Burgerkill is an Indonesian music group formed in May 1995. In early 1997, they released their first song, "Revolt!", which became the opening track in the "Masaindahbangetsekalipisan" compilation. They band named after the American fast food restaurant Burger King.

At the end of 1997, songs "Offered Sucks" and "My Self" appeared on Breathless compilation. Then in 1998, their single "Blank Proudness" was included in the Independent Rebel compilation. Since then, Burgerkill has been involved in many underground events in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Burgerkill became the first Indonesian metal band to sign a six album contract for Sony Music Entertainment. At the end of 2003, they released their 2nd album, Berkarat. It was chosen as "Best Metal Production" at the 2004 Indonesian Music Awards.

Their 3rd album Beyond Coma And Despair was released by their own record label "Revolt! Records" on August 2006. The music was utterly different to their past albums with heavier sounds and more explicit lyrics. It also included on The 150 Greatest Indonesian Albums of All Time list at number 113 by Rolling Stone Indonesia magazine.[2]

Ivan Scumbag, the lead vocalist, died in July 2006. After many auditions, they choose Vicky to be the new vocalist.

In 2009, the band toured in Australia. They also appeared at Soundwave 2009.

Burgerkill released their new album, Venomous in Indonesia around June 2011, Malaysia around July 2011 and Australia around August 2011.[3]
