Powerviolence has been pretty hit-or-miss with me, but when they throw in enough grind, it's the ****. Nails, Magrudergrind, and now Yacopsae are all on my list of bands that are ****ing awesome sauce!

Brutal Truth seemed to have achieved the impossible and made grindcore even more unlistenable. Awesome.

So, to be considered metal these days does it have to include Cookie Monster vocals?

Serious question.

Is this metal?

Of course not.







Sure.

Belgium seems to have had a pretty righteous metalcore scene back in the day.

Yeah, I know powerviolence is not technically metal, but the punk version of this thread is dead and more people would care in this thread than the general one.

Anyway, not sure how I feel about it to be honest. I'm still new to liking grind-type ****, and the more unlistenable aspects of the sound still go by in a blur that I can't really take in.

And yet I find myself gravitating to the more chaotic, unmusical groups maybe even more than the more death metal influenced groups, at least for the moment. Powerviolence is perhaps still a bit much for me, but more and more I find myself turning to it and grindcore that's more on the PV side for no reason that I can quite figure out. It's more intense in general, but I'm not so much listening to it as there's some part of my brain not entirely connected with conscious thought that's finding an undefinable satisfaction in it.

Nails and Magrudergrind seem to have been my gateway bands -- BTW, what's with PV bands and often having one song on their albums that is like primitive, mid-paced sludge/doom? -- and now Combatwoundedveteran, Yacopsae, and -- within the past half hour -- Charles Bronson, are absolutely ruling my eardrums. These not as accomplished as Nasum or Rotten Sound, don't sem to take what they're doing particularly seriously, and don't have much in the way of accessible riffs like Terrorizer or Insect Warfar, but they're just so ****ing intense that anything else is just a step down when I'm in the mood for aggressive guitar music that's just completely unmusical without being dissonant in an avant garde way (like Gridlink or post-Need to Control Brutal Truth I guess).

P.S. WTF is the difference between non-deathgrind grindcore, crust punk, thrashcore, and powerviolence?
