The 5 club: grindcore

Dear me, that title's still annoying me. Anyhow...

Siege Of Hate
Starting off as a death/grind band, especially with the awesome album 'Subversive By Nature', Siege Of Hate have moved somewhat onto a more pure grind oriented sound with last year's album 'Deathmocracy', especially with the stylistic shift of the vocals. This one's off that album - I would have included something off 'Subversive...', but I couldn't find anything on Youtube.


Agoraphobic Nosebleed
Combining standard grind with electronic elements and one hell of a drum machine courtesy of Scott Hull, I personally feel that the quality of ANb's output has somewhat diminished since the addition of real members lessened the craziness of the music, so here's part of their MCD masterpiece, 'Altered States Of America'.


Last Days Of Humanity
Goregrind sickos Last Days Of Humanity first hit the limelight with debut album 'The Sound Of Rancid Juices Sloshing About Your Coffin', but, such is goregrind, that pretty much all of their music is interchangeable... just somehow they do it better than most other goregrind acts!


Insect Warfare
It was claimed by Earache, as they rereleased it, that 'World Extermination' was the best grindcore album since 'From Enslavement To Obliteration'. Whilst I may not place it that high, it's certainly in amongst the greats, and so here's 'Human Trafficking' off that great album.


Reth
Still relatively unknown, Reth made 2008's 'Precursors To Extinction' available for free legal download not too long ago, and are really an exciting prospect for British grindcore, as they really show that the essence of spazzgrind lives on. Here's 'Shibboleths Of The New Panacea'.
