The Batlord Reviews Ten Grindcore Albums In Less than a Minute Each
Leng Tch'e - Man Made Predator (2003)
Low class deathgrind for those looking for grind but don't REALLY like grindcore. Heavy death metal influence with some catchy as ****, groovey riffs that just destroy.
Elapsed time: 51 seconds
Phobia - Cruel (2006)
More trashy deathgrind, but these dudes are punk as ****. They don't give a **** about making grind accessible to the idiot masses. These dudes ****ing slay. "Death to False Punks" like a mother****er.
Elapsed time: 50 seconds
Nails - Abandon All Life (2013)
Badass as ****ing grindcore/powerviolence. Raw as a mother****er, but they drop down and play some heavy, sludgy hardcore that just beats you into the ****ing ground. 17 minute album, dudes. **** yeah.
Elapsed time: 53 seconds
Gorerotted - Only Tools and Corpses (2003)
Catchiest deathgrind ever. Awesome tongue-in-cheek gore lyrics, hilarious rhyming/alliterative song names, badass everything, ****, I think I only had two things to say. Gorerotted rule!
Elapsed time: 57 seconds
Repulsion - Horrified (1989)
Dude, do these guys even write songs? Or do they just start punching their instruments and hit "record"? So much energy and badassery. Repulsion are the ****ing **** even if/because they sound like ****.
Elapsed time: 42 seconds
Gridlink - Longhena (2014)
Dude, this **** is beautiful. It's intense and ****ed up as any grindcore out there, but those guitar lines are ****ing soundscapes. How is it possible to make grindcore sound pretty? Gridlink, that's how. Gods.

Napalm Death - Scum (1987)
First half kind of awesome. Second half less so. Overrated.
Elapsed time: 15 seconds
Terrorizer - World Downfall (1989)
All deathgrind is just playing catchup to this brilliance. Fun, catchy, and brutal as ****. Love these dudes. Easily the best old school grind band. Bar ****ing none.
Elapsed time: 38 seconds
Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness (1989)
Also kind of overrated, but still badass. Possibly too complex for their own good considering they're playing ugly ass deathgrind, and it kind of gets in the way of the brutality, but they would clearly turn that into something more in a few years.
Heartwork was the best though.

Swarrrm - Black Bong (2007)
WTF Japan? Why can't you ever be normal? Music is insanity. Not even sure it's grind sometimes. Sometimes it's definitely not. Vocalist sounds like a ranting crazy person. I'm not sure if I love these dudes or I'm just constipated.
