Grindcore is a controversial type of tumult music that has been around since the 1980’s. It combines a malestrom of barbarity musical elements from the darkest corners of heavy metal and hardcore punk, resulting in a unique sound that is both aggressive and mentally healing. The genre was first popularized by bands such as England’s Napalm Death, and Carcass, and Flint, Michigan’s Repulsion, all who greatly shaped and defined what the influential early days of the grindcore genre would stylistically become.

At its core, grindcore is all about speed and intensity. The fast-paced blast beats and guitar riffs are often accompanied by screamed or growled vocals, making for a frenzied listening experience. Lyrics tend to focus on themes such as social injustice or political turmoil, adding to the overall sense of anger and aggression. Despite its relatively niche appeal, grindcore has had an undeniable impact on the wide range of genres within heavy metal. Its influence can be heard in everything from black metal to death metal, as well as other subgenres such as metalcore, powerviolence and crust punk.
