Who We Are: Merauder, New York City Metalcore
We're Merauder, a band from New York City. Here's who we are, what we sound like, and what you'll find in our store.
Where do we come from?
New York City, 1990. We started Merauder in New York in 1990 and have called the city home ever since. Brooklyn shows up in our art too: one of our designs has our name in graffiti letters over Brooklyn, N.Y.
What do we sound like?
Heavy. Our music sits where hardcore punk meets metal: metalcore, hardcore and beatdown, with plenty of groove. It's music made for small, packed rooms and big festival stages alike.
Who sings for us?
Jorge Rosado. Jorge took over vocals in 1995, the year our first album came out. He sang with us until 2003, came back in 2008, and has been at the mic ever since. Our lineup around him has changed over the years, but the sound hasn't softened.
What have we put out?
Four albums. Master Killer came out on Century Media in 1995, followed by Five Deadly Venoms in 1999 and Bluetality, both on Century Media too. God Is I came out on Regain Records in 2009. There's also our 1995 split EP with Stigmata, Brotherhood, and the 2007 collection Master Killers: A Complete Anthology.

What's in the store?
Every design comes from the band: the M emblem, our name in blackletter and in graffiti, and our records. Each one comes on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies, with kids' and youth sizes too, and every product page has its own size chart.
