Goregrind is a fusion genre of grindcore and death metal.<ref name="passion book">Template:Cite book</ref> British band Carcass are commonly credited for the emergence of the genre. Goregrind is recognized for its heavily edited, pitch shifted vocals and abrasive musicianship rooted in grindcore and its lyrical emphasis on gore, death, pathology, and rape.
HistoryEdit
Despite the early impact of albums such as Repulsion's Horrified and Impetigo's Ultimo Mondo Cannibale,<ref name=Terrorizer>Badin, Olivier (2009). "Goregrind". Terrorizer, 181, p.41.</ref> the origins of the genre really lie with the British band Carcass,<ref name=carcassclones>Template:Cite book</ref> who began their career in the late 1980s. In their Reek of Putrefaction era, Carcass used pitch shifters, medical imagery and several visceral associations—all of which are tropes that would become synonymous with goregrind.
CharacteristicsEdit
According to Matthew Harvey, Template:Cquote
Zero Tolerance described goregrind as being defined by "detuned guitars, blasting drums (sometimes with a high-tuned, clanging 'biscuit tin' snare drum sound), sickening lyrics and often heavily processed/distorted vocals."<ref name=zerotolerance>"Grind Prix" (2005). Zero Tolerance #004, p. 46.</ref> Goregrind bands commonly use extremely low or pitch-shifted vocals.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The lyrics' subject matter often features violent themes including gore, forensic pathology, death, and rape. Lyrics sometimes have a clear tongue-in-cheek Z-grade horror-movie feel and are not expected to be taken seriously.<ref name="passion book" /> Cyjan, former drummer for Polish goregrind band Dead Infection, commented, "Musically, there's no real difference between grindcore and goregrind, but lyrically, whereas the first is socially and politically concerned, goregrind, as the name implies, deals with everything related to blood, pathological aspects or accidents with fatal results."<ref name=Terrorizer />
