Merauder

Merauder is a hardcore/metal band from Brooklyn, New York, known for blending the aggressive intensity of hardcore punk with the heaviness of thrash and groove metal. Formed in the early 1990s, they gained recognition for their raw, streetwise sound that helped define the metallic hardcore scene of the decade. Their influential 1995 debut album, Master Killer, is considered a cornerstone of the genre, pairing brutal riffing with gritty, confrontational lyrics. Over the years, Merauder has built a loyal following through relentless touring and their uncompromising musical approach.

Throughout their career, Merauder has experienced a number of lineup changes, with vocalist Jorge Rosado emerging as a key figure in the band's later years.
