Mordred - Falling Away

[wetwithlife]

NOTHING is ahead of it's time... Just that most the people listening to this in 91 where behind the time.

[Hatredmoshcrew]

this makes me so proud to be a early 90´s kid!!! this is pure awesomeness....sadly the masses couldn't handle that....

[udrinkImthunk]

Great band, when I got this tape in the 90's , it blew my mind

[kivanckaranisable]

Is pause415 Paul ?

[DaChef1974]

@kivanckaranisable

It's Mordred's DJ Pause!

[bodraleadz]

Badass. Always thought this band kicked some major ass.

[cors0]

good old times !!!!!

[SixOneCyx]

Buried inside. One of my favorites.

[Psychochondriac]

I never understood the phrase, "before their time". Then, there was Mordred.

[evileddy666]

Fucking LOVE this band!

[Mystery4Live]

Perfect Mix at the "right" Time . Still Love This Album .!!!

[YpSiLoN666]

They should definetly come back!

[71taralouise]

funk metal, yer cant beat fnm and rhcp

[tektao]

@71taralouise FNM are best. then mordred. then infectious. white zombie and coc were groovie and cathedral lol... anyway red hot chillis are sell out shit. mordred waaaay better imho ...come back play london uk like you used too :)

[superjoint57]

KILLER SONG!  COME BACK MORDRED!!!!!!

[superjoint57]

LOVE IT!

[johnnyferret100]

Fucking awesome...great upload :)

[JackSFC17]

In This Life is an incredible album

[badmoodpixie]

Always were a bit of FNM alike, especially the singers "real thing" like vocals

[Kendrothalamus]

This is what inspired me to do harmonious Metal/Crossover music. The guitar harmonies are great!!!!!!!

[TinTinThemighty]

Saw them live at the Marquee club with Scat Opera, absolutely AWESOME (showing my age now!)

[exmouraTV]

YES...Mordred !!! These guys ruled...but the beauty of the internet is I was just thinking about this song and here it is !!!

[DeadlyRamon]

@exmouraTV Same here, I hadn't thought about Mordred in years, then it just occurred to me, I flashed back to when I heard this sone just once on a local college radio station, and thanks to Zavlem I found it on Youtube and have now heard it in its entirety. Great early 90s thrash with just a touch of rap; love the melodic vocals and lead guitar. Modern rapcore should take note and learn some lessons from Mordred.

[MrGeraint78]

awesome tune! 

[pause415]

Thanks for the support after all these years. Thrashing with my boys was one of the best times of my life! We did music that we felt, not afraid to experiment and not what was popular and those of you who got it...got it. I would do it all again and not change a thing! Thanks Ya'll! Pause

[DaChef1974]

@pause415

"In this Life" is a classic cult album, even over here in Germany. Thanks, man!

[kram83au]

seen them in scotland playing in this life album. a tad brilliant i might add.

[MultiCowboys4life]

awesome band

[mattormeg]

Brilliant track. This album and a few others got me through high school, the straight up worst period of my life. Can't tell you how many times I came home and blew up my speakers BLASTING this track over and over.

[wumpscut1]

these guys owned- played these so much my Fool's game CD has spots you can see-through- not good but MORDRED deserved more recognition

[wumpscut1]

@wumpscut1 i had one of those monster CD players that would burn holes in the disc if it skipped- vintage

[Hombre77]

One of the 90`s Best!!!!!

[DizzleHell]

great band... 

[cptgaryklein]

these guys were friggin awesome.

[dakotamanomgwtf]

Why are they considered a cult?

[Flealan]

@dakotamanomgwtf

When something is considered 'cult', it means it ahs a small yet very dedicated fan base.

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@Flealan aha! I see. Well that's cool, I guess that's the same with Psychotic Waltz then.

[sasarista]

destroyers of thrash metal

[BABU91100]

Thrash metal with turntables?! wow this is dope,

[PanterAmetal100]

my favorite mordred's song!!!

[imegatanadoiataki]

oh yeah

[Chris8nin]

thanks for the post zavlem. My cassette is worn out. LOL

[MrHelstar]

I remember these guys at the DYNAMO OPEN AIR festival so many years ago... Scott Holderby was painted blue. But it was a fantastic gig!

[portalsounds]

fuck yeah, bay area pioneers... before korn, deftones, or limp dick.. this shit was dope...best believe!

[metalgrungefan123]

sounds like pantera and iron maiden formed a supergroup and then got funky :D

[123deviousg]

Thank you for posting this, its been about 15 years since i heard it and its brought all the memories flooding back! Great band!

[dainkilljoy666]

i miss real music...I want my metal days back!!!!!

[GbEiRgOeK]

Good band but why did youtube put this in an autopsy mix?.. :X

[hopploponeus]

White solo is absolutely incredible !!!!!

[taziksawk]

this song kick ass!!!!!

[elkwoods06]

Another KICK ASS band from the Bay Area, Dam we had it going on lol...

[testchimp23]

@elkwoods06 Yes you did. I was lucky enough to be stationed at Moffet Field during the Bay Area Trash era.

[elkwoods06]

@testchimp23 I remember going to see Metallica then walk across the street to see Exodus and all for around $5.00, Those were the days !!!! 1982-86

[testchimp23]

@elkwoods06 My favorite was seeing Carcass, Pestilence and Death at the Omni.

[SHARDZ444]

this was WAAAAAAAY ahead of it's time!

[benzinsau]

One of the greatest album of this area- i love it- absolutely great !!!

[benzinsau]

One of the greatest album of this area- i love it- absolutely great !!!

[nanamano]

A class album that i've played to death, but never ever will i tire from it!

[thrasher123]

Loved this band back in the day. Fools Game was more thrash oriented but In this Life got the funk goin on which at the time was pretty bold! Does the solo section remind anyone of Epic FNM?

[sm0kenmirrhurz92]

@thrasher123 This band in general reminds me of a thrashier FNM. The vocalist not only sounds a lot but looks a lot like Mike Patton. No matter tho, they're both great bands.

[bekatt6]

A band ahead of the music trends ( limp bizkit, linkin park, and kid rock )

[webmasterflots]

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Anybody knows what James Sanguinetti is doing?

[chrisball808]

still remember when scott asked me for weed at the marquee club in london - those were the days

[fodenrecy]

saw them live in belfast in 91 ,the tshirt is well faded but just cant throw it out .

Awesome Album have it on cd and vinyl

on my ipod nearly 20 years on still sounds good

[ReverendIrreverent1]

Jim Sanguinetti!

It's me!

The IGO guy from XEROX.

Miss ya!

[rojnikus]

bigg time thing

[beercan75]

This is one of my all-time fave songs. So thankful I discovered this band.

[dirtboy896]

BEST SONG OF ALL TIME right here!

[Bastige56]

holy crap 157 commenst and hardly any commenst on any of their other albums. You guys need to go buy some albums.

[superjoint57]

Always thought this was a killer song! Gets better each time I listen to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonasbjarki]

i used to record videos from headbangers ball back in 1991 and that's where i first heard this song. i went out and bought the album (on cassette tape).

[pabl0100]

This adds another one to the list of songs that have sampled Big Beat by Billy Squier! Why has one bad song been sampled into so many other tracks, is it a joke or a competition or something?

[junkboy74]

Happy days. Still sounds great - these guys were real pioneers and opened up the minds of a lot of us metal dudes.

[vnz75]

Big band!!!

[toutankhamen]

thanx for the great memories .... always wanted to play that solo on guitar back in the days !!!! awesome =D

[TheSDH46]

cooler....sanguinetti...white

[manu01300]

one of the more underrated metal song!!-crazy solo!!!

[tosha82]

Fantastic, saw them in 91 supporting overkill, blew them away.

[pashquil]

i'm glad people remember this.for me it was like one of the best bandss ever

[blodiapunchingjin]

This puts the METAL in Funk Metal.

[endlessmonkeys]

Oh sweet god, I had absolutely forgotten about this band. I remember getting their first album and then this one came out with Bad Mutha Goose all over it. God this was an amazing album. Not bad for a bunch of skate punks.

[CadaverousLaceration]

Had this recorded on VHS, watched it till the tape fell apart back in '92!!!

[verminate]

fuckin' great band!!!....Love this album...

[visionthings]

To whoever posted this video: You rule. Always thought these guys were way ahead of their time and just a fine band. This is my fave song of theirs and I had no idea they had a video for it. Thank you!!

[metalAdeth101]

one of the best guitar solos in the world

[wilko188]

simply the fakin best!!

[webmasterflots]

Love this song! Love this song! Love this song!

[filthyrich7591]

i saw these live in the tivoli in buckley back in 1991 or 1992 they were wicked and thbis tune is spesh

[MissTrien]

they were way ahead of their time! this song still sounds great, even after all those years.

[rockapartie]

WAY ahead xD

damn, that solo is awesome!

[Xeper1979]

SHit how the fuck did these guys get by me

[theZodiacDigital]

sample from billy squire's "big beat"

[ccblapl]

That's a great tidbit! Thanks for that!

[DaBenMan4]

Aww fuck me i was gonna call my band mordred, guess these guys beat me to it XD

[e23slack]

This is one of those tunes that I will always love. Great lyrics, great guitar work what more do you need. Thanks for posting!!!!!!!

[ThrasherManiac69]

Amazing Funk/Thrash!!!

[sjgostovich]

Awesome song. .. cutting edge for the time.

[undead1512]

Superb track and gotta agree with 'thisisalreadytaken', the solo is fantastic !

Remember listening to this when I was about 16 yrs or something. Still sounds awesome.

[PepeRamonRodriguez]

Great musicians, to me this has alwas been the epitome of Funk-Metal. It's what i hoped RHCP would have sounded like back in the BSSM days, but didn't.

[dammitsthename]

with out going into detail, this song was a very influential part of my life in 1991. keep coming back because of that. great to see all the great comments. peace

[stoemp]

BRING THEM BACK!!!!

[thisisalreadytaken]

The guitar solo on this song is so AMAZING! One of the best solos

[takimeta]

The bassist, Art Liboon, is a former coworker and good buddy of mine. Thought, I haven't heard from him in a while. Hope you're doin' good, Art!

//tomasi

[audiolabguy]

These guys were almost TOO ahead of their time. If they had came in maybe 5 years later, they would have been given the type of credit that say a "Limp Bizkit" eventually received, IMHO.

[Diablocelt]

I agree,superb band that did not get the recognition they deserve.Was happy to hear they had kind of reformed but was not this line up ,and the new band and singer are horrible compared to this line up.Very sad :-(

[drjekyl]

The Mordred that reformed was the original version of Mordred. The band started back in 1983-1984 as a thrash metal band. This incarnation of Mordred (Art Liboon being the only member in the band from start to end) came much later.

[Diablocelt]

Sorry should have said the "Classic" line up which is what i call this.Cant say i hear much pre this line up and going by the reformation of the older one i can see why they didnt succeed and doubt they will.Wish this line up could reform.Either way this line up rocks (Sorry im confusing myself with this post as well as others) ;-)

[cptgaryklein]

these guys were friggin' awesome.

[blusennent]

A sadly underrated band, should have been a lot bigger than they were.

[ycicle]

Why is there no wikipedia entry for this band? If i knew what the hell i was doing i'd make one!

[webmasterflots]

Only a german version... Let me know what I should write about them and I can make an english article!

[HiFiApartment]

awesome band!

[Coryesp79]

It's just sad that the "world", meaning the MTV world and superficial assholes weren't ready for this style at the time this band came out, they should have been the biggest shit ever! Fuck em though, they are pioneers in their own right.

[111db]

I bought this cd the day it came out... incredible. Still love it to this day! Awesome live band!!!!

[doogz65]

late 80`s early 90`s was in my sad old opinion THE metal era!!

[pappachook]

Couldn't agree with you more Doogz65 so many great bands and much more inovative and less mass marketed than bands today.

[closelynibbledgrass]

@doogz65 bingo

[curioustongue]

@doogz65 .... Oh shut the fuck up. People like you make me fucking sick. Yeah, it was the fake, poser metal era. There is no "metal" era. But you think like that if you want. And please learn to form a cogent sentence; you opinion is neither sad nor old, it is just wrong.

[ShreddinThrash]

@curioustongue wtf are you talking about? Fucking raping the guy for stating that he likes the late 80's and early 90's. I happen to like that era too and im sure many others too. Because it is a good era for metal. Contrary to your pathetic belief.

[zgole]

Great memory, and great metal days.

[EmmySushanaCulley]

Awesome :) Thanks for posting this! Have a great day honey and thanks for subscribin and relieving my boredom lol x

[jllbuilderboy]

my mom use to hang out with this band

[JosephKuby]

Cool. Tell us some anecdotes. :D

[JLil]

Thank you soooo much for posting this! My dad put this on a mix tape off of Headbangers ball for me when I was like 11 or 12. This song rules!

[Cagueiro]

This song simply has one of the BEST&BEAUTIFUL GUITAR SOLOS EVER made!!!

Long Live Mordred...and those were the days, Yeahhh))))

[sasaue7]

True

[floydxpixie]

a nice blast from the past!

[n8vdude]

Shit this song reminds of the day when all the dudes had mullets. And it still sounds just as good as it did back then!

[Wacke666]

Gahaha! I was thinkin' of getting a mullet haircut (I'm an 80's/early 90's freak) back in the summer of 2007, but I never did. I'm glad for that, now I've got the same haircut as Scott Holderby and Mike Patton. Especially Mike's 1990-haircut (long hair with undershave). Long hair is for headbangers, Mordred is for REAL music lovers.

[whorechrist]

same, i remember this being premiered in UK on raw power, the only rock show we had and it was at 3.30am

[paolocito]

Holy mother fucker shit!!!! Last time I listened to this i was around 17! I'm 31 now. I love YouTube and the people who posts these wonders!!!

[eurologic]

fuck yeah dude I'm the same!!! Amazing album

[sonofject]

'and cut this cancer from my life!' one of the sickest eclectic bands from my neck of the woods--the thrashers live on!!!

[00MORDRED]

i seen these guys live at 7th street entry

the same night as the tyson fight...way back.

it was tight...

art laboon on bass....fuck yeah.

[Wacke666]

This one and Faith No More's "Epic" are my two favorite songs ... EVER!

[mattormeg]

Thanks for sharing this - love this track.

[gbruceisgod]

When this came out i was 17 and on the dole in Ireland. 55 quid a week. 20 to the mother, 10 in the Sound Celler for a new Album and 25 for a few drinks on Sat night. Happy Days!!!!

[Gathitus]

Gran grupo

[stuglue]

ive yet to see the Esse Quam Videri promo video on youtube anyone got it?

[Wacke666]

I've uploaded the song but it's only the audio. Don't have the video... :(

[EvilDead136669]

korn suck my nuts...

These guys rulez, Their Thrash/funk kick ass!!!

Thrash 'till Death...nü metal is dead...sixxx feet undergroud.

[glevitan]

best best best!!!! Still listen to In This Life to this day. The pinnacle of thrash!!!! never even saw this video WOW!!!!!!

[barneyfurlong]

Finally I see the video 17 years after it's release!(Never released in Oz,only "Everyday's A Holiday" was ever shown here,which gave everybody the misconception all their songs sounded like that.)Mordred were part of the 2nd wave of Bay Area Thrash Metal (their original singer used to weild a sword onstage!).But they branched off,like other SF bands Limbomaniacs;Faith No More;Death Angel;Blind Illusion etc.Definately ahead of their time.Early Incubus probably owes more to Mordred than Korn & LP

[KanuZankoro]

Funk metal; nice.

Reminds me a little of Mr. Bungle...

[lareconchadetum]

to me is more like faith no more,the real thing era

[Wacke666]

Agree. "Mother's Milk" by (the) Red Hot Chili Peppers is pretty similar to this too.

[KanuZankoro]

Dude that's my favorite album of all time there lol

And yeah, RHCP sound more like these guys than FNM does, FNM kinda sucks honestly...

but these guys rule, and now I know where I've heard a sound like this-ish before: Incubus on their SCIENCE album.

[mikkenen]

great band...this passes by so quick..i was 15 now 38 ..what a band...great talent...so deep..you were famous even in sicily (italy) guys...

[quietloudquiet]

Without getting too teary eyed, I thought the same thing. I have this album on vinyl! Awesome tunes, and written while Linkin Park were still shitting in the bath (and I don't mean Feb 2008).

[walt93077]

if any body has any more songs from morderd could you please post more songs from the better life album

[CreepIssUes]

This is like Thrash/funk metal, NOT Nu metal...

[Wacke666]

Exactly. Mordred's like a mix of Death Angel and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[danieljferret]

Just fucking awesome....Korn 'Godfathers of Nu-Metal' Fuck Off...It all started here....

[thegeniemusic]

Wow this is really old school, awesome I was a freshman in highschool and loved this song, the first time i heard scratching to thrash and it was so well done, the guitar solos are dope, props to my man DJ Pause on the turntables, real San Francisco underground, I wonder what happened to these guys, its so cool that you can find old lost memories like this on you tube

[stuboing]

has anoyne got the video for esse quam videri??

[heartbane2608]

my god..this one brings back memories...i love the ingenius solo...thx a lot for posting this masterpiece!!!

[nickotara]

cool tunes from so yay back

[angeldanzig]

wow i'd almost forgotten about this song. i had to hunt it down to buy it, found it at a record fare on yellow vinyl. Love the solo's. This was the first time i'd heard scratching over a meatal band i thought it was mad.

[stuglue]

Awsome band. I got the In This Live video converted to a DVD that a fan did ages ago. Great band.

[Wacke666]

Could you post it, please? I want it so bad but I live in Sweden...

[Johnny5liter]

ah a trip down memory lane

[kidda74]

Haven't heard these for years! sounds quite Anthraxy, yes/no?

[Wacke666]

It's like perfect late 80's / early 90's thrash with Faith No More influences. Great, I love it.

[SeanGoatboy]

Quality stuff. Nothing I haven't outside of what Faith No More did as far as genre-crossing, but still quality. Funny because vocally it's similar as far as the nasal high-pitched type...outside of the catchy simplistic DJ work, the solo part is excellent. Ear candy.

[4923931]

this is one of the bands that shoul've made it. faith no more's got nothing on these guys what r u taking about.

[hongo1313]

I got their first 2 albums, on tape. Did they ever make a third?

[kangiwiyaka]

I think they actually made 2 more ... one is called Vision, which is a great album, though not as heavy as the stuff before it. Haven't heard the one after that, but I've read they got a new singer.

[ElFred69]

the fourth was done with another singer, not bad but not as inspired as the first three albums. "Vision" is a mini album but really excellent in my taste. If you really like Mordred : try to get their home video : In This Live. It's pretty hard to find (only in VHS) but it's a must.

[Wacke666]

All of their albums:

1989 - Fool's Game

1991 - In This Life

1991 - Esse Quam Videri (Single)

1991 - Falling Away (EP)

1992 - Visions (EP)

1994 - The Next Room

+ 2 other EP's in '94 that I don't remember the titles of...

[eel4q2]

I still listen to this song it sounds awesome!

[Tentacleed]

Wow, an actual video clip, never thought they made any! Mordred, my favourite band of the 90s, such a talented bunch of musicians, they were really ahead of their time.

[DJRockboy]

They did make videos, i have a old video tape somewhere with " Everyday's a Holiday" on it, have to track it down & post it sometime. Havn't seen this though, awesome band! Thx.
