Metalcore, Grindcore, and the like

[bloodrayne]

Pig Destroyer has some kickass lyrics...It's just a shame that you can't hear any of them over the growling/screaming...and the shitty banging/"music"

[Arioch]

Agreed. Good lyrics, and some good guitar riffs, (at times) but it really leaves alot to be desired in terms of execution. Its a shame really.

Hardcore is not grindcore and hardly metalcore. I like grindcore and metalcore and hardcore.

I like the screaming and hardcore dancing is just FUN.

What do you consider to be any of these genres, by the way? (Hey, I like Dillinger Escape Plan!)

I'm a huge fan of grindcore... Cannibal Corpse, Cephalic Carnage, Anal Cunt, Anal Blast, Vomitorial Corpulence, The Berzerker, Mortician, Holocausto Canibal, Frightmare and tons more... I think anyone who takes the genre seriously needs to lighten up a bit. For many artists, it's a parody of death/black metal, and that's why it's layered in gimmicks.

Although if you do like it... www.mp3.com.au/kerbstomper has some of my world famous grindcore. Labelled "the worst shit in the world" by two members of this forums...

Well i used to be in a grindcore band before I joined the Army, I won't lie we were the typical Grindcore band, mostly, 30-60 second songs, My Band was called "Abortion With a Coat Hanger"

But i love grindcore and Hardcore, To me it just sounds sick, and after listening to it for a long enough time you start to actually understand what they are saying,

But i ain't gonna lie when i would play a show alot of the time i was so drunk i would forget my own lyrics so i would just growl and bark and make noise in the Mic

I think one of my Fav grind bands gotta be Charles Bronson, i think there mad good, and Hardcore bands it hard to say what my fav is specially since there is really no more "Hardcore" bands, shit most bands that people call Hardcore admit, there just plain old metal bands, Hardocre was just what people used to call Punk before they really knew what Punk was, Look at Bands Like DK, thats what people used to call Hardcore

. . . I love you! *kiss!*

Hardcore was derived of punk. It was 30 seconds to maybe even a minute sick, hard music, generally politically driven. It was not punk or the most part. Most of the "hardcore" bands around that are considered hardcore are just so NOT--they're more metalcore or black metal.

I was under the impression that Cannibal Corpse was death metal. Since they have been around WAY before any of the -core subgenres came out, and they actually have some melodic guitar parts...

Hardcore's been around since the 80's, which is not before Cannibal Corpse . . .as for the rest of it, I don't know. I do know that Cannibal Corpse is grindcore, probably one of the best known grindcore bands around.

Woo, I remember the first time I heard them. It's rather sweet, actually. I was in eight grade and absolutely adored this one boy and one day we were all sitting in a circle listening to music and he's like, "hey, what are you listening to?" and I'm all like, "60's hippie music!" and he's like, "Listen to this," and I did and his headphones smelt like him and at first I was like, "Oh wow, this is great," just to impress him . . . but after five minutes, I actually listened and really meant it when said, "This *really* is great!"

Ahh, such sweet music to bond to! I credit him for my interest in hard music.

Thank you, Jonathan, where ever you are.
