Best Grindcore Bands

Bill Steer of Carcass was apart of this

Best grindcore band ever...

Absolutely the best no contest.

Most intense live band I've ever seen! - ThatStrangeKid42

I like carcass and their first two albums are grindcore but everything afterwards is melodic death metal

Grindcore at its best. The angry vocals, Steer's brilliance on guitar. Why on earth is carcass so underrated?

Listen to Reek of Putrefaction and you will know what is the definition of Grindcore. - Nord666

Carcass much better then napalm. Especially when they lost steer and he went to carcass.

One of the best out there. There vocalist Travis Ryan can do pretty much anything and they have amazing technical instrumentalists.

One of the greatest bands eve, the intensity and the vocals just everything is brilliant

Cattle Decapitation is most certainly one of my favorites.

I'm a huge Cattle Decapitation fan, but they aren't grindcore. They are Deathgrind, (yes there is a difference) But most people consider them to be just Death Metal - ryanrimmel

Everyone is talking about Prowler in the Yard (amazing album), but let's not forget about Terrifyer which is just as good, if not better in some cases in my opinion - cjWriter1997

This is the first grindcore band I really got into. Prowler in The Yard is a superb album and the others do not disappoint. Any grindcore fan should look into this bands work. Also Brutal Truth should be ranked higher. At least in the top 10.

This band is great for their genre, but one thing I noticed is on their Prowler in the Yard album the song Starbelly that has parts that sound a lot like the Melvin's song Boris (which was made way before starbelly). You might think I'm being unjust since the Melvins and Pig Destroyer sound nothing alike, but if you listen to the middle of the song starbelly and then listen to boris then you'll notice that they sound almost exactly alike. I'm beginning to wonder if Pig Destroyer stole the part from boris (if they did, that would be bad because bands should be original and not rip off other artists. If they did it but asked first, then it would be okay. If they didn't, then it wouldn't matter.)

Prowler In The Yard is a record that proved Grindcore as a genre which can tell a twisted, engaging story while still maintaining musical brutality and unrelenting energy.

Aggression, speed, rage, heaviness that what is Grindcore and that is all about Terrorizer. World Downfall is the greatest Grindcore record ever made.

Should be at the runner-up just below Napalm Death.

I love this band
Should be under Napalm Death.

Awesome band and the
commando is king

They are the most creative grindcore band without a doubt

Way better than napalm death, these guys have pure talent! - bigmike137

Anal C is the all time heaviest band ever. There 5643 song ep cannot be topped. Absolute pure noise. Beautiful in every aspect.

I went back in time and voted for Hitler is easily the greatest lyrical achievement since anything by GG Allin

This is black metal
Great band though

One of the most unique Grindcore bands ever. Mix a nice dose of Black Metal (which I usually dislike) and Industrial into their Grindcore mix which creates a crushing yet hooky sound with dangerous grooves and haunting melodies. They should at least be in the Top 5.

1 - Napalm Death
2 - Cattle Decapitation
3 - Pig Destroyer
4 - Anaal Nathrakh

Carcass, as much as they completely rule, generally sounds more straight up Death/Melodeath to me.

Aborted is great they are amazing expecially the Extirpation Agenda

These amazing band
try in Engineering the Dead
and Strychnin.213 Albums
the Greater Grindcore
This is Number one grindcore

One of the underrated ones. These masked Mexican musicians really know how to rock

Best band that plays Grindcore.

Wow why are these guys not higher on the list? One of the best.

Arguably they're deathgrind, but if we're going to include deathgrind into grindcore, these guys are EASILY top 5 material. Like Cattle Decapitation, Cephalic Carnage has a surprising and creative take on the deathgrind formula. Where Cattle Decapitation experiments more with vocal techniques, Cephalic Carnage has a great and variative vocalist as well (though slightly less creative as Cattle Decapitation's Travis Ryan) but experiments more with interjecting ambient sounds from jazz, surf rock and flamenco or at set times using jazz fusion licks into their unique and trippy brand of deathgrind without ever seeming ridiculous. These unique elements, combined with the fact that they manage to stay as brutal as grind gets throughout, makes them far more interesting than straighforward peers such as Terrorizer, The Berzerker, Nasum or Anal C*nt.

Should be top 5: 1) Napalm Death 2) Carcass 3) Cattle Decapitation 4) Pig Destroyer 5) Cephalic Carnage. And while Carcass is an excellent ...more

The greatest Modern Grindcore band ever and one of the greatest Modern Metal bands.

I love them. They're so fast paced that they fired their drummer when he couldn't keep up. So they replaced him with a drum machine

Their 1st grindcore album was sick! I'm not saying they are the best grindcore band... But one of the best... They currently changed direction to death metal/deathcore... - nooreldeen

Have any of you heard a song off The Sin and Doom of Godless Men? It's really hard to believe something that harsh came from a Christian band

This band should be number 1 they are awesome and so brutal with lots of shreds my favorite band ever

Not a Grindcore band!

Great crustgrind band

Love these guys. Put them in the top 5 - ryanrimmel
