This song brings me back to the moments when my dear husband was still alive. He loved this song so much and we used to dance to it together. It's been years since he's been gone, but whenever I listen to this tune, I feel like he's still with me, holding my hand and swaying to the rhythm. Thank you for producing such a beautiful melody that will always remind me of the love I once shared with my husband.
Just opened up for these guys lastnight in Jacksonville Florida with my band Rhythm Of fear! They played this song last, and his mic goes out so the whole crowd was singing the lyrics and when the chorus came, everyone was on top of each other singing "I AM THE MASTER KILLER"! It was fucking nuts! Loved it all, love Merauder and love my band!
I saw them around 2010 in Hungary when they was touring with Entombed. Entombed was one of my faves and I never heard Merauder before. Usually when I see a band I never heard before I usually forgot about them after, but Merauder gave a really good impression and I still love em
Damn WuTang and Merauder missed a chance to do a collab song the way Biohazard/Onyx and Anthrax/Public Enemy did. Hell, they even had the same Honk Kong martial art movie aesthetic.
Sob (Javier Carpio - ESP Mirage guitar/ 8ball tank) was my guitar teacher as a young guitarist in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Sunset Skins por vida! Miss you, my bro bro. RIP. I can still hear your raspy voice whenever I think of it. Love you, kid.
These guys must have had horrible management. Because they had the look & talent to make it BIG. The whole album is excellent. The riff in this song is incredible & drumming, WOW! How were they not on Ozzfest back in the day.
Not sure but there was a bunch of bands of this era that had "IT" and never blew up. I think I like it better like that at this point in life knowing it's still underground and still rips and still holds up. I just bought this cd this year. STILL backin this shit!
Personally, I think it was probably the band themselves not wanting to "sell out" by doing bigger shows. Earth Crisis did a similar thing in the late 90s and the hardcore scene turned on them from what I've seen and heard. Also Jorge from Merauder briefly joined the band Ill Nino but left for not wanting to be a sellout. After he left and Cristian became the singer, they became a pretty bog standard nu metal band, way more popular than Merauder but not as respected, and they fell off in the late 2000s.
if you listen to the episode of the Jasta podcast with Drew Stone he talks about that specifically, he was their management and said Marauder is a great example of a band that just couldn't keep together, they had just come up with an album and they were already booked to go on tour with Sepultura and then the band imploded it...sad
Honestly, their releases after Master Killer just didn't have it. Master Killer was a perfect debut and everything after was a disappointment in comparison.
I remember going to the store and trying to decide between Marauder or Fear Factory. This was before I had internet. I was able to listen in store, I picked Fear Factory but never forgot these guys. That were great too.
@@Mahmood42978 do your homework.. like any of the NYHC bands these were street dudes and still are. Look up some Jorge Rosado (singer) interviews. I slept on this band for a long time.. had the bluetality CD back in the day but didnt think much of them.. realising how awesome they are now.
@@Mahmood42978 Go fight Jorge Rosado and see how tough you are. Dude studies Brazilian Jiujitsu and would probably fold you up like a piece of origami.
This is the real shit!!!! -Name of the song based on a legendary kung fu flick- Check -Guy sitting on a throne- Check -Asian dudes messing with nunchakus on the background-Check -Air punching wearing thai boxing t shirt- Check
@@arturmalachowski8949 I didn't keep up with the progression of metal genre's from 1994 until just a couple years ago. I missed a lot in that time. Cool to hear these guys & learn of their influences. I love OSDM to the hilt but slapping some deeper lyrical content in there crossed with NYHC that actually means something is just golden. I literally just heard Madball for the first time last year!
@@jason_108 bro you have alot of catching up to do hahaha jkjk, been a massive music nerd since late 80s and the 90s was just an epic decade for metal/punk/hardcore music, but same for the 80s.
This clip made me discover MERAUDER it was 1997 on french TV , i purchased the album i still have , so much time after it's as fucking good as before when i was a teenager
I saw these guys in 1996 at WSOU 10th anniversary at Convention Hall, Asbury Park, NJ. I took a break from the pit and took a seat up in the auditorium. I looked over and the lead singer was sitting next to me. He was chill as hell.
I am proud to be a New Yorker because of these bands. I only like Master Killer and some demos with the Leeway singer. Very picky with Hardcore. Like a handful of bands.
Late but, bro, emo is equally hardcore, it was born from the DC Hardcore Scene in the 1980s with bands like Embrace or Rites Of Spring and was called “Emotionak Hardcore” or “Emocore”that the media mislabeled everything with Emo even doe it wasnt doesnt make emo bad, Emo is just as mislabeled as Metalcore with those banda that arent Metallic Hardcore but rather “Melodic Metalcore”
Remember first hearing this from a free cd on a Metal Hammer magazine in 96/7. Now 2022 and still sounding amazing! (though it's a shame the sound quality on this video is so poor compared to other audio rips on yt).
@Alucardtube636 yeah.. I think Jorge is Puertorican, I had a friend from NY know him and he was always talking all the time about Jorge "El Niño" time later i realize he was the same Jorge of MERAUDER

The "Master Killer" album is a fucking masterpiece
Yeah whole album is fuckin "razor"
I totally agree 🤘
My neighbor was the bassist
@@yaboy3than106 That's sick!
@@kingsizeblues616 yeah lol
0:08 I love that he jumps out of his chair to throw some moves just to sit back down again.
Master Killer is the Master Killer of songs

Damn that would have been awesome! Well... they both still perform so lets hope? xD
i'm happy they didn't
Plus Wu Tang has a member named Masta Killah
Judgement Night 2:
Merauder and Wu Tang Clan
Acid Bath and Three 6 Mafia
Anthrax and Beastie Boys
Brujeria and Cypress Hill
@@vapordreams983 dog Acid Bath and Three 6 Mafia would be fucking hellfire🔥🔥🔥

What's the cause of his death?
Respect:Tony from Hungary!
Did you guys rob a bodega together?
Sunset Skins down to kill never ran never will! My brother's the twins taught me that one! Edwin and Hector!
I listen to this album almost every day. A masterpiece 💪🏼🇵🇷🤘

I'll never get tired of this song!!
90s-00s were the absolute peak years for hardcore. So many good bands

greetings from romania.true hardcore never dies...much respect....
that lead guitar starting at 2:10 with the ominous rythm guitar is just so awesome. Just killer riffs on this song anyway!!
Gangsta Hard Core Metal...is it only me, or is it simply genial ?
Just makes so much sense tho
Man these guys need to be rediscovered. So good.
Gods Hate covered this at Sound and Fury 2023!
The new kids will learn.
After watching this video, I decided to lift weights.
And got buff?
because none of these dudes in this band are buff but yet are talking mad shit?

15 years after... still the sickest song ever! timeless anthem of the hardcore scene...
almost THIRTY years later its still the sickest song ever!
Just heard this again after all these years. Still a rocks like a mutha.
Always a pleasure to see Sob (RIP) and Anthony Muccini playing together
Drummer's whole attitude is the most old school New York thing ever.
Saw these guys in 96. They killed it!!!
This is the real shit!!!!

Best lovesong ever!
The toughest band from New York.
it's like deathened hardcore. Pure old school death metal riffing fused with NYHC this is masterful
This was a perfect crossover between the genres you mentioned. Solid album just as Biohazard’s Urban Discipline.

can't wait to see merauder on european tour with entombed in december......it will be some crazy night!!!
Man, I remember hearing this for the first time on the CM 10th anniversary album. I never thought there'd be actual Kung Fu in the video.
This album has reign in blood album intensity to it
Hardcore with a little thrash thrown in. This and until are the best songs to hit a PR on in the weight room !
One of the best ever!!!
Epic. Rip my good friend SOB Javier I miss you brother

Totally forgot about this for 10-15 years. Forgive me Mastah!
nice guitar work, really unexpected solo for this!
Still here in 2019🤘
The Real Metalcore Band
I remember seeing these guys in Toronto about 7 years ago. Was a crazy show with only about 70 people max
Hardcore royalty 🙌

saw them june 96 with rhythm trip and pro pain...... HUGE, one of the best concert of my life
damn this brings some good memories! when they actually played hardcore on music tv stations
one of my favorite bands. whatever you call them hardcore or metalcore. way better than all this emo metalcore shit today
I feel ya, i hate even calling any of these core bands that came out after 98 metalcore
I am proud to be a New Yorker because of these bands. I only like Master Killer and some demos with the Leeway singer. Very picky with Hardcore. Like a handful of bands.
They’re both to me but honestly I’d just say they’re a hardcore band

After lifting weights, I decided to watch this video.
These were the days metalcore was not the trendy shit is today. So much energy this album.
