The Grindcore Thread

DAT BASS. DOES DOWNTUNED GUITARS.

Holy shit, Grindcore where have you been all my life?

Why can't all grindcore be this good?

for sure man. just went through the grind section (man lots of crucial stuff missing!) and rated a bunch of it, some of the ratings are pretty mind-boggling. the inalienable dreamless by discordance axis at like 1.83 or something, wtf???? i also play in a band, we're releasing an LP soon and doing a big US tour, check it out:

also forgot a crucial addition to the above post. given that this site spawned from a prog rock forum i think anybody on here into grindcore at all will absolutely love this band:

yes that's a 10 minute grind song.

play fast or die.

Well, I just made Nasum's Shift the number 1 grindcore album here.

Yes, Exhumed was in Bad Berka instead of Schlotheim at the time they had to play haha.

I liked the new album and enjoyed seeing Exhumed live about a month ago, but they didn�t blow my mind or anything like that. Solid performance of a pretty one-dimensional backcatalogue.

Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE!
UMUR on RYM

I have Exhumed's Slaughtercult on CD. I'm at a loss as to which song to upload to here. Any requests?

I have not listened to a lot of Grindcore and I am not so familiar with this genre. Are Electro Hippies considered Grindcore. I read that they play Crustcore. Does Kataclysm's song Sorcery fall under Grindcore?

Give me an acoustical example of:

1. Grindcore

2. Crust Punk/Crustcore/Crustgrind

3. Deathgrind

4. Goregrind

5. Mathcore

Electro Hippies are a crust/punk band. They certaintly influenced grindcore, but they aren't grindcore.

That Kataclysm song sounds like death metal. Never thought of them as a grindcore band either.

1. Grindcore

Many people hate grindcore bands tendency for obnoxiously short songs, but I love them.

It's still pretty hard to tell the line between grindcore,crustcore, and some hardcore. Venomous Concept is one of those bands that people seem to think they are a hardcore band with grindcore influence, or they are a grindcore band with hardcore influence. I personnally think they are grindcore.

2. Crust

Crust grew into grindcore, and there are some bands that fit both genres.

3. Deathgrind

Takes the riffs more common to Death Metal and pairs them with the more grindcore like blast beats and the occasional grindcore riff, and generally the the growls are more death metal like. The song length also tends to be more "normal" lenght as opposed to the 1/2 minutes blasts.

4. Goregrind is pretty much deathgrind with a fixation of being as nasty and sick as humanly possible. I tend to not like these bands as much even if they are tongue in cheek. Normaly the vocal style is more of the gurgle sound too.

Rather appropriate video.......

5. Mathcore

Really isnt in the same sphere as grindcore, and they tend to have more in common with deathcore/metalcore bands than grindcore, even though there are some bands that do mix the lines between the two. The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza is listed here under grindcore, as is The Red Chord, but I have never thought of them as grindcore bands, and always thought of them as mathcore.
