Description
BERZERKER LEGION was founded in 2016 by guitarists Tomas Elofsson (HYPOCRISY) and Alwin Zuur (ASPHYX) with aávision to create death metal of the most belligerent quality, they recruited a line-up of solid well-known musiciansáconsisting of James Stewart (VADER) on drums, Jonny Pettersson (WOMBBATH) on vocals and Fredrik Isaksson (DARK FUNERAL) on bass to complete the Legion.áAlwin Zuur (guitars/songwriter) comments: ½ During the recent years Tomas and I met each other at shows andáfestivals regularly. Much of our conversations were about music and styles. During these meetings we found out thatáwe 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 ofáthe early 90's Swedish Gothenburg style, with bands like AT THE GATES, EUCHARTIS, A CANOROUS QUINTET, as well asábeing a die-hard fan of brutal old school death metal style with bands like BOLT THROWER, OBITUARY, I have alwaysáwanted to write songs showing a mix of such different death metal genres. The great musical cooperation betweenáTomas and me has made "Obliterate The Weak" a variously solid diverse album where you can expect 11 songs ofáviolent 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" : ½ The lyrical concept is based around how religion is poisoning the world, and even after so many years of evolution,ádevelopment, we still have huge parts of the world that believes in a fairytale, people who believe that this fairytale isáworth going to war over, worth killing for and uses as an excuse for truly malevolent acts. These are weak mindedásheep that will do anything in the name of whatever god they believe in. "Obliterate the Weak" draws from the will toáeradicate 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.áBERZERKER LEGION knock out with warlike triumphant, powerfully addictive harmonies that will turn them into anáunstoppable beast in a live situation and on record.
