Grindcore is an extreme form of Hardcore Punk and Heavy Metal , related to both Death Metal and Crust Punk , but historically formed by combining elements of hardcore punk and early Thrash Metal . HISTORICAL ROOTS AND INFLUENCES The genre was pioneered during the early 1980s in the United Kingdom , Netherlands and Brazil by bands such as Sore Throat and Napalm Death . In the United States the genre has their roots with proto-grindcore and Hardcore Punk bands such as Siege , DRI , SOB , Cyanamid , Deep Wound and Repulsion . Many of the early bands, such as Napalm Death, DRI, and Siege were seen by their contemporaries as part of the Anarcho-punk and Hardcore Punk scenes. As many Anarcho-punk and Peace Punk bands in England and Hardcore in the United States had already incorporated elements of Heavy Metal into their music. Many of these early bands were, and still are, obscure. For instance, the hardcore punk band Siege only released a DIY demo entitled ''Drop Dead'', and Repulsion was posthumously exposed to the world in 1989 through the album ''Horrified'' which was released in Europe for its intense Blast-beat drumming, grinding guitars (hence the name), brutal Grunted Vocals , and very short songs (the Napalm Death song " You Suffer " is listed as the shortest song ever by the Guinness Book Of Records , clocking in at just over 1 second long; however, others such as the Cripple Bastards on their demo ''94 Flashback di Massacro'', and Agoraphobic Nosebleed on their 3" cd/10" lp ''Altered States of America'' have taken this aesthetic to even greater extremes). American grindcore band Anal Cunt , a project of Seth Putnam , has recorded an EP called 5643 Song EP which contains 5643 songs in less than 15 minutes. SUBGENRES Grindcore has proven somewhat difficult to categorise. Some fans and musicians have a firm concept of genre and subgenre, but others reject such categorisation as limiting or useless. There is often significant crossover from one category to another, and often the influence of non-metal music is present. Genres
