Berri Txarrak originated in Lekunberri, Navarre, Spain in 1994 as a parallel project of Gorka Urbizu (vocals and guitar) and Aitor Goikoetxea (drums).

Berri Txarrak jumped to success within the Basque rock scene thanks to singles like "Lotsarik gabe", "500 urte ta gero" and "Ardifiziala".

[1] 2003 was the year in which the band released their fourth album, Libre ©, to excellent critic acclaim and earning them their first tour on Europe (UK, Denmark and Germany).

The album includes songs such as "Denak ez du balio" (which features Rise Against's Tim McIlrath), "Hil nintzen eguna" and "Izena, izana, ezina".

"[4] Also in 2011, the band released their 7th studio album, titled Haria (the Thread), recorded at Venice Beach with famed producer Ross Robinson (Slipknot, Korn).

In 2014, the band celebrated their 20th anniversary releasing a triple LP made of 20 new songs called Denbora da poligrafo bakarra (Time is the only poligraph).

In 2018, lead singer Urbizu recorded guest vocals for the all Basque hardcore punk band Adrenalized in the song Gezurra ari du (It's Raining Lies).

In late 2018, Gorka Urbizu, the only remaining founding member of the band and main songwriter, announced he had decided for Berri Txarrak to enter an indefinite hiatus.

In 2010, they made a version of the poem "Liluraren Kontra", written by the German poet Bertolt Brecht and popularized in Basque thanks to a song by Mikel Laboa.
