Slate me if I'm being pedantic, but aren't Napalm Death, Bolt Thrower and Carcass grindcore bands? Certainly ND have very different content, and frequently sound, to most death metal bands I know of, more punk than metal (can I do the sub-genre pedantry thing on here?). Probably my favourite heavy band.
Apparently Dying Fetus are, or were, politically motivated, and looking at some of their lyrics this seems to be the case, however I found it kind of hard to work out in which direction they lean. Think one of them's in Misery Index now, who absolutely kick ass (not sure if they're DM though), or am I mistaken?

Been enjoying Hate Eternal's stuff recently, heavy duty.
