Crust, Grind, and Power Violence Discussion Thread

What is Crust?

Crust is an evolved form of hardcore punk. It has been described as
apocalyptic hardcore with a tinge of metal. Its lyrics are usually
very political in nature, dealing with everything from squatting, to
veganism, to anarchy, and to animal rights. Taking elements from
anarcho and grind, crust bands have come up with their own original
sound, which can vary from slow and sludgy, to blisteringly fast. Some
early bands include Antischism, Amebix, and Deviated Instinct, who
originally coined the term "crust" as it was originally called
"stenchcore". Current crust bands include World Burns To Death, Behind
Enemy Lines, Hellshock, and Subvert Citizens.

What is Grind/Grindcore?

Grindcore is a very intense genre that is the furthest expansion of Hardcore Punk. Grindcore stands for Hardcore that grinds. It started out in Great Britain with the band Napalm Death and it's genre defining album Scum. This beginning sound was million mile per hour political protests from teenagers screaming their throats out. Over the years the genre has expanded and mated with the metal genre death metal and thus commercialized the genre somewhat for bands that took this mating and adapted it to their sound. Though nowadays there are some bands who are still true to the original sound of a warp speed revolution. This is musical holocaust with pure decimation in the fore.

What is Power Violence?

Power Violence is a sub genre of grindcore, and contains shrieked, high pitched vocals, very fast guitar, and very fast drums, using blast beats very often. Songs are played at such break-neck speed that power violence songs are often no more than 1 minute long, and are at times as short as 20 seconds long. Power Violence was pioneered in the 80's, from bands such as Infest, and Siege. It had it's greatest explosion in the early 90's, often refered to as the second wave of power violence, containing bands such as **** on the Beach, Charles Bronson, and Spazz. Bands such as Capitalist Casualties, Man Is the Bastard, and No Comment were called the first wave of power violence.
