The Grindcore Thread

Squash Bowels' debut cult album will be rereleased on CD this year (maybe it's already out) - has anybody heard it?

They're supposed to be a legendary grindcore act. I've heard the album now, and it's interesting but nothing I'll listen to extensively again.

I was positively surprised by the "Fear"-EP by Dead in the Dirt, though. I've also just heard the new Kataplexis/Breathe Knives split. There's some interesting experimentation with noise on it, and a funny trmix of a microsong called "Fuckguy", but other than that it doesn't really appeal to me.

Grindcore is pretty much my favorite metal subgenre. But I don't like 70% of punk bands. Idk.

Awesome!

We definitely have a shortage of grindcore fans over here. Thumbs Down

I seem to have noticed

. There is a LOT of grind bands absent from the grindcore section.

I do like having 4 Anaal Nathrakh releases in the top grindcore albums list on here. Wink

. They are really good though, just not quite THAT good.

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.

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

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

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

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