Obliterate The Weak Vinyl

BERZERKER LEGION was founded in 2016 by guitarists Tomas Elofsson (HYPOCRISY) and Alwin Zuur (ASPHYX) with a vision to create death metal of the most belligerent quality, they recruited a line-up of solid well-known musicians consisting of James Stewart (VADER) on drums, Jonny Pettersson (WOMBBATH) on vocals and Fredrik Isaksson (DARK FUNERAL) on bass to complete the Legion. Alwin Zuur (guitars/songwriter) comments: « During the recent years Tomas and I met each other at shows and festivals regularly. Much of our conversations were about music and styles. During these meetings we found out that we really had a lot of common musical interests. Music wise "Obliterate the Weak" displays the perfect balance between brutality, melody and harmony. Being a fan of the early 90's Swedish Gothenburg style, with bands like AT THE GATES, EUCHARTIS, A CANOROUS QUINTET, as well as being a die-hard fan of brutal old school death metal style with bands like BOLT THROWER, OBITUARY, I have always wanted to write songs showing a mix of such different death metal genres. The great musical cooperation between Tomas and me has made "Obliterate The Weak" a variously solid diverse album where you can expect 11 songs of violent pounding riffing in a massive wall of sound mixed with immense melodies and thrilling harmonies. » Vocalist Jonny Pettersson explains the lyrical theme of "Obliterate the Weak" : « The lyrical concept is based around how religion is poisoning the world, and even after so many years of evolution, development, we still have huge parts of the world that believes in a fairytale, people who believe that this fairytale is worth going to war over, worth killing for and uses as an excuse for truly malevolent acts. These are weak minded sheep that will do anything in the name of whatever god they believe in. "Obliterate the Weak" draws from the will to eradicate all forms of religion and tells a story of atrocities made in the name of a fiction. ». Saying the album songs transpire massively produced invigorating heavy death metal is an understatement. BERZERKER LEGION knock out with warlike triumphant, powerfully addictive harmonies that will turn them into an unstoppable beast in a live situation and on record.
