Talk:The Berzerker

message: Large chunks of this article appear to be directly lifted from Earache Records' official bio of the band (here  is the link), which is presumeably copyrighted.  That would explain the lack of neutrality observed below.  I'm going to edit out some of the offending parts.  We need a less obviously biased source than the band's record label (which has an interest in pumping them up).  Dkostic 17:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyrighted material 

message: This article needs to be rewritten in a more neutral, scholarly tone.  I've added the appropriate tag on the page.  This situtation would also be helped by editing out the stuff lifted from Earache's official bio, which is copyrighted anyway.  I've cleaned up the opening paragraph and completely rewritten the first paragraph of the bio, but the rest of it still needs work.  I'm also going to contact the admins and request that this article be watched for its copyright problems.  Sorry if I seem kind of shrill about this Dkostic 18:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You might be somewhat right, but The Berzerker most probably IS the most aggressive heavy metal band existing (for now). Music is something like hobby for me, and Metal music, especially extreme metal music, is practically my specialty :) Although The Berzerker group is somewhat controversial, in my opinion some if the passion of the fans should stay in the article because if you completely cut that out you loose a lot. --Borislav Dopudja 21:22, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, I don't know if they're necessarily the most aggressive, but don't get me wrong, I really like the band. I'm a metalhead myself and the band offers a pretty unique sound you don't hear from anyone else. However, the page doesn't uphold the Wikipedia:Neutral Point of View standards. I can understand wanting to maintain the sentiments the article has- If I were to write the article from my own personal perspective, the summary would be something like "A fucking brutal industrial metal band". However, the goal here is to present a dictionary-quality entry, which requires a more objective, neutral standpoint. Col.clawhammer 17:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: genre

message: Nothing major... added The Berzerker to the 'list of grindcore bands' category, removed the trivia section as Wikipedia recommendations and removed some of the over-linkification... I didn't think we really needed links to wiki pages on drums and concerts ;-). Or two separate links to 'death metal' in one sentence. Trying to do a bit of an overhaul of the whole grindcore section at the moment, hope no-one minds. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 17:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They're not a grindcore band. They're not even a deathgrind band. Metallum is not a reliable source (user-edited) and the band claim "industrial death metal," which is what they are. 68.47.81.164 (talk) 18:32, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  What the band claims they are isn't the most reliable source either.  While I can see their current stuff being "industrial death metal" their early albums, especially the first, is pretty clearly deathgrind (with a big Carcass influence) using stripped down gabber/speedcore beats in place of traditional drums.  A lot of metalheads seem to call every metal/electronic crossover "industrial ____" when a lot of the time, the electronic element has little to do with industrial music.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vlad the Impaler (talk • contribs) 02:21, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: A few minor edits

thread_title:  The reawakening 

message: The infobox sidebar does not follow the wiki template. The band members section should only have names or a date if they are a former member. I edited the info box to match the information found at the bottom of the wiki page. --Triesault (talk) 17:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Band Members 

message: He joined on drums, why no info? And why is there still no heading for The Reawakening as I mentioned earlier, you mofos. --202.158.207.242 (talk) 08:24, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  TODD HANSEN 

message: Can anyone back up the claims in the first part of the biography? Specifically, the claim that Kenny was involved in a 'twenty 18-wheeler accident', or that David Vincent etc would have been featured in the first album.
This first section sounds to me like it's ripped out of promo material. I can't even find the band's bio on the Earache website, so I don't even know where this came from... Totallynotfbi (talk) 12:38, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
