Merauder – “God Is I”
released June 19, 2009 on Regain Records
Merauder’s sound is described as “hardcore meets metal ferocity” and they have toured with the likes of Sick Of It All, Motorhead and Morbid Angel among others. “Until” gets the ball rolling with a good mix of crunchy guitars, thundering bass and drums that feel like rapid gunfire. “Built On Blood” has that old-school hardcore feel similar to Sick Of It All but much, much heavier in nature. “Perdona Me” reminds me a bit of Coalesce and/or In Flames by starting out slow, eerie, and working its’ way up to a melee of killer bass and blistering drums. Possibly the most balanced track on this album. Overall, a decent metalcore release that I feel is a good way to introduce someone to the overall style.
