█ █
█ :: Music, when truly and fully appreciated to its greatest extent, ::█
█ :: becomes more than just a medium of entertainment, and transcends ::█
█ :: into a life style. In no other genre of music have I seen this ring ::█
█ :: as true as it does with extreme metal. Unlike other, more easily ::█
█ :: accessable genres such as pop, rap, and "nu - metal" (which is ::█
█ :: really just another way of saying alternative rock), metal is ::█
█ :: something that you either love or hate. Metalheads are easily ::█
█ :: amongst the most dedicated fans of any art in the world; we take our ::█
█ :: music seriously. Extreme metal is the anti-thesis to all things ::█
█ :: commercial and plastic, and takes real dedication to understand and ::█
█ :: enjoy. One of the more overlooked aspects of extreme metal is that ::█
█ :: it is extremely diverse - more so than any other genre I have ::█
█ :: encountered. To able to say that you like *all* types of underground ::█
█ :: metal shows an extremely diverse musical palette. Death metal, black ::█
█ :: metal, melodic death metal, grindcore, folk, raw black metal, ::█
█ :: symphonic black metal - the differences between all these subgenres ::█
█ :: are often foolishly overlooked, but should by no means be ignored. ::█
█ :: Extreme metal is the most powerful form of music ever created - its ::█
█ :: had the power to produce the most extreme, agressive art ever to be ::█
█ :: forged by human hands (such as with raw black metal and grindcore), ::█
█ :: and at the same time some of the most beautiful (such as with ::█
█ :: melodic death metal and progressive metal). BERC is proud to be one ::█
█ :: of the few release groups in the scene 100% dedicated to the most ::█
█ :: diverese, intellectual, agressive, ugly, raw, grim, and beautiful ::█
█ :: genre of music there is - extreme metal. We will never release ::█
█ :: anything for any reason that doesn't fall under this banner - you ::█
█ :: can always rely on us for extreme metal, and ONLY extreme metal, ::█
█ :: releases. At the time of this writing, the only groups that share ::█
█ :: our 100% dedication to extreme metal are END,CNMC,GRAVEWISH, and SS, ::█
█ :: and to them we offer nothing but respect. In our relatively short ::█
█ :: time on the scene, we've gathered a suprising amount of followers, ::█
█ :: and to them, as well as all the people who have helped us along the ::█
█ :: way, we would like to thank for their assistance and, in the case of ::█
█ :: fellow metalheads, brotherhood. As for our detractors (of which we ::█
█ :: have suprisingly few), we would like to this oppurtunity to issue a ::█
█ :: sincere "fuck you". BERC has not, and will NEVER, rely on shitty ::█
█ :: DALNET, Napster, etc sources for our releases - EVERY SINGLE release ::█
█ :: we make, we ourselves rip, and to the 3 or 4 nu-metallers in AMRC ::█
█ :: who have denounced us as doing otherwise...grow up. We release ::█
█ :: everything our proud genre has to offer - and this *includes* ::█
█ :: ultra-ultra rare bootlegs/demos of shitty sound quality...what you ::█
█ :: have to understand, however, is that we release these rarities in ::█
█ :: order to offer fans of our genre material that they would otherwise ::█
█ :: never have - it has nothing to do with advancing our position in the ::█
█ :: charts. Extreme metal is our domain, rarities our speciality. In a ::█
█ :: matter of merely a few months, we have already released INCREDIBLY ::█
█ :: rare demos of such well-known and respected extreme metal acts such ::█
█ :: as Darkthrone, The Haunted, Obituary, Dark Tranquility, Opeth, ::█
█ :: Samael, and more. The sound quality with such rarities is, of ::█
█ :: course, not always optimal, but we realize that it may be the only ::█
█ :: oppurtunity for fans of extreme metal to ever hear these rarities - ::█
█ :: and so we of course release them. Extreme metal: the genre you ::█
█ :: either live for or hate. BERC: the crew you either love or hate. If ::█
█ :: you're interested in joining the most dedicated extreme metal group ::█
█ :: in the scene, drop by #berc on efnet, and msg an active OP. ::█
