I'm not too heavily in to goregrind by most standards. But I went through a phase when I was a teenager where I listened to a lot of this stuff. I was seeking out the absolute most extreme and disgusting form of metal imaginable, and I found it in Gore. It is underground music in the truest sense; it has no commercial viability even in the restricted market of extreme metal, and is utterly offensive to the sensibilities of most sane humans. It seems to be a scene populated by genuinely sick minds. To this day I don't think any genre can match it in terms of sheer vileness and extremity.
Goregrind is of course largely inspired by early Carcass, who pioneered the technique of pitch-shifting growls even lower than usual. It achieves an effect reminiscent of a toilet flushing, and is exemplified in Carcass by the song Psychopathologist.
Modern Goregrind generally has better production, but the depravity has increased to an almost unimaginable degree. The band Rectal Smegma are not particularly sophisticated even by goregrind standards, but they embody the disgusting nature of the genre.
Regurgitate are another favorite of mine. With somewhat more intelligently crafted music, reminiscent of Nasum or Napalm Death, they are one of the better examples of what the genre offers.
Pornogrind is a subgenre focused on grotesque sexuality. I'm not going to post any videos for fear of being censored or banned, but a google search will deliver many examples. It is sick stuff.
The Obscene Extreme festival is one of the few showcases for this stuff. The antics of the crowd are legendary. This is the band Haemorrhage from Spain, who are both legends in the scene, and have a remarkably attractive female guitarist.
Goregrind is certainly not brainiac music. But I've always maintained a love of it, and binge a couple times a year usually. I thought the genre needed a voice on here. So post all your favorite examples, discuss, hate on it if you wish. I'm sure there will be hate, but the world needs an outlet for it's villainy. So post away! Let the gore flow, my sick brethren!
