the grindcore thread

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

Regurgitate suck, IMO.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Squash Bowels, Nasum, Brutal Truth, NAPALM DEATH, older Carcass, Pig Destroyer, Cock and Ball Torture, R.C.B. (fucking incredible of course), The Number Twelve looks like you, The Locust (I personally know the last two bands so...)

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

I thought grindcore was a subgenre associated with punk music

 

[LivingCadaver]

I'd say grindcore is like an extreme form of death metal mix with punk. Power violence would be an extreme form of hardcore which come from punk. Both sound fairly similar. It's all a matter of perception...

 

[DarkBliss]

I haven't really gotten into grindcore, but I do like goregrind.

I don't quite understand the difference between the two. Isn't it just like grindcore but with gory lyrics?

 

[LivingCadaver]

the vocal aren't the same. goregrind vocal = you'd think he's singing with his ass...

 

[DarkBliss]

Haha, nice distinctive characteristic

 

[cookiecutter]

I prefer the gurgling to the shouting

Goregrind often has pitch-shifted vocals and there usually isn't as much of an emphasis on speed and racing to the end of the song. That is, there's more mid-tempo riffing (see: Bile, Rompeprop, CBT, etc.).

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Repulsion
Terrorizer
(early) Napalm Death
Despise You
Anal Cunt
(early) Carcass
Disrupt
Fuck... I'm Dead
Birdflesh

All good stuff

 

[LivingCadaver]

I also would like to add Assuck, their "misery index" album fucking rules!

Goregrind is heavy death metal styled music with a definite grind feel, but without much punk influence at all; in that way, it is more "metal" than true grindcore. It also does not require gore themes, though...for instance Squash Bowels - The Mass Rotting...The Mass Sickening has (despite the title) almost no references to gore at all.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I think goregrind is an unnecessary term. If it's death metal with grind infuences it's still death metal. If it's grindcore with death metal influences it's still grindcore.

 

[cookiecutter]

It's easier to say goregrind than "death metal with grind infuences". It's not as if it's some tiny genre with a few bands.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Or you could just call it death metal and not mention the grind influence part. I think a lot of "goregrind" bands have more in common with grind than death metal anyway.

But then it would be a poorer description than goregrind, hence why people use genre titles like that.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I just don't prefer to use the label. Usually goregrind bands lean closer to either death metal or grindcore which is what I prefer to label them.

 

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

Death metal with grind influences is deathgrind.

Goregrind is more brutal sounding and has an often very dark sound.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

I love me some Grindcore. Some favorites include:

Repulsion
Terrorizer
Anal Cunt
early Napalm Death
early Carcass
Pig Destroyer

I can't stand Brutal Truth though.

I think deathgrind has more in relation with old school death metal while goregrind has more in relation with brutal death metal in most cases.
