Best 100 grindcore releases

Grindcore is a subgenre of extreme metal that originated in the early 1980s, characterized by its aggressive, fast-paced, and often chaotic sound. The music is typically characterized by heavily distorted, down-tuned guitars, blast beats played on drums, and vocals that range from high-pitched screams to low growls or pig squeals. Grindcore lyrics often deal with themes of social and political criticism, and the music is associated with an anti-establishment attitude. The genre has also been known for its brief song lengths, often lasting less than a minute. Some notable bands in the genre include Napalm Death, Carcass, and Brutal Truth.
