The theme for "Murmaider". It's about mermaids killing humanoid sea crabs, which led to their queen to take revenge after a school of mermaids except for one child. The mermaid grows up and prepares to kill the queen. Unfortunately, the mermaid gets hacked to pieces before she can deal the final blow. "Murmaider II: The Water God" reveals she survived and her attempt made her a legend. She accepted a Deal with the Devil, becoming the Water Godnote and killing everything to make her own empire, causing the other gods to hunt her down. By "Murmaider III", she's surrounded on all sides by the gods and all her enemies she made in carving a bloody path to greatness, and the best she could do is make a Last Stand in defiance.
That's the story based of the music video, but outside the first song the lyrics don't correlate and expound on it's own story. My interpretation based purely on the lyrics: Murmaider I: The Murmaider goes to war with mermaids, enacting some unknown but deep-seated revenge against them. Eventually he is "defeated" and 'his life is ended by murmaids'. Murmaider II: The Murmaider is revealed to have survived and heals up in some desolate cave. He meets a prophet that tells him is fate; to become a God that frees them from the tyranny of murmaids. But the prophet warns that mermaids are sacred and beloved by gods deep in the ocean. He cares not for the warning and continues to gather power. Eventually proclaiming himself as The Water God all the while the deities begin to plot his demise. Murmaider III: The Water God has ruled over the sea as a tyrant but now faces the end of his life. Three Murmaids approach him to herald his failures and gloat that in this final battle, against an alliance between the land, sky, and the bowels of hell, he will fall and the Murmaids will survive.
Best part about Metalocalypse is that it's made by metal heads for metal heads. Small obviously is a real fan when he can write songs like this and the show has great deep references, not surface level stuff.
I knew Brendon Small for sure was a legitimate metal head when I was watching the "Go Forth and Die" episode recently, where it starts off with Nathan having a nightmare where he's working at a fast food place. They never say the name of the restaurant, but you can read it off his shirt or hat but anyways, it's called "Dimmu BURGER" Which, some metal heads would notice, is referencing the Black Metal band 'Dimmu Borgir.' lol, and not only is it a good heavy metal reference. It's also a pretty clever joke.
you can tell Brendon went hard on this song knowing it was more than likely the end of the Murmaider story. never know though, maybe someday we could get a murmaider 4
@@Mr_LeviathanEnvylol I know right! I re-listened to all 3 in a row recently, and I gotta say this is a good way to end the story, but damn do I hope they can someday do a murmaider 4
I’ll say it, it’s a hard decision, since every song on this album is a masterpiece. But in my personal opinion. This is the best one off the album, and maybe their entire collection! 🤘
I cannot express how this makes me feel. I did a cover of Murmaider I (Bat metal version) and I lost my dog few days later. I try not to think of him as it breaks me but this brought fond memories of him. I felt he is at peace. It teared me up when the last chorus hit. Thank you Dethklok. Love A 666 In the deep We survive We survive The final dream The gleaming reef The silver light The Murmaids sing The blackened fire The blazing sky The pluming ink The sea beast cry His final sleep But we survive
Brendon surprises me with his musical evolution trough the years. Also, Gene has materialized a lot of his drum feeling. They share like a Steve Harris and Nicko Mc Brain connection. Its a good comeback.
this song yanks at my dethklok heart. I wish they continued that final rift and kept telling the story. Brendan, please make a dethklok murmaider epic poem. I want to know more about the sea king and your music for it
Bro facts. I thought murmaider 2 was as good as it could get......till i heard the ocean Galactik...... then that was it......until this fvcking masterpiece came out. 😂😂😂
In San Diego this year there has been an unprecedented rise in sightings of Orcas herding dolphins in-shore and slaughtering them. The beginning of this song makes me think how terrifying it must be to be hunted by sonar signals you can hear as you're slowly surrounded and pushed into no escape
Oh my when I just discovered this my jaw literally was wide like a jaw shark bc I just adore the bands music and pluse it's gunny bc I doodles a doodle of an oc inspired by the murmaider herself a few hours ago!!!! Dethklok is truly a beautiful metal band!!!
Someone's god fucking damn!! I fucking fell to the floor because my phone suddenly weighed more than a billion suns from the crush of this masterpiece.
I love them & the show I'm still furious they took it off the air. I was one of "those people" that kept writing to everyone to get it back 😢 on the air❗️I went to the hospital with my dad & stayed the few days there also for him have a lung biopsy to see if he had cancer, he did & it was serious ended up being fatal, well when I came home my fiance was more upset than he should have been that concerned me a bit. Well it was concern for me because he knew I was going to want to watch my show right away & guess whose dad died of cancer on that very episode 😮❗️It was amazing to me but he was afraid I would breakdown or something it was a trip though 🤪❗️
@TheMeh115 I know it does but Murmaider is how the show started and how it should've ended. Plus the lyrics depict a final battle in the ocean which is semi-true to the movie
@@zedanide6984 nah, I get that. And thematically, it makes all the sense. But that’s also the same with Aortic Desecration and SOS - the former literally depicting Nathan’s broken ego/heart, and the latter literally embodying his “come back and maybe together we can fight this” mentality after the fact.
Bro honestly dethklok is the best sound in metal you could possibly get from the voice and just that different sound the way dude plays guitar is just epic and its all different sounding..this is real metal not the bullshit like godsmack and all those shitty wanna be metal bands idk that's just my opinion of it i guess
This is what happens in "Murmaider II: The Water God". After surviving the events of the first "Murmaider", the mermaid visits a sea prophet who deems her The Chosen One destined to bring the oceans to greatness. However, the sea prophet warns that choosing this path will forever make her an enemy of the gods who are watching her. The mermaid accepts her destiny anyway, claiming that she had gone through much worse. By "Murmaider III", she comes to regret her decision - she has carved a bloody empire and is one of the most powerful beings of the ocean, but now everyone wants to kill her.
@@I_am_a_cat_ well, if you look at the other comments, you'll quickly see that it is widely considered canon that the king from the song is the murmaid from the first Murmaider's music video. Who was a woman. And yet the king is clearly referred to as a man. I invite you to arrive at the only possible conclusion.

if you count The Ocean Galactik it could mean that she finds peace at last after the battle with the gods
@@ComandanteShepardnot dethklok
Murmaider II and III refer to the protagonist of the songs as male.

I love how final this song is. The last on the album, the last of the trilogy and the last Dethklok song. (possibly)
To this day when making any kind of list, I always hear (CHECK) in my head.
A single black tear rolls down my cheek.......thanks guys.
you can tell Brendon went hard on this song knowing it was more than likely the end of the Murmaider story. never know though, maybe someday we could get a murmaider 4
It makes me kinda sad hearing this song and thinking it may be the end. Man, I hope not. Dethklok is legendary. Brandon is legendary.
Newmaider
Amen to that

for me it's either this or SOS. but I can say I've been here since the first song

In the deep
We survive
We survive
The final dream
The gleaming reef
The silver light
The Murmaids sing
The blackened fire
The blazing sky
The pluming ink
The sea beast cry
His final sleep
But we survive
Dethalbum began with Murmaider, Dethalbum IV and the Metalocalypse ends with Murmaider.
🤘🏻 💀🕕 🤘🏻
How can you dislike this, why are you even here?
Brendon surprises me with his musical evolution trough the years.
Also, Gene has materialized a lot of his drum feeling. They share like a Steve Harris and Nicko Mc Brain connection.
Its a good comeback.
I wish they had a better bassist
Outstanding! This 61 yr old metal head digs the f$$k out of it!
ok
1:12 - 1:28 .
Idk if it's the weather or the will to rise as an undead warrior but I got goosebumps! VILE

Bro facts. I thought murmaider 2 was as good as it could get......till i heard the ocean Galactik...... then that was it......until this fvcking masterpiece came out. 😂😂😂
Dethklok is here, they will save metal.
In San Diego this year there has been an unprecedented rise in sightings of Orcas herding dolphins in-shore and slaughtering them. The beginning of this song makes me think how terrifying it must be to be hunted by sonar signals you can hear as you're slowly surrounded and pushed into no escape
That outro hits like a nuclear fucking bomb
Perfect ending to the Trilogy.
A tetralogy if you count (The Ocean Galaktik)
@@ComandanteShepardtrue. and that song was pretty damn epic (and cosmic in my opinion)
God dammit bro's, I don't want it to end! What a fucking epic masterpiece. But that ending... From 3 minutes on is brutal!
The perfect release to give my childhood some closure
A third murmaider is crazy
Brandon sneaking in the title of the song just like James did with Unforgiven 2
this song hits so damn hard
SPOILER ALERT FOR THE MOVIE
I find it awesome that they decided for Salacia to be murdered by the Water God
cant believe this came out 💜 id been waiting for so long and it was so worth it
Last night yesterday my date never showed up now but then I heard this song I was yeahhh my favorite song 💪🏼 thank you
Gardener of Vengeance is on repeat
my favorite song
Now we just need Bat Metal to be resurrected and do their thing
L take
Nah. Definitely don't need more music thieves
@I_am_a_cat_ tf?
They make animations, not music...

Oh my when I just discovered this my jaw literally was wide like a jaw shark bc I just adore the bands music and pluse it's gunny bc I doodles a doodle of an oc inspired by the murmaider herself a few hours ago!!!! Dethklok is truly a beautiful metal band!!!
I now know the lyrics to all 3 murmaider songs.... (knowledge is power)
Someone's god fucking damn!! I fucking fell to the floor because my phone suddenly weighed more than a billion suns from the crush of this masterpiece.
Ive been fucking waiting for this for far too long
Yyyeeeaaa, murmaider
We did plan to visit Bill family today. We apparently didn't plan bathroom access for it.
More!!! I need more!!!
The fact we got a dethalbum 4 is so amazing
Thank god they released this, I almost killed myself
Fantástico!
With this being the last song on Dethalbum IV, this is most likely the final song we'll get from Dethklok.
a more than likely sad truth. but Brendan still has Galaktikon, so maybe we will get a Galaktikon 3 album (hopefully)
Fuck, I missed Dethklok so much 🖤🤘
Yeah, I missed them too. Glad they released two more albums.
I love them & the show I'm still furious they took it off the air.

Yessss long live the metal ..😎🖤🤟 First comment greetings from Mexico 🎉
when was a 3rd one made? i only remember 1 and 2
just now with the release of dethalbum 4
Murmaider three? LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This deserves... so many more views. Wtf 😢
THEY MADE A 3RD ONE?! WHAT?!
I hope that Andrew Kevin Walker wrote the lyrics for this great song.
HELP DETHKLOK GET TO 1M SUBS
Please post the videos from aftershock
🤘🤘🤘🤘
🖤🖤🖤
🎉
dudes!
Я буду скучать
WASH THE LAND CLEAN AND IT WAS SAID, AND IT WAS DONE =)!
This is great ✊🤘ut I always felt rejoin was a great murdmaider 3 till this one 🤔
how
This should've been the Song of Salvation and SOS be the wrong one in the movie
I want to agree, but lyrically SoS makes more sense as the opposite of Aortic Desecration.
Nah, SOS fuckin’ kills.
@TheMeh115 I know it does but Murmaider is how the show started and how it should've ended. Plus the lyrics depict a final battle in the ocean which is semi-true to the movie
@@zedanide6984 nah, I get that. And thematically, it makes all the sense.

Ah, sweet Satan, I've missed Dethklok
