“A berserker was a Viking warrior who prepared for battle by putting himself into a trance-like state. Some say they took hallucinogenic substances such as mushrooms, then went into battle ready to tear their enemies to pieces without feeling any pain, ready to die and go to Valhalla” (Ruthless)

“Curse Of The Beast” is about a guy getting hit by a werewolf, (bitten by the beast, now victim of the curse you’ve become) he’s a man by day then turns into the beast or werewolf by nite, (forever in pain, waiting for you souls release) so it would be like guy turning into a werewolf at nite attacking people and waking up in the morning being a man again regretting what he’s done.

New album “Curse Of The Beast” out on July 17, 2026 on Fireflash Records

Since the early 1980’s, lead by vocalist Sammy DeJohn, RUTHLESS has stayed true to its style of metal, from the classic first EP “Metal Without Mercy” (1984) and the debut cult album “Discipline Of Steel” (1986), to the later albums “They Rise” (2015)” and “Evil Within” (2019). Their previous album “The Fallen” was released in January 2024 on their new label Fireflash Records (WOLF, HOLY MOSES, MEZZROW a.o.), followed by a European tour as support act for their fellow believers JAG PANZER, cementing their reputation as a magnificent live band.

RUTHLESS upcoming new album “Curse Of The Beast” will be released on July 17, 2026

RUTHLESS are proud to release the second single, along with a lyric video for the track “Berserker“.

Sammy DeJohn adds: “A berserker was a Viking warrior who prepared for battle by putting himself into a trance-like state. Some say they took hallucinogenic substances such as mushrooms, then went into battle ready to tear their enemies to pieces without feeling any pain, ready to die and go to Valhalla,”
