NEWS: Berator announce summer of darkness with “Elysian Inferno”!

Four years after their devastating debut demo, Chicago Death dealers Berator are looking distinctly green around the gills and with good reason. They’re about to vomit forth 20 minutes of fierce, old school Blackened Death Metal via Dark Descent Records and an age where an over-polished sound is the norm, “Elysian Inferno” delivers a welcome reminder of just how ferocious and vehement extreme metal can be. The six track affair drops on June 10th while the band are at Decibel Metal and Beer Fest in Philadelphia!

Guitarist Richard Olsen, who left behind his Profanatica duties to focus on Berator full-time, stresses the importance of production: “The BERATOR EP was tracked live, just me and Dan (drums) in his studio, and we built around those live tracks for the record, which in itself, gives it a level of raw power you can’t get from a click. Tim Pearson (bass, ex-The Chasm) and Pat Clancy (guitar, ex- Nachtmystium) then added their parts. The sound is entrancing, excruciating, and insane, for people who appreciate forward, to the point, nonstop riffs. It’s a seamless record meant to be heard as 20 some-odd straight minutes of rhythm and violence”
