Essential Grindcore Albums

By , About.com Guide   September 29, 2011

Follow me on:

Grindcore is not a genre for the faint of heart.  It's an acquired taste, an extreme style of music that's brutal and intense with nonstop blastbeats and often unintelligible vocals.  It's good for those with short attention spans, with many grindcore albums including dozens of short songs, sometimes under a minute in length.   Napalm Death were one of the pioneers of the genre, and remain one of grindcore's most popular bands.  We've put together a list of 10 albums that represent the genre, and are a good starting point for those wanting to learn more about or further explore grindcore.
