Essential Grindcore

[TheBahggs]

Im a tremendous grindcore fan and I was wondering what others thought about what the "essential" bands and albums of this genre are. I am already aware of such classic bands as Napalm Death, Carcass and Extreme Noise Terror.

I have a softspot for Pig Destroyer.

Which reminds me of Righteous Pigs. Another great band with one of history's best song titles, "I Hope You Die in a Hotel Fire".

Also, pretty much anything on To Live A Lie Records.

And for the record, this should be in Non-Metal because Grindcore=Punk.

The new Flagitious Idiosyncrasy album doesn't sound like deathgrind from samples. Yes, they have an actual ALBUM out, and on Bizarre Leprous Prod. to boot.

Check out the new Gridlink album.

Well, I haven't really been able to listen to their full length yet. I don't know if they're deathgrind per se, but they arn't just strait up grind really.

Also check out Cripple Bastards, Krupskaya, and Mesrine.

EDIT:
Lol at me, "STRAIT"

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

They're definitely a little off-kilter in more ways than one but the couple songs I heard from the LP (which I'm gonna buy, probably soon) were straight grind sounding.

 

[No Sign of Improvement]

I don't know, they are pretty straight forward grind, but some of their songs just feel a bit different to me. I was going to buy the new Gridlink as soon as payday rolls around actually. I've heard good things. And I still have to get my hands on This Comp Kills Fascists.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah I want it too but it's only like 10 minutes long Not really on topic here but if anyone remembers the Relapse Slimewave 7" series (of which I only have the Cripple Bastards/SCD original blue/white marble EP ), they're doing a CD comp of everything on all the 7" EPs PLUS extra songs. WILL BUY!

 

[tagradh]

Inhuuuuuuuuume.

I get the feeling you're cruising for a banning, brah.

 

[Base Delta Zero]

DRI's first two albums (although technically not grindcore) is essential listening for any grindcore fan.

Also, check out some powerviolence like Man is the Bastard, Capitalist Casualties and The Endless Blockade.
