Main difference between goregrind and pornogrind other than lyrics is groove. Goregrind is closer to death metal and pornogrind is mostly punk beats. Pornogrind is also quite a bit more comedic, goregrind is just twisted
Yeah, pornogrind tends to be slower and groovier with fewer overt deathgrind elements, although there is some convergent evolution with slam in terms of the chunky riffing style despite the punkier drums. Both have the pitch-shifted vocal style and are heavily indebted to the likes of early Carcass, however, with goregrind kind of just being a whole subgenre of Carcass and Regurgitate fanboys, whereas pornogrind begins more with Gut.
@@brynjulfharfager6671 I kind of categorise gorenoise and its derivatives as their own thing, personally, with 7 Minutes of Nausea and Intestinal Disgorge being that particular style's true forefathers. But I do see your point about there being groovier goregrind bands here and there; I just personally associate that school more strongly with that Carcass worship deathgrind style where pornogrind to me feels more like punkified slam with extra groove, particularly the stuff taking off of Cock and Ball Torture's approach.
@@ConvincingPeople I guess porn and sex while taboo isn't as upsetting, morbid and aggressive as gore and this is reflected in the music of pornogrind being less abrasive and more comical
Looks like I have a lot of grind to check out. As someone who really enjoys what gnaw their tongues brings to the table in terms of audio depravity, thank you for introducing them to me by the way, I am cautiously excited for the real extremity that will be on display as I get toward the bottom of the iceberg. Thank you for giving me yet another laundry list of music to enjoy!
Sore Throat are worth a mention from the noisegrind/noisecore end of things. Their album 'Disgrace to the Corpse of Sid' has some truly bizarre and abstract qualities to it, and it came out in 1988.
Sissy Spacek is one of the few bands I've seen break people who can normally enjoy extreme music, and to be fair I can't blame them. Really good iceberg video as well.
@@terminalglimmer i dont know for sure if Charlie is from Portland but he lived there for a while at least and played in a few rad bands. knelt rote is just fucking bananas
Thanks for this video. I always enjoy your iceberg videos and I hope to see more of it based on any sort of genre. I've known about several Grindcore bands but I've never drive into it deeply. I realized there's so much to discover in this genre. I always admired Grindcore for it's abstraction and creativity. Indeed, creativity has no boundaries. I'm glad you included Endon, Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation and Sissy Specek.They are so underrated and deserves so much attention. You got me curious about bands like Princess Army Wedding Combat, Cutting Pink with Knives, We came with broken teeth and John Zorn. I blame you!
Holy shit you covered Princess Army Wedding Combat! He originally started off with usual noisegrind with anime samples in like 2001, it's impressive to see his evolution. Ufocatcher is fucking crazy, dudes a legend honestly. I've been working on a split with him too so it makes me even more hype that you mentioned him
Thank you for including Naked City and Cutting Pink With Knives! I was big into "weird" music back in the day and wanted to revisit some bands. Those two sound so fresh and interesting I can't stop listening now. To me grindcore and black metal have always been the most fertile soil for experimentation. Sweden's Birdflesh is also one of my favorites because of how fun and wacky they are. For those new to grind who want to check out more bands, I suggest Nasum and Rotten Sound (Most of the other great bands were already mentioned in the comments). Lord Gore and Haemorrhage also used to play some good goregrind.
Just wanted to give you a shoutout man. I have been watching your channel for a minute, and I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to a lot of new bands and projects. You and Goniloc are the real ones!
Nice video, mate! I'd like to add one. It's russian cybergrind one-man project called "Взрыв кабачка в коляске с поносом". Translates to something like "explosion of a squash in a wheelchair with diarrhea" Sounds quite nasty and degenerate to my ear, but surprisingly entertaining.
Haha love these iceberg dives, you and Goniloc do it right. Some of my faves in variable sub-forms/ subgenres are: The Day Everything Became Nothing ("Brutal" is such a killer album) Insect Warfare (they're just great!) Foetopsy ("In the Bathroom" is a hilarious and brutal album, great dudes from the Midwest/ Milwaukee scene) Pigsty (because Pig squeals, narrows out Nuclear Vomit for me) Putrid Pile (Shawn does it right for one-man Deathgrind) Gutalax (funniest grooviest ShitGrind mastery lol) Absoranie Bogom (pretty "obscure" outfit but they're great) Face Fucking Frenzy (newer act from the Midwest scene, great dudes, I've collaborated with them before but they just make some zany and heavy stuff) Torsofuck ('nuff said) Lymphatic Phlegm (best Brazilian Pathological Grind outfit) Tetragrammicide (excellent fusion Grind/ War Metal/ Black Metal/ Industrial and Experimental noise terror outfit from India, many may debate their "place" in classification but they definitely have elements therein variably) Rompeprop (we all know why lmao) There's so many great and terrible acts to really narrow it down to the most subjectively enjoyable, but those are some of mine-- not big on the political garbage, much more akin to the esoteric and degen with Grind hahahahahaaha. Nice name drop with the Locust too, fun stuff there, they've got a decent following in both the Grind and Post-Rock communities, Last Days of Humanity rips too nice drop. And Cock and Ball Torture hellyeah hahaha! Could also drop Spermswamp, because it's just ridiculous and hilarious, same with Cemetery R*pist and Carnal Diafragma. (I also play in the degen Grind outfit Beer Enema, one of many projects just for kicks hah)
@@ManuSDP Yes!!! Love those guys, saw them many times back in the day haha, they're a perfect blend of Deathgrind and Goregrind. So many gems out there!
@@영어스앵님 well that's a matter of opinion, but why do you think that? I appreciate the effort he puts in the genre vids and his support of many an underground acts (including mine)
@@DJTheMetalheadMercenary alright, I’ve only watched his “bastardized history of ~” series and personally his video might be funny but lacks substance in my opinion but like you said, it’s only a matter of opinion.
Great video! I’m not sure familiar with a lot of grindcore outside of the big names (Napalm Death, Full Of Hell, Insect Warfare, etc), so this is gonna help a ton! One subgenre of grindcore that I am really familiar with is mathgrind though. If I were to make a tier for it, I would include (early) Genghis Tron, Ion Dissonance, Fawn Limbs, As the Sun Sets/early Daughters, and maybe “MMX” by War From a Harlot’s Mouth.
This was a really solid chart. A few bands missing that I really think should have been on here-Agathocles, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Cephalic Carnage, Genghis Tron, Intestinal Disgorge-but you also covered quite a few which I hoped you would but actually didn't expect. Fear of God and Princess Army Wedding Combat were particularly good pulls from the back pocket. Oh! Fun fact: Dave Phillips of Fear of God later went on to become a dark ambient and field recording artist under his own name, including a noise remix album of his old grind material entitled The Hermeneutics of Fear of God. He's also part of the Schimpfluch-Gruppe, a circle of audiovisual performance artists formed in Geneva which includes the infamous Rudolf Eb.er, alias Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck, whose album Asshole/Snail Dilemma is… unlike anything you'll ever hear. It has the harsh noise artist Masonna on it at one point, and that's one of the *tame* moments.
Early 2000's/ late 90's had a massive movement of these acts (just grab any relapse records comp from the era lol), to the point where it was over saturated. Just seeing this list made me think of C carnage and AN (who did an absolutely EPIC split record with converge).
I basically came here to say that, needs to mention genghis tron and agoraphobic nosebleed especially genghis in the cybergrind context. The biggest crime in this otherwise great video is not bringing up terrorizer in the first tier or at least metal grind tier.
For those who don't know them i strongly suggest the italians Cripple Bastards, expecially Misantropo a Senso Unico (2000) and Variante alla Morte (2008). They would fit quite well in Tier 2, at least these two albums
Good vid man and a few bands I will check out from it. Some big names I think you missed were Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Nasum and the original "Rocky Mountain Hydro Grinders" Cephalic Carnage.
...or Fck the Facts, or Gadget, or France's Blockheads, Leng Tch'e, Phobia, Rotten Sound, Antigama, etc. Relapse label was how i was introduced to these - and other - amazing bands, they were once a powerhouse label for grindcore and extreme death...
Dude, I love these vids. Thank you so much for helping me to discover Cutting Pink with Knives-that is some of the coolest and most unique stuff I've heard in quite a while. I mean, there's a lot of unique shit out there now like Imperial Triumphant, but I can't really handle listening to that for more than a song. Cutting Pink with Knives on the other hand is actually really enjoyable
Yesssss The Locust! What's epic about your explanation is that I actually stumbled unto The Locust and The Residents around the same time. Thanks for bringing those crazy fuckers up! 🤘
I think Insect Warfare should be tier 1 now. I have gone to grindcore shows for a little over 10 years, long after the band had already called it quits, and I have never once in my life gone to a single show where there aren't at least one or two peeps running around with an Insect Warfare shirt. I've been to shows where I didn't notice any Pig Destroyer or even Napalm Death shirts, but IW? Never, which is pretty impressive.
Great list. Sissy Spacek are very unique in that they conflate Musique Concretè with Grindcore, which have a surprising amount of similarities. Also if you enjoy jazz style grind, Mats Gustafson had a great group called The Thing which at times, has grind type moments. Also, Last Exit and Zü are worth checking out
there are so many bands that deserves mentioning here, cause grind is such a rich genre with a vast list of subgenres and a great number of creative artists and bands, also lots of ways to mix it up with other genres, but for today gorgonized dorks is my recommendation. i love grind bands that make a lot of splits, thats why i love noisegrind and mincecore bands, in the vein of agathocles, i really dont know how these bands can release so many stuff.
I think one major goregrind bordering on noise at times band is Lymphatic Phlegm. That stuff is nuts. Check the first track on their first demo "Manifestation Of Purulent Cystical Bacillosis In The Internal Ligaments Of The Bile Visicle" to hear the jangly bass, and "Inflamatory Fermentation Of The Gastric Tissue" for the weird-as-hell guitar tone and ultra pitch shifted vocals.
One I would throw in the category with C&BT is Torsofuck! Raped by Elephants is one I will never forget hearing for the first time at the age of 15....
i'd like to state that the band "united mutation" was doing the whole "proto-grind" genre before siege, i always put siege in with powerviolence but your video is very well thought out and loved by many...i give you INSANE props my dude
Last Days of Humanity is probably the most extreme band of all time. In Advanced Hemorrhaging Conditions and Putrefaction in Progress are two of the most extreme albums ever made. Best Goregrind band of all time in my personal opinion
I remember seeing The Locust live back in 2003. They really put on a show with their hectic music and insect costumes. Some bands does silence between songs good, and they are one of those. Just tune the instruments and start the next noise explosion. Thanks for the vid, Wyatt 🤘
I’m always on the look out for new music I’ve not heard before, and I really wish that you would have included some snippets of music from the bands you talk about when you talk about them, so we (the uninitiated) have an example what they sound like. 👍🏼
I am pleasantly surprised at how many bands throughout the tiers I actually knew. It’s interesting that you consider the noise elements of ROTUGF a subset of industrial influence. I would have never thought of it. Imma have to check out sete star sept
To add a band to the cybergrind tier, OLD (or old lady drivers). Pretty wild band and were early on the cybergrind wave with "Lo Flux Tube" in 1992. Started off as a bit of a fad band with their S/T, turned cybergrind with the second release, followed it up with a wild album that I can only describe as "progressive cybergrind" and then capped off their legacy with this weird industrial indie album. Big rec.
Little surprised I didn't see Kraanium or Parasitic Ejaculation on the "Degenerate Grind" level, but this is an awesome video! Thanks for uploading this!
a great band that are often looked past [besides assück, who are fucking incredible] is NASUM. relapse rex darlings, wicked crusty grind from sweden. RIP miezko talarczyk.
Got some more for you - Level 1 Gridlink: Longhena (With Discordance Axis members) Level 7: - C*NTS - Phone! Sex! Phone! & Stalaggh - Projekt Misanthropia ...the latter is the most insane record in the history of mankind (literally, read their backstory). And as a special guest as the Mariana Trench of all that is grind and noise and insanity, Level 8: Merzbow: The Berzbox - If you manage to listen to the whole thing and stay sane you get my uttermost respect
Hey. I am a massive fan of cyber grind and I just gotta say my fav cybergrind esk musicians. Those being atari teenage riot, drul 131, rabbit junk, schizoid and machine girl.
These iceberg vids are what brought me to your channel; I’m a new subscriber so thanks for winning over my short attention span with helluvawesome content, you rock dude 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Great to see Gigantic Brain get a mention, I found the invasion discography on grindcore karaoke back in 2011 and fell in love immediately. It blends grindcore with an apocalyptic sci-fi/horror feel like I've never heard anyone reproduce since!
Discordance Axis is one I would throw in there. And probably The Sawtooth Grin. Definitely hella grind influences, and inspired other great bands in mathcore/grindcore
Was glad to say I found a sh-tton of the Locust and Cock and Balls Torture over on YT Red and yes they were insane and ridiculous and great and I managed to shoehorn them onto my Grindcore playlist. Thanks as always !
I would have loved to see Concrete Sox, Discordance Axis, Electro Hippies, Unholy Grave, Larm, and Plutocracy Only so much space on the list though and a fun watch, thanks for the vid!
BRO! I nearly forgot about wecamewithbrokenteeth! It was honestly the MySpace days around 10 yo finding extreme music. My influences outside of it were just people I knew. I grew in a small town. My parents were metal heads and introduced me to King Diamond, Marylin Manson, and Metallica. My friends were just into radio rock. Finding MySpace metal was like having someone come up behind me and drive an icepick into my through my ears in the best possible way and qued my descent into everything musically extreme.

Main difference between goregrind and pornogrind other than lyrics is groove. Goregrind is closer to death metal and pornogrind is mostly punk beats. Pornogrind is also quite a bit more comedic, goregrind is just twisted
Honestly thanks for explaining the differences between the two !
Yeah, pornogrind tends to be slower and groovier with fewer overt deathgrind elements, although there is some convergent evolution with slam in terms of the chunky riffing style despite the punkier drums. Both have the pitch-shifted vocal style and are heavily indebted to the likes of early Carcass, however, with goregrind kind of just being a whole subgenre of Carcass and Regurgitate fanboys, whereas pornogrind begins more with Gut.
You have both in both, gore groove and gorenoise is a thing, just as deranged porno noisecore and pornogroove is a thing as well.
@@brynjulfharfager6671 I kind of categorise gorenoise and its derivatives as their own thing, personally, with 7 Minutes of Nausea and Intestinal Disgorge being that particular style's true forefathers.

Surprised that Anaal Nathrakh weren't mentioned in Cyber Grind. Absolute legends of that kind of music.
I was tempted to include them but I felt like leaving them out since ive talked about them A LOT on my channel hahaha
Great list. Sissy Spacek are very unique in that they conflate Musique Concretè with Grindcore, which have a surprising amount of similarities. Also if you enjoy jazz style grind, Mats Gustafson had a great group called The Thing which at times, has grind type moments. Also, Last Exit and Zü are worth checking out
i cant wait for a death metal one :) c'mon Wyatt you know its inevitable
there are so many bands that deserves mentioning here, cause grind is such a rich genre with a vast list of subgenres and a great number of creative artists and bands, also lots of ways to mix it up with other genres, but for today gorgonized dorks is my recommendation. i love grind bands that make a lot of splits, thats why i love noisegrind and mincecore bands, in the vein of agathocles, i really dont know how these bands can release so many stuff.
Best powerviolence groups - Man Is The Bastard and Crossed Out. Great video.
I think one major goregrind bordering on noise at times band is Lymphatic Phlegm. That stuff is nuts. Check the first track on their first demo "Manifestation Of Purulent Cystical Bacillosis In The Internal Ligaments Of The Bile Visicle" to hear the jangly bass, and "Inflamatory Fermentation Of The Gastric Tissue" for the weird-as-hell guitar tone and ultra pitch shifted vocals.
They’re great! Have you heard the new one they did?
@@ManuSDP not yet, hoping to get the disc from Grindfather at some point.
Hell yeah, Lymphatic Phlegm are legend! And very kind guys, used to be pen-pals with them.
@@ManuSDP it's so good!
There's a real oddball called Phyllomedusa which is your expected grindnoise but with a bunch of frog samples
I saw The Locust live as a kid and I was thinking what is this fast, spastic, chaotic music!? Then I dug deeper and found grindcore.
Man you know there ain't no such thing as leftover crack...
Of course there is, I stole it from the choking victim. ;)
And later became Star Fucking Hipsters.
One I would throw in the category with C&BT is Torsofuck! Raped by Elephants is one I will never forget hearing for the first time at the age of 15....
Recently blasted that to my non metalhead friends on a friday afternoon in a public park
i'd like to state that the band "united mutation" was doing the whole "proto-grind" genre before siege, i always put siege in with powerviolence but your video is very well thought out and loved by many...i give you INSANE props my dude
I’m going to have to go back to United Mutation as I never picked up on the proto-grind element. Haven’t listened to them in years. Thanks
Last Days of Humanity is probably the most extreme band of all time. In Advanced Hemorrhaging Conditions and Putrefaction in Progress are two of the most extreme albums ever made. Best Goregrind band of all time in my personal opinion
Hymns is the most gross album of all time last days of humanity are masters of goregrind deffo my favourite along side early regurgitate
Their newest 2021 album is so groovy amd heavy its rediculous they deserve their video for having such a huge varied discography
probably the goregrind band i listen to the most
Hymns is my favorite goregrind album. Disgustingly brutal music with an equally disgusting album cover. Just the way I like my goregrind
Cutting Pink With Knives mentioned. I have subbed.
Repulsion is so interesting within the history of Grind. Proto-grind/proto-goregrind, hardcore, some thrash and some death metal even.
Pls do a deathmetal iceberg video
^^^^^
Ok
@@wyattxhimim already waiting!
Definitely
I was WAITING for you to name drop Gigantic Brain within the Cybergrind category, his shit after the Invasion Discography is honestly fucking dope af.
Great video!
Did I miss a mention of Agathocles? Def. should be mentioned (in the "The Punk Side of" segment?) .
I remember seeing The Locust live back in 2003. They really put on a show with their hectic music and insect costumes. Some bands does silence between songs good, and they are one of those. Just tune the instruments and start the next noise explosion. Thanks for the vid, Wyatt 🤘
I enjoy your ice berg charts. I always end up listening to all the bands you list
I just checked Cutting Pink With Knives, and i absolutely love it. Its so melodic and fun.
Massive props for shouting out FID and Sete Star Sept, two of the best contemporary artists in the genre.
making a project on metal genres. so in advance before my research thank you for these kinds of videos
Full of Hell Is my favorite band ever. I’m glad they’re featured in this video.
I’m always on the look out for new music I’ve not heard before, and I really wish that you would have included some snippets of music from the bands you talk about when you talk about them, so we (the uninitiated) have an example what they sound like. 👍🏼
Cutting Pink With Knives sounds like a more refined Hello Kitty Suicide Club.
I am pleasantly surprised at how many bands throughout the tiers I actually knew. It’s interesting that you consider the noise elements of ROTUGF a subset of industrial influence. I would have never thought of it. Imma have to check out sete star sept
To add a band to the cybergrind tier, OLD (or old lady drivers). Pretty wild band and were early on the cybergrind wave with "Lo Flux Tube" in 1992. Started off as a bit of a fad band with their S/T, turned cybergrind with the second release, followed it up with a wild album that I can only describe as "progressive cybergrind" and then capped off their legacy with this weird industrial indie album. Big rec.
Little surprised I didn't see Kraanium or Parasitic Ejaculation on the "Degenerate Grind" level, but this is an awesome video! Thanks for uploading this!
Fluids out here throwing trap beats along with the grind
video longer than the average grind album
a great band that are often looked past [besides assück, who are fucking incredible] is NASUM. relapse rex darlings, wicked crusty grind from sweden. RIP miezko talarczyk.
22:03 hey that's us! That's my band! I currently play guitar in it!
Got some more for you - Level 1 Gridlink: Longhena (With Discordance Axis members) Level 7: - C*NTS - Phone! Sex! Phone! & Stalaggh - Projekt Misanthropia ...the latter is the most insane record in the history of mankind (literally, read their backstory). And as a special guest as the Mariana Trench of all that is grind and noise and insanity, Level 8: Merzbow: The Berzbox - If you manage to listen to the whole thing and stay sane you get my uttermost respect
Hey. I am a massive fan of cyber grind and I just gotta say my fav cybergrind esk musicians. Those being atari teenage riot, drul 131, rabbit junk, schizoid and machine girl.
Im so glad The Locust and WCWBT were not forgotten.
Major props, I still love those bands the same as i did 17+ years ago.
Great vid dude u look like metalhead quinton reviews n i love that, subbed
These iceberg vids are what brought me to your channel; I’m a new subscriber so thanks for winning over my short attention span with helluvawesome content, you rock dude 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Great to see Gigantic Brain get a mention, I found the invasion discography on grindcore karaoke back in 2011 and fell in love immediately. It blends grindcore with an apocalyptic sci-fi/horror feel like I've never heard anyone reproduce since!
great video really wish you would mentione skrams/emoviolence bands like orchid, pageninetynine and jeromes dream
An Isle Ate Her and Decomposing Serenity are my two personal favorite "grind projects". Neither get brought up a whole lot and it's a damn shame.
When you enjoy some Oddball Grind give Le Scrawl a listen. Late 80s punk/jazz/grind hybrid from Germany.
One of the first metal magazines i go … mentioned the locust .
the most "obscure" grindcore bands you can find are the bands you are your friends make yourselves
Iceberg charts are good and gives insight, love the work Wyatt 🤘
Discordance Axis is one I would throw in there. And probably The Sawtooth Grin. Definitely hella grind influences, and inspired other great bands in mathcore/grindcore
Great idea! Love this concept👌
Hahaha wow 😆 now i have a few interesting projects to check out. Your services have been much appreciated.
Humans are temporary, but grindcore is forever
Two really great Grind bands that are super weird too are Melt Banana (Japan) and Pig Sty (Czech Republic)
Very nice video sir! I would of mentioned phyllomedusa and le scrawl in the weirdo tier.
Bucket full of teeth on youth attack is a fantastic grind project - totally atmospheric!
Always find cool shit from your channel. Dope
Endon- Through the Mirror is a masterpiece. I prefer to listen to it in headphones while laying on the floor, I just get lost in it.
I think that final exit would fit well into tier 5 honestly
Was glad to say I found a sh-tton of the Locust and Cock and Balls Torture over on YT Red and yes they were insane and ridiculous and great and I managed to shoehorn them onto my Grindcore playlist. Thanks as always !
This is a great one to do - thank you for this .
Cutting Pink with Knives kinda slaps tho
thanks for the painkiller input, awesome!
I would have loved to see Concrete Sox, Discordance Axis, Electro Hippies, Unholy Grave, Larm, and Plutocracy
Only so much space on the list though and a fun watch, thanks for the vid!
Great description of goregrind/pornogrind vocals! Lol
Thanks for the recs!!!
BRO! I nearly forgot about wecamewithbrokenteeth! It was honestly the MySpace days around 10 yo finding extreme music. My influences outside of it were just people I knew. I grew in a small town. My parents were metal heads and introduced me to King Diamond, Marylin Manson, and Metallica. My friends were just into radio rock. Finding MySpace metal was like having someone come up behind me and drive an icepick into my through my ears in the best possible way and qued my descent into everything musically extreme.
