From Wikipedia:
Mordred is an American funk metal/thrash metal band based in the San Francisco Bay Area. They released three studio albums and one EP from 1989 to 1994. In this finve years span, they showed an interesting inventivity in the wake of fusion genre. If "Fool's game" (1989) meets the Bay Arena thrash spirit, with some scratches parts, the later "The Next room" feels more like a Faith No More album than anything else. That may be the reason why they didnt meet the full success they may have deserved and split in the row.
