About This Act :


Originating from Bandung, West Java, Burgerkill were formed in 1995 and have been continually shaping the underground metal scene in Indonesia ever since. For 14 years Burgerkill have consistently been in the spotlight as a force to be reckoned with in Indonesian metal, from writing compositions for movie soundtracks to the successful publication of autobiographic novels. Their first album, 'Dua Sisi', demonstrates the band's beginnings as a leaning towards a predominantly Hardcore Metal and was well received within the underground metal community. With their second album 'Berkarat' and their most recent 'Beyond Coma and Despair' Burgerkill have found their foot-hole and developed a style of their own. Burgerkill set the standard for live metal performances in Indonesia, and have always been a clear cut above the rest. What you hear on the album is what you get live - no disappointments. Their style and level of performance are incomparable to anything previously seen or heard in Indonesia. Burgerkill have become veterans of the metal stage as they are regularly supporting International metal acts touring Indonesia such as The Black Dahlia Murder, Hellowen, As I Lay Dying, and Himsa.
Recently the sound that is Burgerkill has been heard across continent to Australia and 2009 saw the band perform on Australian soil. Burgerkill headlined their own Western Australian tour, 'The Invasion of Noise' with the support of local metal bands. Following 'The Invasion of Noise' tour, Burgerkill performed alongside such bands as Devil Driver, In Flames, Lamb of God, and All That Remains as part of the Soundwave Festival, Perth 2009. As stated by Randy Blythe (Lamb of God) Burgerkill were easily one of the best metal acts he saw on the tour. Upon their return from Australia Burgerkill have kept themselves busy by doing back-to-back tours across South-East Asia, and in October 2009 they will hit the road again on the 'Allegiance to Metal' tour across Java with Psycroptic before heading to the studio to write their long awaited fourth album planned for release at the start of 2010. An impenetrable force, Burgerkill have been relentless in their attack on the Indonesian metal scene and are now ready to conquer the world. Burgerkill are more than ready for the international scene and to follow their dream of touring the world.
'Beyond Coma and Despair' out now in Australia through Xenophobic Records.
