deathgrind

A borderline music genre between death metal and grindcore. Basically, it's too punky to be pure death metal, but the songs are too long and complicated for it to be raw grindcore either.

Good examples are 1989-1992 and post-2000 Napalm Death, first Brutal Truth album, Benighted, Cattle Decapitation, Cephalic Carnage, Misery Index, second Carcass album, Lock Up, Brujeria and early Bolt Thrower.

A: — It sure was a sick grindcore gig we went to yesterday.
B: — Didn't that band play death metal?
A: — Oh, come on, they were grindy as fuck.
C: — Ugh, guys, they play deathgrind.
