the floppy hair who is playing a red guitar?

[Braintechnician]

Amazing. The making of the self titled is really insightful and makes one apprecate that album so much. Great work Berzerker!

[DistalSonority]

I just finished the DVD and I must say it is incredible. (ordered "The Berzerker pack" from Earache, both cd's and the DVD for $40, free shipping).

It really goes in depth into the recording process, and the way they speak in the interviews and what not, it feels like they are speaking directly to any musicians and engineers who might be watching. They tell all what gear they use, what settings, tunings, and how the drums were done for each album...and of course the rehearsal and live bits were awesome. I love that about this. Thanks dudes.

[this_is_my_reality]

By the way Luke, on the DVD we see your cat asleep a few times, what's he/she called?
It's good to know cats like death metal!

[SID135]

I'd just like to say thank you to the berzerker! I just got the DVD and, holy shit... That is the best shit i have seen in a long time. And to think, Luke did it all by himself ... I'm proud to be Australian! (who also happens to be from Melbourne)

GO THE BERZERKER!

Haydens

[d a m n ation!!!]

Luke, has anyone made an attempt on your life for saying "Do it again..." one more time?

...just kidding!

:p

[Barnolde]

Just got the DVD, it's kickass!

Great menu and layout, etc. The live footage is all great, and so is all the behind the scenes stuff. It really shows how hard it is to play in the masks and I had no idea the masks took that much work to make.

Just an awesome DVD, are the videos of Reality and Forever on it? I didn't see them.

Kudos on a superb product :cool:

BTW, in one clip, it has someone (I think it's Luke, not sure though) ranting about PCs and saying that they wish they had some Macs to get the job done. I love that, Macs are awesome :D, the only other bands I know who are Mac fans are Iron Maiden and Circle of Dead Children.

[Braintechnician]

im more a pc type guy.i started with 98 and im still learning even after 4 years all this stuff i never knew.at school they got macs and im like what the fuck i listen to music a teacher passes by i try to hide it and it just leaves a little bar when windows u can hide it.im getting alittle to fustrated no hehe:D

[ofXnoXorigin]

ok, i finally saw it from start to finish...
and to put it simply, i like The Berzerker 10 times more than i already did, and i loved them, seriously.

The Berzerker did an amazing job on the disc, and never gave in to quitting. i am proud to be a fan of this work.

[Cyclonus]

I thinks its really good. Its "off the chain"

Had to order it from theendrecords because NOBODY has it locally.

I really appreciate the time and effort put forth by everybody involved.

[Rhan-Tegoth]

The DVD is awesome! I can't say enough good things about it. All I'm going to say right now is that I found it to be very inspirational. This is a band that simply does not give up. The DVD also made me appreciate all the members' abilities even more. I never realized how difficult the songs on the self-titled album were to play.

Nice job, Luke!

[Berzerker Ninja]

at last i've got the dvd of The Berzerker! I ordered it at my local musicstore but he wasn't able to get it! anyway i found the dvd at the Graspop Festival! I have seen it a couple of times now and it really kicks!!!!

[Bestial_hero]

Lots of good stuff on the DVD.
I enjoyed it.

[Horns_Up]

Excellent job on the DVD. The only thing I would have liked to see that I didn't was 5.1 surround mastering; but I realize that the recording didn't facilitate that. I absolutely am floored by the sheer magnitude of the material. Kudos!

[lordmaul30]

$180? are you mad? is amazon mad? i payed 20 bucks. someone's been snortin' somehting theey're not supposed to be snortin'.

Luke is seeing this?

Right!
This DVD fucking RULES. IT OWNS. I can't believe how fucking awesome it is.

Now you just need to release all the early gabba stuff on cd...

THE BERZERKER RULES. PERIOD.

I guess you'd say I'm a fan...

[emperadorXXIV]

Had the dvd for ages, still one of my favourites.

[OldMetalHead]

Just purchased the DVD this week.


Wow...I am in awe.
I truly believe that this is the first and only band to truly show the creation process in detail.

Every aspect of making the albums brought to light that this is not merely a job, but a passion.

I have far more respect for musicians now after watching this. The Berzerker (as a band) truly busted their collective asses to bring forth two of the most crushing albums ever!

I know now that I will be after the next album, and when the Berzerker comes back to the Chicagoland area, I will be going, come hell or high water!

Well done, guys!

[metaluntildeath]

Luke,

Your DVD is amazing. It's by far the best metal DVD you can possibly buy. It was really fucking cool to see how hard making the s/t album was... It has made The Berzerker one of my favorite bands.. The live material is fucking great, the backstage shit is awesome.

If I were you I'd be really fucking proud to be at the center of such an amazing machine(band). Until I get the chance to meet & shower you with praise, know that you've accomplished something truly special for the whole world to see.


Cheers!

[lordmaul30]

watch it every day. sometimes i watch it for the drummer, sometimes for the guitarist, etc. it's always cool to watch. hey, luke, how about a special edition version?

[blastbeat]

After watching the making of "self-titled" I've gained a whole new respect for The Berzerker. I hear people saying all of the time "yeah these guys just play fast, there's nothing to their music then hitting a bunch of notes and playing as fast as possible.", but they should really watch all of the hard work and all of the shit Luke and the guys had to go through just to get the first album done. It seems like "Dissimulate" was a dream for them compared to the self-titled.

[dave salmon]

Hey, does any one know who the guy is in the berzerker's dvd who downs the half pint/glass of jagermiester?

[blastbeat]

I think it was one of the guys from Labrat...watch it again.

[dave salmon]

Yeah i'll have to, its been a while!

[cadaverine]

the dvd fucking rocks!
nothing short of legendary!
if all metal bands put out such quality dvds, id buy more.

all hail The Berzerker!

[withinbunny]

hey just got the dvd yesterday.. its seriously kicks ass. i love the footage of recording the first album which im still fucking waiting for it to come via import.. (i live in ireland) i do have disimulate and thats kick ass..
the down picking in massacre wasnt even funny to watch ......
im heading over to austrailia in feb for 2 weeks to adaleide.. hope i might see ye over there.......... :D
keep it up luke \m/

[this_is_my_reality]

A bit that always makes me laugh is where Patrick puts those milk container things on his eyes, and one leaks and it looks like he's crying milk, he looks like a lizard or something!
Val is a funny guy too, what was all that about, with the drinking noodle seasoning?
"Now we have a lovely bevarage!"

[ABLATION13]

tell me if im wrong but it looks like gary (drummer) is reading off of a cue card in the interview section of the dvd. I've met the guy and he is kind of shy but I didnt think he was shy enough to have to have cue cards to talk about a band that he is in. No complaints though just something to bullshit about.

[ABLATION13]

glad to hear that im not a crazy bastard
once again: cool tats

[PISSANT OF FILTH]

I bought the DVD a couple of days ago. I thought it was good. This is a must own for fans of The Berzerker.

[Loc0]

the DVD fucking rules to say the least

the best thing i own.

even the cd store dude said its the best dvd he has seen!!!!!!
and he owns them all

[Only_Slightly_Bent]

The dvd kicks arse!

...even though I've now seen the drummer playing, I still can't work out how he does it so fast!

[The Entity]

You wanna know something about the DVD...?

I am in it...!

Let me tell you. That made my day! :D

[dave salmon]

Just watched it again, must say, spectacular!

[Eraserhead]

hello from a very hot South Africa ,

Got the DVD, Watched it , fucking brilliant.

[brainchild]

hi i am a new fan and am getting the dvd real soon i have a question for "the berzerker". Ok when you talk is your voice completly fucked up from all that screaming or does it sound half way normal... and for "the drummer" you are fuckin sick! hey i drum too... i am 13 and you have really inspired me..... i have a sonor 5 piece with paiste rude cymbals.... i love them...
o yeah and arent you in the guinness book of world records for fastest drumming with one hand?? i recall it was like 19 beats with one hand, per second.... is that true? and if it is ..... are you human??

[emperadorXXIV]

Conny Pettersson (Anata), Pete Scandoval (Morbid Angel), Alex Hernandez (Immolation) Patrick O' Keefe (Emforsaken) and Gary (The BErzerker) are my favourite drummers. Check em' out.

[Rhan-Tegoth]

o yeah and arent you in the guinness book of world records for fastest drumming with one hand?? i recall it was like 19 beats with one hand, per second.... is that true? and if it is ..... are you human??

He's not in the Guiness Book of Records. He can play 1148 notes in a minute using both hands. It has never been confirmed by the band that the drummer can play 19 notes in a second with one hand, and until I hear the band confirm it, I will continue to regard this notion as a rumor. Besides, 19 notes in a second, one handed? That's fucking ridiculous, people, even for a death metal drummer.

[BERZERKERCHILD]

This DVD was everything i expected and more......I finally got to see the face of my favorite drummer in the world. The live footage was amazing, and seeing luke kenny play no one wins just as fast as gary and sing at the same time made me shit myself, The BERZERKER is the most amazing band i have ever seen in the history of music itself. THANX for the great music :D

[Sledgehammer]

Reading other forums I read only words of admiration and marvel for the DVD - now it's a kind of a model for every band wishing to release a DVD.

I wonder, how many copies have been sold so far?

[emperadorXXIV]

Now that just rasises questions; Luke was a drummer, and was always his dream to aspie to be a great drumme,r but he was involved in an injury which meant he couldn't pursue his dream. If he can play No One Wins then it's just wrong???

[black_willow666]

after a long wait....i got it

BEST...thing....ever

[dave salmon]

I showed some of the DVD to a freind, they are now scared to come back round to my house because the DVD is there! lol, the look on the guys face was the funniest thing i've ever seen!

[BerzerkCorpse]

great job, very informative

[Johnsy]

i finally ordered in the cd and will get it next week. and then the week after that i'll be able to watch it when i go to my parents house cos i don't have a dvd player lol.

[FetusCakeMix]

On the short montages between every few live show during the live footage section, what is that techno music playing? Is that some of Luke's work? Where can I get more of that?

[lil_andy]

There is some of Lukes Gabba work here:

[Raziel4707]

the most insane dvd ever, i even got interested in the process and the guy that did the dragon cant have slept for months, let alone luke and sam!im surprised there wasn't a section full of sams pre-dissumalate physiotherapy!berzerkerizing those riffs must have caused the most insane case of wankers cramp in world history! thats fucking commitment to the cause dude, so few bands are that dedicated to what they do, imagine what the scene would be like if they were!

[Darkim]

Hey, just picked up the DVD, good fucking work guys.
Luke I have to commend you on all the work you put into the two albums. It's good to see people in extreme metal so passionate about making the music in their heads become reality. As a Death metal singer and Musician from canberra, your dvd has inspired me alot, and makes me realise that even though we are secluded from most of the world, Extreme Music can still make it.
Good fucking work.

[Dissimulate_Guitar]

yes yes yes yes it came today! well along time ago(i watched it) it was so so so awsome! its so fuckin awsome its to awsome for words! my band is gonna wear masks and we have 2 masks picked out for the band and when i watched the "creating the masks" i was shocked! the two masks for my band we on it! the bassists mask is mine and the purple thing is the bassist for my bands mask! wow never new how much a little paint could make a mask look so diffrent! if you want to buy one of the two masks you saw on the dvd (the bassists masks and the purple thingy) click one of the links below. The masks are the exact same as the masks on the dvd. Thanks The Berzerker for making such a kick ass dvd!!!

[GregGory]

what was the code for the dvd to show Reality?

[Lorgar]

I think this DVD has affected me psychologically. Every time I'm recording a guitar/bass/vocals part and get it wrong, I hear Luke's voice in the back of my head saying "Do it again!" :p

Also, me and my friend Dave (the drummer of my band) now have a habi of saying "What the fuck?" and "Brutal!" in our attepts at australian accents. And we also like to tell our guitarist to downpick everything :D

Have to agree with everyone else, the DVD is great! Though there were a few song missing from the live set that I would've wanted to see, but there always is :). Loved the extras.
But imagine this everybody: I bought the DVD off the shelf from a finnish music store. Berzerker DVD's available in Finland, I really was kinda surprised to actually find it :D

[gore_ridden]

im not saying we should all download the dvd off soulseek, but im looking for it ;) and if any of you fine chaps have it my name on slsk is gore_ridden

I adored the DVD loved every minute of it, i thought the live footage was awesome i so want to see the berzerker live next year when u come to the UK.

[Raziel4707]

if dude, nothing has been signed by the berzerker as yet

[Big-Al]

my DVD has been ordered along with the new album :p I CAN'T WAIT :p:p:p !!!!

should be here for christmas :p
(lol, i sent myself presents ;) lol )

[Raziel4707]

did you not already have it? everyone should have their own copy its the most in depth music dvd ever

[Big-Al]

No... i just have the self titled album and dissimulate.


...but that is about to change :D

[Robbie Filth]

The DVD is excellent very interesting about making the cd's, masks, artwork etc

The Live stuff is good and the bootleg stuff is pretty cool and i think the part in massacre when sam goes into the crowd is pretty funny cuz everyone avoids him

[Robbie Filth]

7753 my friend
How do you put in this code to watch reality?

Sorry if i'm abit of a noob.

[Raziel4707]

i dont know im afraid, i put it in the pc and went through the files on the dvd till i found the video then saved it onto my computer to watch it. hopefully someone will reply soon with a more useful answer. i think you enter it on the main dvd menu, just get to that menu and type the number in on your controller, but you might have to wait for new screens to load each time you press a number in. hope that helps!

[gore lover]

fucking brutal
i went berzerk on that shit

[Irwin]

I WANT THAT DVD! IT LOOKS SO GOOD!

Someone buy me it!

I'm getting the album when it's out here

[Big-Al]

Shame you just missed christmas...

[deform_dave]

I know i'm pretty late getting on here, but, the DVD is fucking awesome!

I was a big fan of the Berzeker's music before i saw it, but the DVD allowed me to see just how much hard work went into recording the albums.

Also, seeing the faces behind the masks adds a really cool "human" element to the band.

VERY impressed!

[dazzlerman]

The DVD is one of the best I've seen in a long time. The "making of..." parts unfortunately reminds me so much of Spinal Tap, as in everything that can go wrong does.

[Nosophoros]

I cant find any of the easter eggs. I have tried on my comp and on my DVD player. Someone should make a thread just dedicated to the eggs and how to find them.

[Count Healy]

I was about to ask the same question.
