Murmaider

Murmaider is a song by Dethklok.

History
The song was recorded deep within the Mariana Trench for the album Dethwater. When Dethklok showed the song to producer Dick "Magic Ears" Knubbler, he was literally blown away by the song.

Dethklok eventually wrote a sequel to Murmaider called "Murmaider II: The Water God". It was also recorded in the Mariana Trench. Both songs were put onto Dethwater.

While Murmaider was released on The Dethalbum, Murmaider II was not. This is because in real life, Murmaider II was written after Season 1 finished. Instead, it was released on the Dethalbum II.

In 2009, the song was included in the video game Brütal Legend.

Lyrics
''There are no fingerprints deep underwater  Nothing to tie one to a crime  And if you seek vengeance  All you need are instruments of pain ''

''You need your ''

''Knives? Check  Rope? Check  Dagger? Check  Chains? Check  Rocks? Check  Laser beams? Check  Acid? Check  Body Bag? Check ''

''Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider ''

''But beware  For when you quench your blood thirst  Others will seek their vengeance on you  And they won't rest until you're dead ''

''They'll have their ''

''Shiv? Check  Pipe? Check  Hammer? Check  Axe? Check  Subject? Check  Location? Check  Desire? Check  Vengeance? Check ''

''Hold your breath, swim and strain  The smell of death, can't escape  Blood will cloud and drift away  Attract the murders of mermaids  It's so cold they all know  What you've done, you can't run  Vengeance is the law for thee  A thousand leagues below the sea ''

''You've been tracked, you've been seen  Murdering the next kin  Ate their hearts,drank their blood  Washed your fins in blackened mud  Now you swim try to hide  Heart beats faster from inside  Thought it was a big charade  Your life was ended by mermaids ''

''Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider  Murmaider ''

''Swords? Check  Saws? Check  Clubs? Check  Claws? Check  Hatred? Check  Anger? Check  Mermaid? Check  Murder? Check ''

Music video
A music video was made, and released with the Season 2 DVD of Metalocalypse.

The story's protagonists are multiple killer mermaids. The video starts off with the mermaids attacking a cluster of fish eggs guarded by centaur-like beings with crablike legs. The mermaids kill all of the guards and destroy the eggs, then move on. As they are swimming, the antagonist, a red-skinned mermaid, arrives and murders all of them except for a young child. The video then cuts to Dethklok performing the song in water tanks similar to the one Toki was put into. Later, it goes back to the sole surviving mermaid, now an adult, who arrives and does battle with the red-skinned mermaid.

The video puts emphasis on the numerous weapons/emotions listed in the lyrics that Nathan says "check" after.

The video for Murmaider was also released with the deluxe edition of the Dethalbum II. It was also released onto Dethklok's official YouTube channel; however, it, along with the video for "Thunderhorse", was taken off due to nudity, as the mermaids in the video are all topless, although it is still available for viewing on YouTube due to other users uploading the video.

Trivia

 * BATMETAL RETURNS Russian animation studio Red MEDUSA, which has gained attention in the fandom with a Face Fisted-persiflage, released a parody sequel by the name of BATMETAL RETURNS on its YouTube-channel 'ArhyBES' in September 2015 using Murmaider as the core song and theme. In the same style as its predecessor, the video is about Batman saving Aquaman from the Little Mermaid and SpongeBob SquarePants.
