It’s like a steamroller running through your brain
Grindcore RIFF is completely messy, with repeated and overlapping noises without seeking neatness; the arrangement is chaotic and the effects are thick, making it sound very chaotic. It's hard to hear their RIFF clearly, unlike metal music. You can't expect to find any melody in this kind of music. Of course, the early GRINDCORE sound was not very heavy, and Napalm Death’s early stuff couldn’t be considered heavy at all. Generally speaking, the technology of grindcore is much lower than that of metal, because the origin of CORE music comes from PUNK. Bass is generally used There is a lot of distortion, and the effect is slimy and very thick. However, I have also heard a Finnish color grinder that has no bass at all.
I feel like grindcore drums are just one word. --'Scatter', I once said that the small drums of Cruel Death are shot at one place with a machine gun, while the grindcore is shot with a shotgun. GRINDCORE's drumming is jumping, while BRUTAL DEATH's drumming is continuous. In addition, grindcore drums are chaotic, while metal drums are grainy. Many modern grindcores are made with drum machines, which can speed up the speed, but if not done well, it can easily make people feel rigid.
As for the lead singer, grindcore doesn’t just use a water hose or a whistle. Death uses beastly roars. This cannot be generalized. In new-school brutal death, most bands use water pipes. There are also many beastly roars in grindcore. You can listen to Brutal Truth’s first album Extreme Conditions Extreme Demand Responses, Kevin Sharpe uses beast roar.
In addition, there are often many samples, noises, experiments, electronic samples, etc. in grindcore. Of course, there are also those pornographic film samples in porn grind.
Grindcore music is relatively short, ranging from a few seconds to 2 or 3 minutes.
The styles of grindcore are divided into fast grindcore (FAST/SHORTCUT GRIND), chaotic grindcore (CRUST/VIOLENCE/POWER GRIND), bloody grindcore (GORE GRIND), and pornographic grindcore (PORN GRIND). , humorous grindcore (FUNNY GRIND), electronic grindcore (CYBER/TECHNO GRIND), toilet grindcore (TIOLET GRIND/****CORE), noise grindcore (NOISE GRIND), death grindcore (DEATH GRIND), rock GRIND ROLL. You can probably think of their themes when you look at the names of these styles. Grindcore is generally not serious enough, and often has humorous and funny elements.
Some friends distinguish grindcore from the album cover: "Although the death is bloody, it is not BT. There are rarely dismemberment, corpse rape, etc. It is different. Death grinding It’s usually hard to see a complete corpse on a cover, either with a head or a head missing. The cover of Shit Nian is basically pornographic. I’ve seen a few covers of Shit Nian bands, and I’m amazed by them. I don’t want to watch it anymore. I can’t even eat. People’s bodies are covered with the stuff we excrete when we defecate. Death usually doesn’t have a cover like this.” Moreover, pornographic grindcore and humorous grindcore sometimes do. There are cartoon covers.
