Grindcore

Grindcore is an extreme rock subgenre that fuses hardcore punk’s breakneck intensity with metal’s crushing riffs, blistering blast beats, and guttural vocals. Born in the mid-1980s underground scene with pioneers like Napalm Death and Terrorizer, it’s defined by lightning-fast tempos, abrasive noise elements, and fiercely political or socially conscious lyrics. With its DIY ethos and boundary-pushing sound, Grindcore continues to shape modern extreme metal, noise rock, and experimental music worldwide.
