San Francisco-based band mixing thrash, funk and rap. Emerged in the mid-1980s, released Fool's Game (1989), In This Life (1991), Vision (mini-LP) and The Next Room (1994); disbanded after the latter and reunited for concerts in the 2000s.

Associated with Noise Records (mentioned in reviews). Key members mentioned in reviews include vocalists Scott Holderby and Paul Kimball, guitarist James Sanguinetti, bassist Art Liboon and DJ Aaron "Pause" Vaughn. Part of the Bay Area scene and noted for blending thrash with funk and rap elements.

DeBaser reviews highlight Mordred's hybrid of thrash, funk and rap across releases from the late 1980s to 1994. Critics single out 1991's In This Life as the compositional peak. The Next Room is read as the band's swan song; Vision and Fool's Game show the band's evolution. Reviews note lineup and vocal changes and praise DJ Aaron "Pause" Vaughn's contributions.

For:Fans of Bay Area thrash, listeners of crossover/funk metal and 1990s alternative metal collectors.

 The album "The Next Room," released by Noise in 1994, the same year as the release of Machine Head's "Burn My Eyes," is their swan song, the exemplary farewell to their fans and the mass of indifference to their musical proposal.

 A laborious, heartfelt, unpretentious, almost perfect album, with some smudging in the last songs, but on the other hand, you cannot ask for more from this thrash-funk lab that Mordred is.
