Grindcore, or what?

I agree that LDoH are heaps better than CBT, but I wouldn't say they're completely the same style of grind - CBT is a lot more groovy with minimal blast beats, whereas LDoH is way more full-on, has much less groove and lots of blasts. Also, as far as lyrics/themes go, CBT is all about dirty sex and bondage (which is mainly why I put them under "porngrind"), LDoH is more about gore/death.

good point about the blastbeats.

I don't consider 'pornogrind' a genre though. fuck having a million different variations of grindcore.
 
Don't let your friends get away with that -- you're on target with the Repulsion and old Napalm Death call.

That guy with the Navajo Indian avatar is also right to say that grindcore and death metal are cousins that came out of the same seed circa 1985. On the one hand you got Napalm Death, on the other Morbid Angel.
 
A really good Grindcore band is Origin... you can hear them at various sites around the net... amazing band, and a fucking insane live performance
 
You don't think? Personally their songwriting skills are amazing, not to mention the technical aspects... but what would you call them if not Grindcore???
 
Well, for some reason that has become the general concensus amongst people who listen to grindcore, and where it stems from, but about 80% of the bands I have heard that call themselves Grindcore do not make claims to have little or no punk influence in their music, and it shows by the sound... But I could be wrong, I am not sure..
