Into the Realm of Legend 10. Dawn of Revelation 11. The Revolutionary Soul  Formed in Aarhus, in the center of Denmark, Exmortem spent two years as Mordor until 1994, and then the next four years - and the two first albums - honing their blades in the local scene, before they eventually became one of the few extreme metal bands in Denmark to sign to a foreign label at that point. The deed was done with \u201cBerzerker Legions\u201d, their third full-length, released by Hammerheart Records in 2001, and hailed as a masterpiece in Europe\u2019s technical\/brutal death metal.  \u201cBerzerker Legions\u201d was released in the beginning of the new millennium and the death metal scene was starting to change a bit\u201d, guitarist Martin \u201cSigtyr\u201d Thim says. \u201cOr to put it another way; I remember it as the beginning of a period dominated by technical death metal and also the beginning of this modern nu metal wave. Our own take was, however, merely we had to increase the paste. Apart from this, you still had good albums from acts such as Incantation, Immolation, Nile, Entombed, Hate Eternal and the likes\u201d. Still, \u201cBerzerker Legions\u201d shone as the European answer to ultra-technical bands such as Hate Eternal or Morbid Angel. The record quickly called the attention of the specialised press and quickly the band was moving to Osmose Productions and, later, to Earache Records. \u201cBerzerker Legions\u201d, however, remains as the album that really started it all for Exmortem and put the band one gear up in the highway of the extreme metal scene.  The technicality, however, didn\u2019t come easy for the band. \u201cThe thing I remember the best from the period around \u201cBerzerker Legions\u201d is the numerous rehearsals before the recording!\u201d, vocalist Simon recalls. \u201cAgain and again we pounded the shit out of the tracks in our rehearsal room, where our drummer Reno Kiilerich had already spent the first 2-3 hours rehearsing alone. The songs had to be nailed when recorded. This kind of work mentality wasn\u2019t something I was familiar with in my previous bands, so I had to work hard!\u201d. And the album production wasn\u2019t easier, \u201cThe album was recorded during a couple of weeks in Starstruck Studio with Anders Lundemark (Konkhra) and Bo Lund behind the mixer. It was hard work from early morning to nightfall and afterwards Reno would continuing working on the drum tracks during the nights\u201d.  Eventually, this working ethics would pay off, as Exmortem would release another three full-length records after \u201cBerzerker Legions\u201d, touring endlessly in Europe and getting the respect and high praise from fellow musicians and press alike. However, it was this album that defined Exmortem as a band able to go outside of Denmark and be at level with all the international acts.  \u201cBerzerker Legions\u201d will now get a full reissue by Emanzipation Productions. It will be available for the first time in vinyl in three different editions (icecold orange, grim yellow and black) and also on digipack CD (limited to 500 units)."}
