'Where’s the Dictator?' introduced The Berserk as a ferocious new presence within contemporary hardcore punk. The debut EP drew heavily from fast, old-school hardcore without sounding derivative, channeling multiple eras into something immediate and cohesive. The Berserk combined tightly locked-in riffs with a vocal delivery that remained loose, volatile, and unhinged, creating constant tension between control and chaos. The band shifted seamlessly between blistering speed, stomping menace, and groovy urgency, maintaining momentum without sacrificing weight or aggression.

Rather than smoothing out rough edges, 'Where’s the Dictator?' leaned fully into grit and confrontation, pairing abrasive sound with openly hostile lyrical intent. The EP functioned as a direct assault on authority and institutional power, delivered with blunt force rather than metaphor. Production struck a careful balance between clarity and abrasion, ensuring every drum hit and guitar strike landed with maximum impact while preserving the rawness essential to hardcore punk. The record marked a clear evolution from the band’s earlier demo, refining their sound without dulling its edge. Self-released and paired with a commitment to donate profits to the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund, 'Where’s the Dictator?' stood as both a musical and ethical statement. It positioned The Berserk not only as students of hardcore history, but as a band pushing that lineage forward with urgency, conviction, and a distinct identity.
