grindcore #14 | tl

Grindcore is a fast, dissonant, extreme style of music that typically fuses crust punk with thrash metal and the fastest, most vicious varieties of hardcore. Songs are high-tempo, short, with low-tuned guitars, blastbeats, and vocal styles which range from yelling, to low-pitched growls, to high-pitched shrieks. The guitar style tends to have punkier scuzzy chord riffing than the cleaner, more technical and precise death metal-grindcore/deathgrind fusion that came later.

Incorrectly, many "heavy" sounding bands will often get labeled as Grindcore. Usually Grindcore has a raw -- fast sound in which the riffs "grind" into each other. .
