Grindcore is a combination of
thrash metal,
speed metal,
hardcore
punk ,and
death metal. The genre is
typified
by atonal chromatic guitar riffs borrowed from thrash and speed metal and the
guttural growling vocals of death metal combined with the
hardcore punk
attitude. Its name comes from the grinding of simple chromatic guitar riffs and
melodies and the attitude of
hardcore punk.
One of the early innovators of grindcore was a British band
called Napalm Death
who did much to fuel the popularity of the genre. Focusing on subjects like
political unrest, hate and aggression this British band from Birmingham is
considered to be one of the founders
of the grindcore movement. Carcass from Liverpool, England is considered a major
inspiration for most grindcore bands covering subjects like death, politics, and
gore related subject matter before their dissolution.
Godflesh also from Birmingham combined industrial
influences together with grindcore releasing their
well received Streetcleaner and Stateslave albums before they too dissolved
their band.
Based in the underground grindcore is
alienated intentionally from the mainstream and is kept alive
by a small core group of diehard fans.
