The big bang of grindcore. Yes, there were plenty of other bands aiming for a sky-high level of extremity prior to the emergence of the Birmingham legends; Napalm themselves would surely be quick to point to the likes of Swans, Motörhead, Poison Idea, Discharge, Slayer, Sonic Youth and others as artists that inspired their brand of savageness, but ...
If Napalm Death invented the initial blueprint for grindcore, then Terrorizer tweaked and improved on the formula. The trio were only around for a few years, and split soon after the release of this watershed album, but the impact of World Downfall cannot be understated. While Scum felt freeform, improvised and ramshackle in its approach, Terrorize...
Improving on the sheer sonic intensity of grindcore became a difficult task as we moved into the new Millennium; after all, this was a genre that had been born at the very apex of extremity, and thus, left very little room for manoeuvre. So, it’s to the eternal credit of Swedish grind legends Nasum that they found a new gear for grindcore, taking t...
It would be utterly absurd to create this list without at least one contribution from Scott Hull included. Across his work as an early member of the controversial Anal Cunt, his time in both Agorophobic Nosebleed and Pig Destroyer and his various production credits, he’s done more than pretty much anyone to shape the sound of modern grindcore.

- Napalm Death – Scum (Earache, 1987) It’s impossible to imagine just how life-changing/brain-destroying it would have been for the average person to be exposed to Scum back in 1987.
- Nasum – Helvete (Relapse, 2003) Having never dropped a bad record, Nasum were the true kings of Scandinavian grindcore up until the untimely death of frontman Mieszko Talarczyk in the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands back in 2004.
- Trap Them – Darker Handcraft (Prosthetic, 2011) Though it could be argued that Trap Them are more of a hardcore or perhaps crust band, they really could grind with the best of them up until their dissolution in 2017.
- Pig Destroyer – Terrifyer (Relapse, 2004) Arguably the finest U.S. grindcore record of all time – and certainly one of the best bass-free metal records ever released – Terrifyer, is frankly terrifying.
