Nasum and Rotten Sound are mandatory grindcore if you ask me. A less important but equally awesome band is Deathbound who sounds very similar to Rotten Sound. Anybody know anymore bands who sound like those crazy finns?

I would recommend a relatively unknown Finnish band called Feastem to anyone with a taste for grindcore, primitive, simple riffing and absolutely fucking furious vocals - excellent stuff.

Malicious Hate has been grinding it up since the 80's. www.myspace.com/malicioushate

Can anyone reccomend me some melodic death/grind similar to Fuck the Fact's "Disgorge Mexico"?

Fuck the fact's Stigmata High Five ?

yea there hasnt been any melodic grindcore bands I have heard. I'm sure theres a band that takes melodic crust influence and may employ it. Exhumed is the only band that might come close on Matter of Splatter but it's nothing like FtF. Imagine a grindcore band with Intestine Baalism leads though

Hmm, I've never listened to Intestine Baalism. I'll check 'em out after I'm done watching a Kill the Client live set on YouTube.

EDIT: I think I need to form a band now.

These guys aren't too bad. Thanks for sharing.

Regurgitate's "Deviant" reminds me a lot of Rotten Sound and Nasum. Afgrund is Nasum worship, which you may enjoy.

you mean power violence? I can recommend you shit-tons. its non-metal, though.

Black Army Jacket
Spazz
Infest
Ultimate Warriors
Yacopsae
Despise You

Patareni is pretty close if you ask me.

Am I alone in thinking of Master as a deathgrind band?

Technically speaking, so is Grindcore.

Grind has a healthy amount of death/trash metal influences. Powerviolence is essentially grindcore minus those influences. That's probably an oversimplification though.

incorrect. power violence is basically grindcore minus the death and thrash metal influences.

There is so much of grindcore, powerviolence, deathcore, metalcore that they should have been divided in the first place.

I know too many grindcore fans who dislike the other 3 with a passion.

That and it seems that many a deathcore band/fan say they are grindcore.

Ignorance leads to the overlaps. when in fact they are very different.

For some great grind check out Phobia.

off topic: Disfear rules.....

Anything along the lines of Extreme Conditions Brutal Truth, Insect Warfare, new Napalm Death or the new Antigama? A mix of those or anything resembling one of those that kicks ass? I like it when there are slow, more "groovy" passages - read new Napalm Death, old Brutal Truth - and there's some sort of oppressive mood. Anything sick sounding like old Carcass would be nice too.

I'm not sure what powerviolence is, and I've always thought that it was synonymous with grindcore.

already familiar with Black Army Jacket, Closed Casket is a good album. I'll check the others out, thanks.



So that's what it is.



I've always thought of Master/Death Strike to be punky death metal.

A friend of mine loves Cock and Ball Torture. One of her favorite bands. I just don't get it. Not very metal in my opinion.

Anyone looking for great grindcore should check out Necrony.

As far as I know powerviolence came to life when in the early nineties the hardcore punk scene 'took back' grindcore to the roots a.k.a. Siege especially and some earlier stuff like Negative Approach. death- and thrash metal riffing were left out and breakdowns became a major aspect compositionally.

Of course I always start advising the early grindcore bands like Napalm Death, Genocide/Repulsion, S.O.B., Xysma, Terrorizer, Agathocles, Fear of God (Swiss), Blood. As far as new stuff goes, most bands just annoy me. Not that they're all 'bad' but most are just copying the old ones and especially the goregrind scene is flooded with generic crap i.m.o. Also productional values these days have become too heavy and the music itself either too organised or 'blind'. Nasum and Haemorrhage being two exceptions.

However, Extreme Noise Terror are not grindcore. One of the key-elements of grindcore is blast speed drums which are totally absent on old E.N.T. They play 78rpm D-beat which dynamic vocals which people normally would call crustcore, not grindcore.

Again, I must recommend Ghoul's We Came for the Dead. Although they focus almost exclusively on slow, downtuned grooves, The Day Everything Became Nothing aren't bad either. Try Le Mort.



Not bad. Songs are a tad short though. Nice vocals. Remind me of Tom Lindberg's vocals off Slaughter of the Soul except a little stronger.

Rare little gem from Tasmania - Three Victims. Seen these guys 3 times live, and they fucking shred. Guitar wise they grind the hell out all their riffs that are take a strong Death influence. Primarily riffs are based around faceshredding death-metal and brutal mid-fast paced slams, and throw in some touches of old school and tech death here and there. Insane fucking drumming: brutal, fast and groovy as hell. I've got their demo of their only release, and is by far one of my favorite grind releases. If anyone is interested in hearing it, PM me.

Sounds pretty sweet. Throw something my way?

@Dbettino: Yes, I think so...
@wetPussy: by that you mean the 'happy' polka beat of their early works? I can imagine so when hearing more recent albums like The Spirit of the West with songs like 'Another Day in Phoenix'

I've only heard the early Speckmann albums and Master's latest, Slaves to Society. Haven't heard that album you mentioned. The riffage on Fuckin' Death, Unreleased 1985 album and Master has the punky revolving circular feel along with the polka beats, which gives the punk/crossover vibe.

Ghoul is really good, as far as the other band goes, its not band but, theres actual vocals to be found and like it that way.

Evil_Johnny_666...Check out:
Regurgitate - Effortless Regurgitation Of Bright Red Blood

Reek of Putrefaction worship.

And really:
Xysma - Above the Mind of Morbidity
Haemorrhage - Grume

xD Those vocals can be a bit too much for me as well. But yes, Ghoul is awesome. ROT GUUUUUUT!!!!!

I also thought of Ghoul as the Municipal Waste of Death metal. Just fun to listen to and probably awesome live show.

Check out this thread from my old forum:

http://www.phride.com/index.php?showtop ... =0&start=0

http://www.smnnews.com/board/showthread.php?t=192108 is also a good link for some bands. I skimmed through it a couple times

Since you're from UAE you hear of Creative Waste? Great grindcore from Saudi Arabia

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=48484

Yep, of course! There aren't many good bands here so when a good one pops up, it's quite memorable.

Additionally:

Charles Bronson (their entire discography is availabe as a 2 disc set, through some punk mailorders/online)
Agoraphobic Nosebleed (their music varies from release to release, they are grindcore with very heavy influence from powerviolence) - check out Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope as well as their early compilation Bestial Machinery, and the split with Insect Warfare if you like them.



Powerviolence is pretty much the punk side of grindcore, very aggressive punk.



C&BT always seemed like a gimmicky band to me, or perhaps like a Carcass cover band of 12 year olds. The music sounds like mediocre punk riffs tuned down, some drum fills, and pitch-shifted vocals to compensate for a lack of ability, nothing appealing in the band at all.

and Drop Dead

Not to mention Crossed Out and Magrudergrind

What do you guys think about Trap them? I'm hopefully going to be seeing them live with Napalm Death and Toxic Holocaust if my exam schedule doesn't mess it up. Liking what I hear right now

Ghoul wins endlessly, I loive these guys! I'm a fan of Lord Gore and Frightmare as well from that label.

Trap Them=Nasum+Dismember. So yes, I like them.

i Personally don't like them but i've heard that Carcass is a good grindcore band

Did you ever hear of this underground band Iron Maiden? They play some good old school hard-rockin' stuff. Check 'em out.
