Burgerkill Wallpaper

Bio

Originating from Bandung, West Java, Burgerkill was formed in 1995 and have been continually shaping the underground metal scene in Indonesia ever since. For 2 decades Burgerkill has 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. Burgerkill is a dynamic composition of talented musicians who have all individually featured as prominent influences within Indonesia's underground metal milieu. With Vicky on vocals, Ebenz on guitar, Ramdan on bass, Putra on drums, and Agung on guitar, the result is a lethal combination of musicians who, as if by instinct, produce a most rancorous sound that leaves you feeling downright butchered.
