What is the difference between power violence and grindcore

Post hardcore with a ton of post-punk and metal influence. Really great stuff. I really like the debut EP "Chaos is me" by Orchid, released in ; anyone into some screamo probably knows it already, but it really blends well into grindcore and poweviolence.

Any recommendations? Posted: Mon Apr 22, pm. Posted: Tue Apr 23, pm. Posted: Wed Apr 24, am. DeathcoreDecimator wrote: Can someone help me or can we possibly have a discussion of the difference between powerviolence, grindcore, crust, and neocrust?

Power Violence stems from hardcore punk and grindcore. While both hardcore and grindcore carry many similarities, we can agree that hardcore is more punk oriented than grindcore. In this way, in some kind of spectrum, picture power violence in between hardcore and grindcore. Of course it's a bit subjective, but Infest is a pretty good example of when hardcore punk becomes power violence where as older Magrudergrind is a good example of when grindcore becomes power violence.

Crust is a dirtier, rawer, stripped down style of hardcore punk that stems from Discharge and very often can flirt with grindcore or metal. Solidy punk unlike power violence, crust relies on typical power chord riffs, and d-beats. Typically anarchism, veganism, squatting, and other ethos are extolled by the classic crust bands that run in the vein of Doom or Nausea. Calling His Hero is Gone crust can be a bit misleading, I think of them more as a hardcore band, but there goes subjectivity for you.

Both Crust and Power Violence bleed into a lot of genres. Power Violence has always flirted with harsh noise and sludge. Crust recently has been mixing around with black metal. It's easier to say Doom is a quintessential crust band and Infest is a quintessential power violence band rather than list object traits. As for Beatdowny Entombed-core bands, it's a bit artificial as it's really attention to production and guitar tone, especially in the case of Nails and Xiliabamaanananawana.

Quote: While both hardcore and grindcore carry many similarities Also, Hardcore is a very diverse style, and I don't think it has much at all in common with Grind on that basis What I mean to say is, HC is made up of a whole a lot more than it's few most aggressive bands like Siege. BTW, every developed genre has a subculture, and every subculture has uniforms "looks" as far as I can tell.

Even a lot of PV bands have some "typical" fashions. Same with Crust BTW, everything I've said in this post should be taken with a grain of salt, even though it's all true I like all these genres, TBH Skip to 19 seconds. Shit b cray. I think he might be the Yngwie of live Harsh Noise performance.

Posted: Wed Apr 24, pm. Dude Man is the Bastard totally flirted with harsh noise and power electronics. Hell some of their releases are power electronic stuff. PV needs to have an outside influence to be PV, whether it be grindcore, sludge, noise, death metal etc.

I guess I'm just a snob lol. Love crust and d-beat and stuff but I hate junkies. My friend's band was supposed to do a split 7" with Hellbomb from Syracuse but their drummer does heroin so their doing a cassette.

They recorded like over a year ago and my friend has been in this band for like 6 years and they have never recorded anything. Birth Deformity didn't even play. It often relied heavily on extremely dark satire, making light of many things that other hardcore bands took far more seriously.

The split contains all of the classic powerviolence trademarks, with no song clocking in over a long, and blast beats abounding as the vocalists screech out lyrics filled to the brim with tongue in cheek, snot-nosed humor. Really, this band is just essential to any modern extreme music fan, and comes highly recommended. This is the author, and the other commenter pretty much hit the nail on the head.

OK, Boomer. The ten songs here are nothing short of a churning hellscape of death cries that at times rivals the most esoteric War Metal in terms of pure sonic devastation. This album is a listening experience not soon forgotten. Wisconsin grindcore trio Mellow Harsher is, um, immunized against lousy extreme music on a new split EP.
