The Berzerker has produced five full length albums, The Berzerker (2000), Dissimulate (2002), World of Lies (2005), Animosity (2007) and The Reawakening (2008). These were released through Earache Records, with the exception of the latest album, which was released through Berserker Industries. During the early part of their career as a live act, band members were identified only as The Vocalist, The Guitarist, The Bassist and The Drummer, distinguishable on stage only by the masks they wore. However, the group has since abandoned this device.
A DVD documentary, The Principles and Practices of The Berzerker (2004), includes several hours of live concert footage, as well as the first public images of the band members without their masks.
Most of the band's music videos have been banned from broadcast for reasons such as the possible epileptic fit-inducing imagery contained in the video "Forever", and the horrific imagery of "Reality". The latter features graphic images of cadavers and body parts, along with appearances from the band themselves.
Years active: 1995-2010
Death Reveals
The Berzerker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one's who knew you will soon FORGET
That you have now attained WHAT YOU WANTED
So why should it be HAUNTING YOU?
As the generations past and time leaves you behind
Existence will be now erased from other people's minds
so that once a living being affecting many other lives
Are you unaware that there is comfort found in pain?
The endlessness of all the thoughts compounding in your head
shows you the tragedy of willingly, wanting to be here.
Existence is meaningless in OUR WORLD
Hurt that frequents your mind a constant memory
Of a life that is not always WANTING
To be free of all the PAIN AND HATRED
I can almost feel it WHY CAN'T YOU
Death is to be free of and to cause ultimate pain
Life is fleeting moments of regrets and poor decision making
So many untruths to sort through never knowing why
One day I shall understand why WE DON'T
Can't understand the mortality of man?
Why do I use words of hate to fund communication?
Does the perfect world exist already, in my mind
I can see it, I can feel it
Is death freedom from this world?
The one's who knew you will soon FORGET
That you have now attained WHAT YOU WANTED
So why should it be HAUNTING YOU?
Death is to be free of and to cause ultimate pain
Life is fleeting moments and regrets and poor decision making
So many untruths to sort through never knowing why
One day I shall understand why WE DON'T
Are you unaware that there is comfort found in pain?
The endlessness of all the thoughts compounding in your head
shows you the tragedy of willingly, wanting to be here.
Existence is meaningless OUR WORLD
The Berzerker's song "Death Reveals" is a haunting meditation on the nature of mortality and suffering, and the ways in which we try to make sense of our own existence. The lyrics suggest a sense of resignation and despair, as the singer reflects on the futility of life and the inevitability of death. The opening lines ask whether death is freedom from our earthly troubles, while later verses suggest that the pain and hurt that come with life may be incommensurable with any notion of ultimate liberation.
As the song unfolds, we hear a mix of anger, sadness, and confusion in the lyrics. The song suggests that the human experience is marked by false hopes, uncertain knowledge, and deep ambivalence. The line "existence is meaningless in our world" captures this sense of nihilism, as does the refrain "one day I shall understand why we don't." Overall, the song is a powerful and disturbing reflection on the human condition, and the ways in which we strive to make sense of our mortality.
