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.

Master Killer is the Master Killer of songs

[@thrashupyourazz]

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!

[@stabyourcat]

One of the best hardcore records ever.

[@Cookie16monster69]

It has some Thrash Metal elements

[@stabyourcat]

***** There is elements of metal, sure. But Merauder will always be a hardcore band. Ask anyone in the hardcore scene if they are or not. I guarantee 99% of people say hardcore. Dillinger played pretty much metallic jazz on their first two records, but no one called them Jazz-Metal, or MetalJazz. Same reason no one calls Sabbath MetalBlues, or Agalloch Black Metalfolk... sub genres get so ridiculous. So while elements of other music totally exist in bands such as metal does in Merauder's music, it's sometimes more about attitude or appeal. Merauder are hardcore. That's why they're in every NYHC documentary, that's why people hxc dance at their shows (and they hxc dance onstage), and that's why they SAY they're a fucking hardcore band. Are you going to go to their shows and chime in "I'm sorry sirs, but you have elements of metal, you're a metalcore band!"

[@stabyourcat]

***** Breaking news! This just in! Some hardcore does not sound like punk rock! Look to the right---------> Look at those recommendations. I see a few that have zero to very little punk influence. I'm arguing whether or not one of the best NYHC bands is actually hxc. I have to do something else with my time!

[@indiglo1971]

Minor Threat is hardcore.

[@michaeledward5201]

@@stabyourcat ajjjj I guess also hardcore kids dance hardcore in bands that are more metal than hc, like arkangel undying day of suffering deformity sunrise unborn prayer for cleansing and early-caliban, I wonder what if I combine that hardcore with metal now? more hardcore '? hah

@@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.

[@matthiasi8292]

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.

[@cyanidechrist]

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!

[@xangrycatmanx5104]

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.

[@kingsizeblues616]

@@xangrycatmanx5104 Ill Nino's releases post-2008 have actually been pretty solid, considering. But yes, what you say is true

[@fabiopma]

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

[@itsDrx]

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.

[@CH-ml4rz]

HARDLORE sent me

[@Ratttlehed]

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.

[@jason_108]

@@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!

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”
