Cheerleaders for Imperialism is a wonderful slab of powerviolence. Essential Hellnation material. Them, Black Army Jacket and Negative Approach are near the top of my list.

Weekend Nachos - Unforgivable. I cannot say go out and buy it, since most people I know like their PV raw and dirty - but I will say this belongs on the "worth looking into" list.

wouldnt call the new WN record pv really. more like dirty/heavy as fuck hc. pretty good album but i liked their older stuff a lot more...

Power Violence is a tough genre to get in, similarly to grind many bands jut churn out albums with 60 songs, and none of it could be too memorable. I haven't made too much progress into the genre, but the big names are all awesome, such as Infest, Spazz, Capitalist Casualties, Assholeparade, Fuck on the Beach, Mind Eraser, and Siege (if you wanna call them that...). For me it's an intimidating genre to get into. I'm still having trouble with Man is the Bastard, and i got a split for free of Harsh/Control Mechanism(Mikko from DsO, Fleshpress, and Clandistine Blaze's White Pride power violence band) which is pretty bad. While Charles Bronson's cool, they're a band that really has a tendency to create lots of pointless songs.

Check out the Blllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuurrrrggggggghhhhh releases, i found a lot of killer bands on them. One of my most notable finds id reccomend you are 'Lack Of Interest'. And another awesome band i heard on a complation cd were 'Chainsaw To The Face'. And Ive always really enjoyed 'Iron Lung' as well.



Thanks for saving me typing Gravemarker. I'll add a few more that i forgot last time that would suit this request. Pigtails for mexican Gut/TDEBN worship, Satan's Revenge On Mankind (TDEBN-style goregrind you'll either love or hate), and a bit more gore but still groovy as hell Hymen Holocaust, my favorite album being Blood Feast.

Agreed. The hip-hop samples used by some bands are annoying/detracting (cough, MITB) and yes, many bands just cram song after song onto their albums. Much like grind, it's about the whole experience, not individual songs - with the main difference being that PV sticks to the punk side of grind and is therefore inherently playful.

I still haven't heard a powerviolence band that matches the intensity of Crossed Out or No Comment. Mind you, there are still bands today that play good powerviolence, but so far these two bands still haven't been touched.

Have yet to check out Crossed out, but I wasn't too big a fan of No Comment. Asshole Parade captures the more punky/thrash side of things, as well as playful. Capitalist Causalities and MITB have that whole dismal vibe. I really like Spazz's playfulness and hiphop samples, i also love many of the band's flirtations with metal. Spazz samples Dethrone the Son of God, Asshole Parade pays tribute to CF with "re-Throned Emperor" etc. I downloaded a spazz discog, but lost it, but whilst listening i wish there was some guide to all the samples in the songs.

Disemebly Line is awesome though, but I feel No Man's Slave really makes the biggest impact outta a lot of them.

Hard to go wrong with Infest. I think you will enjoy Crossed Out, just based off your reasoning the for the other bands. They conveniently have a 2-disk discog that is in print so you don't have to go hunting down anything. They are like PV and thrashcore rolled up into a giant ball of punkish humor.

Speaking of grindcore, got my Rotten Sound fix today via The Arson Project - Blood and Locusts. 2008 was a better year for grind then I originally thought.

Sounds kinda like Dropdead, no? What I've heard from Dropdead is awesome, i'll be sure to check these two bands out more thoroughly.

Listening to Perth Express, Haven't listened to them in like 2 years, but anyone who's into Converge, Tradgey, Botch, or His Hero is Gone needs to listen to them. Their Discography is awesome, their last lp has been hard for me to get into.

i would def check out crossed out and dropdead based on what you said before...lack of interest would be a good bet as well.

also try
Apathetic Ronald Mcdonald (or AxRxMx as they're more commonly know)
DS-13
Final Draft (if you liked spazz you'll proly dig these guys)
Hummingbird of Death (sick newer band, catchy as fuck, drummer is nuts... i recommend "Diagnosis: Delicious")
I Accuse! (lots of punk influence, did a rad split with hummingbird of death)
Matka Teresa
Slight Slappers
The Ultimate Warriors (rad wrestling themed pv with grind/metal influence)

love me some pv

Is there any such thing as folkgrind? =b

If not can anyone recommend me some good deathgrind the likes of Carnal Decay?

Really digging Catheter's Preamble to Oblivion. Especially the occasional sections that sound Bolt Throwerish. I need to pick up Dimension 303 and see how it stacks up.

Any of you guys know a distro based out of the US that carries a fair amount of Japanese stuff? Most specifically I'm looking for 324, Swarrrm, and Unholy Grave, but if theres a place selling other Japanese stuff that I may not be aware of I'm still quite interested.

edit: I'm aware Crucial Blast has some Unholy Grave stuff. I plan on ordering the two cds when I get home today. I'm not happy with their prices, though, and most of their stock does not interest me at all.

Interpunk has a bunch of 7" and 12" Unholy Grave, two 324 CDs, the Hip-Cops/Gate 7" (Gate slays) and a shitload of other great Japanagrindation.

Good luck finding Swarrrm stuff, I'm quite a big fan and their stuff is hard to come by. I got their 10" split with Dilamea or something like that, it's pretty easy to find and is just alternate recordings (with a different singer) from Black Bong. As 206 said Interpunk ain't bad, also check out Relapse or Unrest Records (http://www.unrestrecords.com/).

324's 2 latest lps are easy to come by, check out ebay as well. happy to see a fan of Swarrrm, that band needs more attention so they can come to america.

Recommend me please fun/parody or upbeat brutal death/grind in the vein of Excrementory Grindfuckers.

I lately heard the finnish duo Cause For Effect. They play some kind of unique grind with only (undistorted) bass guitar, drums and growl-like vocals. And all the songs have a slight laid back feeling in them. Are there any other bands out there, playing this style of grind?

Good question. Who is the Gwar of grindcore? Most recently there is Birdflesh, who come close. From the past there is Anal Cunt.

How about this: Super Fun Happy Slide - The Undislogable Nugget Scenario. Definitely fun; it's not without a tinge of parody and it indeed grinds.

Thanks for mentioning these guys, really good stuff so far

I don't mind them, they aren't really my favorite Melbourne grindcore band by a long shot, However that album kicks fucking ass. Like you said, its a blast to listen to, but it's the killer production job that brings it home. I love how raw the album sounds, everything sounds like its been set on 'distort' and blends together so chaotically without turning into a mess of noise. Also Nik's is a killer vocalist with a great range (for grindcore), watch out for the new 'The Kill' album whenever it gets released. Seeing SFHS tomorrow night along with The Kill, Ignivomous and Cemetery Urn.

i second birdflesh. totally nasty raw grind with occasional dm and thrash parts. pretty much no serious lyrics whatsoever. The "Alive Autopsy/Trip to the Grave" cd that razorback put out is a good place to start.

This is more goregrind, but after a while I've finally got into Putrefaction in Progress by Last Days of Humanity. Anyone know any similar bands? I'm looking for short songs, with a fast pace.

Lol, there is this genre called grindcore....

Good grindy Powerviolence and grind bands I've discovered as of lately:

25 Dollar Massacre
Yacopsae
Tower Of Rome
Duke Nukem Forever
Jesus Crost

I'd check those bands out if you are into Powerviolence, or chaotic/tech grind

Tower of Rome's van broke down two days before coming to Seattle. Bastards.

Anyone have any recommendations for d-beat influenced grind, like the later Nasum or Sayyadina?

Seconded. Really fucking tasty, fun thrashcore. But,



What?

Anyway, can't beat a bit of Scholastic Deth. Bookworm powerviolence with a positive message. 'Final Examiner' is classic.

Also seconding all the old-school classics Infest, Spazz, Look Back and Laugh, Dropdead; with Crossed Out being an all-time favourite.

Iron Lung are really the only band still keeping their shit true.

So asking for LDoH-esque goregrind consisting entirely of microsongs results in sarcastic, condescending replies. Good to know.

Fuck them.

Looking for bands similar to A.S.R.A., who are unfortunatey now defunct. Particularly 'Pig Squealer' off the 'This Comp Kills Fascists' compilation. Groovy, although not overly, and with a nice emphasis on visceral high-vocals. Maruta and Wormrot are keeping me entertained in almost the same fashion but I wanted to see if there are any other more straight-up similarities in other bands.

No - asking for short songs with a fast pace gets sarcastic replies. I think the OP did not realize the irony in that little statement of his/hers...

ASRA broke up? The Way Of All Flesh was so fun. Guess they truly are punk, since only posuers stick around and milk the system

I would recognise the irony if I'd been asking for grindcore, but as you can see if you raise your eyes a little north, I started the post with "This is more goregrind". Not all goregrind has short songs.

That fucking sucks, they need to come to Spokane, closest place theyd come to from where I'm from. They're pretty chaotic

Well, despite most of LDOH's material "sounding the same" for most of their career, it does actually vary a lot. Yes, your request was pretty vague for a pretty common question that could have been sought out by going "north" on this thread no more than 3 pages and spending 5 minutes reading. This was your request:



If you can't see what's vague about it, you obviously have descriptive issues and i wonder if you struggle explaining yourself in day to day society. No one care's if your new to a genre and dont know much about it, people here are happy to help. Next time give people more to work with than just "I like album-X, what's else is like it?". You'll find just by simply reading over the thread what gets responses and what doesn't.

But anyway, have you heard any other LDOH albums at all? If not then i would definately reccommend their album "In Advanced Haemorrhaging Conditions", it runs about 8 minutes and has just about as many tracks and i think is their most over the top album. It definately fits your criteria. If you dont have money to spend on their back-catalouge, find yourself a copy and order their "Rest In Gore" 2-Disc set. It's comprehensive as hell! Great coverage and snapshot of their entire career. Then i suggest moving onto the side projects of LDOH members, Urine Festival, Tumor, Carnival Of Carnage are three bands i would 'guess' you would be interested in.

The best way to find new goregrind acts is do the 'myspace friends shuffle'. Yes, there is probably almost as many "short-songs with fast pace" goregrind bands out there nowdays, as there are grindcore.

I'm in Seattle so you should be more pissed than me - they broke down in Nampa, ID.

The difference is what, 30 seconds per song It's all good, wiggly took care of business for you.

Too vague. Is that all you've heard? Are you familiar with Gadget? Pre-"Murder Works" Rotten Sound? Does it have to be Swedish D-Beat or are you willing to explore?

Help us help you.

Can someone recommend to me some distinctly punkish/hardcore sounding Grind? I really hate those newer grindcore bands that sound like Death Metal. I 'd rather listen to Death Metal than those. I want something like Extreme Noise Terror, early Napalm Death, early Carcass - stuff like that. Bands that make you go - "Yeah, this definitely comes from punk".

I'll throw these two bands at you. The first is heavily influenced by all three bands era's you mentioned. And the second is more a spastic punk/hardcore band with epileptic grind influences.
