Merauder breaking up

The future doesn't look particularly bright for veteran NYC hardcore/punk/metal outfit Merauder. Last night band co-founder, frontman, and sole remaining original member Jorge Rosado offered up this:
"This is one if the hardest things im about to do... I've been thinkin about this for a while... And I'm pretty much 100% on this... like I said before, time for new things. Nothing against any of my fans for you're da reason I've lasted so long. But I hate da industry full of fake motherfuckers n which is now also da attitude of some of da old n new bands. Plus I've been doin Merauder for too long time to end it. Only one Merauder n it's da one I've created n brought to a level dat others couldn't. I'm sick of da haters of who suck their own dicks fo da half ass shit they do. And sucking hard for they most likely have da tiniest dick, lol! Too much Rock Star bullshit!! It's not needed or was ever apart of underground music n especially in Hardcore!! Well it's all new age shit u can either follow dat shit to nowhere or do your research n do it da way it was. And bring it back but I dont see dat ever happening. So dat's why I'm startin fresh with Akani n if u supported me for what I did in Merauder, then u wont be dissapointed when u hear Akani. But I thank everyone from da bottom of my heart for all da support n great times we shared on n off stage. You guys are my life n are everything I am today. Thank you, thank you, but I'm not out!!! just starten a new n hopefully yah will enjoy it! Love yah!! .... Oh it's also our 20th yr anniversary this year so all da shows we do will be our last ones definitely."
Our assessment of this somewhat cryptic statement is that Merauder will be put to rest this year following some final shows. Meanwhile, Rosado will continue on with his other band, Akani.

That statement looks like it was written by a twelve year old girl.

Wat da f*k did I jus read?

anonymous 1/8/2016 7:06:44 AM

He definitely is not an original member. Merauder died when SOB passed away. Period.

anonymous 1/8/2016 7:08:18 AM

So the Fronz imposter who comments here is evidently in a band called Merauder and writes statements for the band.

anonymous 1/8/2016 7:10:58 AM

Hey lads, CJ McMahon here, I understand the feeling bro but also I am offering Financial Consulting Services starting at $20 per month, as we speak I'm about to launch a Social Network with Attila's Fonz himself, there u go

anonymous 1/8/2016 7:13:11 AM

Not sure why he said 20th anniversary. Their first show was 1990. It's been 26 years.

anonymous 1/8/2016 7:29:44 AM

yeah his spelling is shit but the message is spot on. Master Killer is one of the most important and ripped off records in the history of core.

anonymous 1/8/2016 7:31:35 AM

anonymous 1/8/2016 7:52:42 AM

Jorge is a great guy. Much success in the future, but RIP Merauder.

anonymous 1/8/2016 8:02:28 AM

These comments nail it Perfectly.

anonymous 1/8/2016 8:04:44 AM

PS...this just means he's not gonna play Merauder songs live anymore. Cos "Merauder" was just him and whatever randos he could round up at any given moment. They'd roll up to shows and not even bother bringing any equipment. Just bum off other bands. What a buncha lousy bullshit.

anonymous 1/8/2016 8:40:14 AM

Did he apply for welfare yet?

anonymous 1/8/2016 9:40:58 AM

I made it less than halfway through that "statement" before busting out laughing

anonymous 1/8/2016 9:41:11 AM

How are they even a band? They haven't put out a record in 7 years and don't even have an original member.

anonymous 1/8/2016 10:02:31 AM

Definitely not an original member or Co-founder. He's the only remaining member from when the band actually meant anything, but that's it.

anonymous 1/8/2016 10:04:40 AM

if you are talking shit about someone why don't u post your real name. I happen 2 know Jorge and he will smack the shit out of all u shit talking fckboys. yeah he aint the original singer but they wouldn't have risen 2 the level they did with Minus. Sob def would have wanted him to keep the band going so don't say it died when he did. B-R-1

anonymous 1/8/2016 10:05:04 AM

Master killer is a legendary album but anything else Merauder ever released has been mediocre at best. This is about 8 years to late , the hack line ups Jorge has been parading around have been a joke for years. I'm still bewildered that a guy in his 40s still talks like a 13 yr old wigger from the suburbs

anonymous 1/8/2016 10:16:26 AM

He means 20th anniversary of Merauder. To me he was THE voice of Merauder. Theres plenty of bands playing for big $$$ w only the singer and scabs out there. Rather see a band w Jorge on vox playing merauder jams than a band of young ppl ripping off the rifgaye faking the image and style

anonymous 1/8/2016 10:18:06 AM

^^^ 20th anniversary of Master Killer, i meant

anonymous 1/8/2016 10:33:25 AM

PS. Five Deadly Venoms > Master Killer and the rest of their discography.

anonymous 1/8/2016 10:36:14 AM

all da shows

anonymous 1/8/2016 10:44:30 AM

He definitely is not an original member. Merauder died when SOB passed away. Period. Truth Minus wrote most of the songs on master killer so there's that. Jorge did a great job continuing, but feel short when it came to the rest. SOB was the leader of that band, the heart of it, and when he passed so did that band.

anonymous 1/8/2016 10:58:16 AM

I thought that maybe they spelled Merauder wrong on purpose, but after reading that statement, idk man.

308 1/8/2016 11:12:01 AM

send him 4010 N Henkel Road Pierson, Michigan 49339 send anyone ahahahah.

anonymous 1/8/2016 11:37:25 AM

hey kid, who posted Minus wrote most of the songs, NO HE DID NOT. Their original drummer Vinny wrote almost all the songs on Master Killer. If you notice hes the only one that never returned to the band. Had he came back 5 Deadly Venoms probably would have had better songs not saying it was bad though, I like all 3 of the Century Media albums.

"I'm sick of the scene and what it's become, so I am ending Merauder. If you like Merauder you will like my new band Akani. The scene won't still suck when I start a new band!"

"if you are talking shit about someone why don't u post your real name." LOL why would anyone want to do that? Then they'd have to deal with some seriously unhinged idiot showing up at their house screaming YOU SAID SOMETHING I DIDNT LIKE ON THE INTERNET! YOU NEED TO FIGHT ME! please off yourself.

anonymous 2 hours ago He definitely is not an original member. Merauder died when SOB passed away. Period. Truth Minus wrote most of the songs on master killer so there's that. Jorge did a great job continuing, but feel short when it came to the rest. SOB was the leader of that band, the heart of it, and when he passed so did that band. Sob had not been in the band for years at that point. Your comment doesn't really make a lot of sense.

anonymous 1/8/2016 1:31:21 PM

"Sob had not been in the band for years at that point. Your comment doesn't really make a lot of sense." And it was silly Jorge was still parading around as Merauder. Shit's whack.

anonymous 1/8/2016 3:08:44 PM

Looks like we have 'da' new Rick Ta Life of 2016

anonymous 1/8/2016 3:22:34 PM

Master Killer was dope, I hate metal core but they did it well. The lineup was great at that time..Sob, Vinny, Lopez, Jorge>Minus. The "da's" gotta go but he's spot on about the attitudes of bands thinking they're rock stars. Outed by DMS, so they didn't get the love anymore. He was always nice to me so I'll check his new shit, fck da haters...see what I did there:)

anonymous 1/8/2016 4:02:59 PM

Apparently I suck so hard I have a tiny dck.

anonymous 1/8/2016 7:53:38 PM

Grammar is stoked. Wait....

anonymous 1/8/2016 8:04:04 PM

A year, two years from now, when he realizes NO ONE gives a shit about his new band, there'll be an equally poorly written, and stupid post about "fckin' da hataz u kant keap Merauder down! Ya tried but we bakk!"

Donald trump is gonna kick your ass out of the country how bout you mosh to that 'homie'

No wonder Puerto Rico is bankrupt poor man's DMS running shit down there. Time to call in Ezec the Jew.

anonymous 1/9/2016 12:26:01 AM

We need SKAMz from clearfield to translate this fcking shit

anonymous 1/9/2016 4:34:04 AM

Marauder was always amazing live. I've seen them with Minus and Jorge. Jorge has killer vocal skills. Wish him all the best.

anonymous 1/9/2016 5:16:53 AM

The Master Killer himself is going to have to have a word with him about his spelling and grammar.

anonymous 1/9/2016 5:22:49 AM

^ The master killer sold his samurai sword and is now a family man with a stable 9-5 job. Statue of limitations on his hitman gig coming up soon.

anonymous 1/9/2016 5:41:57 AM

I think that message needs a whatever-dialect-it-is to English translation.

anonymous 1/9/2016 7:41:23 AM

Always wondered what happened with Jorge and DMS

anonymous 1/9/2016 12:14:29 PM

Ezec posted a tweet calling jorge and kevone "bitches" awhile back

Marauder died for me when SOB, my youngest brother passed away. He loved music more than anyone I know. All I remember is the band practicing in my home in Brooklyn. I had a free concert almost every night! I post this on the day of his anniversary. It's been 18 years. RIP and I miss you everyday ❤️
