Biography

Berserk was born under the name of Abaddon and the founding members were Forjstorm (guitar), LordMonk (bass), Frozen Wind (drums) and Gog (vocals and guitar). Some months later, in November 1998, a new member joined, Obitus (synthesizers). Then we decided to change the name by the current, Berserk, because this is more appropriate to our pagan ideals.

In December of 1999, we recorded our first demo called "Return of The Ancient Laws", that it is formed by four songs and it was composed in honour to our culture and roots. The demo has been distributed by Europe, and the comments have been very good. In June 2000, Gog was expeled, then Nazak joined us as new vocalist.

On summer 2000, we begun the recording of our second work (First CD) "...From the Celtiberian Woods", that was released by Oaken Shield (France), subdivision of Adipocere Records.

In July 2002, Berserk recorded the second album called "Rites of Supremacy" in the Artica Studios in Ciudad Real. The artist "Abigor" worked in the great artwork of the CD. Obitus left the band in October of this year. Oaken Shield and Adipocere Rec. released the new CD of Berserk in July 2003.

In November 2004, Battlelord Prod. releases a live album called "Live from the Woods" recorded in Bilbao (Spain), February 2004 and limited to 1000 copies. Adipocere Rec. re-releases the old demo of the band in the CD "Return of the Ancient Laws" with extra live tracks.

A new change in the line-up of Berserk since August 2005: Träg joined as the new drummer, and Frozen Wind moves to play guitar.

The band entered Artica Studios in December 2005 to record the third album "Cries of Blood and Hate". Then, Børge Finstad mixed the CD at Toproom Studios (Borknagar, Mayhem, Arcturus, Vintersorg...) in Norway.
