Ohio grindcore project whose 2024 split with Tomb Perfume channels botanical grotesquerie through grinding extremity. Named after a real organism that shoots spore masses — a perfect metaphor for their explosive sound.
Philadelphia grindcore act whose 2020 debut Fountainous Exsanguination pairs a diacritical-marked name with a title describing explosive bloodletting. Linguistically ornate grindcore from the City of Brotherly Love.
Los Angeles grindcore project — their name means 'assassin' in Spanish — with three releases since 2012. Lo que llevamos dentro and Mas Victimas deliver bilingual extremity from LA's massive Latin American metal community.
Richmond, Virginia grindcore outfit tearing through the capital city's vibrant punk and metal crossover scene with blistering blasts and socially charged fury.
North Dakota grindcore act bringing blistering micro-blasts from one of America's most sparsely populated states, channeling isolation into ferocious sonic violence.
Chicago grindcore band tearing through the Windy City's aggressive music scene with unrelenting blasts and grinding fury, contributing to the city's extreme music legacy.
Death metal and grindcore project of undisclosed origin whose 2023 releases — including Breathplay In D Standard — make their thematic fixation aggressively literal. Transgressive grind that pushes every boundary of taste.
Brooklyn grindcore project whose 2025 album FUNKO POP MUSIC takes aim at consumer culture through grinding extremity. The deliberately provocative title and multilingual approach mark them as part of NYC's newest wave of confrontational heavy music.
New York grindcore act living up to their name with blunt-force sonic punishment, contributing to the city's long tradition of extreme, boundary-pushing heavy music.
