Rolling Stone Indonesia magazine ranked the album No. 113 on their "150 Greatest Indonesian Albums of All Time" list.[1][2][3][4]

Background

[edit]

Burgerkill began to work on Beyond Coma and Despair in early 2005, where at the same time, Toto left the band after nine years together as drummer to pursue his career outside the band. He was replaced by Andris, who at that time was playing bass, and did double-duty during recording. Recording was completed by September 2005 (2005-09) with studio production between March-April 2006 (2006-04). This coincided with the end of their collaboration with Sony Music Indonesia due to no agreement by both parties regarding the album materials. the band released the album through own Revolt! Records label in August 2006 (2006-08). A few weeks before the album was released, Ivan Firmansyah, known as "Ivan Scumbag", died. The album launch continued with Teguh ("Right 88") and Yadi ("Motordead") temporarily filling-in. During this period, Ramdan joined the band on bass guitar and Vicky joined through an audition to be vocalist. "Beyond Coma and Despair" consists of 12 songs including 1 cover song "Atur Aku" of "Puppen", written by Robin Malau and Arian Arifin known as "Arian 13" ("Seringai").

A limited vinyl run of the album was released on September 18, 2014 (2014-09-18) in Bandung.[5]
