 The Berzerker have take a page out of Steve Albini¹s (controversial Nirvana producer) book and listed a break down of what a band actually gets paid for a CD sale, stating that the average for their albums during their time at Earache was 3.3% of the retail price..
The band have said that "this has been done because The Berzerker have Filled there contract with Earache Records and left the label, [and will] now be "Truly" independent. The album is not even available in ANY retail stores."
Luke Kenney, the bands frontman said "Im fucking sick to death of fans NOT knowing where there money is going when they buy a CD, Steve (Albini) has the right idea, to expose this shit once and for all. I meanŠ a % of your money is going to the fucking retarded bitch sitting behind the counter at the HMV/TOWER where everŠ she¹s on the phone of painting her fucking nails and couldn¹t even tell you where the 'metal section' is if you asked her.
"So what if we sell less records being totally independent?, as least NOW with Berzerker Industries if people want to support us by NOT downloading our music they can!"
The band have issued a new youtube video on the subject which can be viewed below.
