One of my favorite songs of all time, and my personal vote for greatest vocals of all time.

@KNessJM

Thank you for commenting.

It would seem that there's a low appreciation for ND when there shouldn't be.

@moparmonster1965 You're thinking of basic aesthetics. As a guitarist, I can say that the riffing is totally different. Death metal is much more technical and complex, whereas grind has a punkish simplicity to it.

[moparmonster1965]

@shockofhyperbole You're referring more to lyrical content than actualy musical structure here because while your example is sound, Carcass' early work is often considered grindcore but has more in common with death metal than punk/hardcore.

My point is that the two are so closely related and intertwined that quibbling about the label is often pointless.

@moparmonster1965 No, they're totally different. Grind is based in punk, whereas death metal is based in thrash. Just compare the music on Scum to the music on Leprosy and you'll see what I'm talking about.

@eddgrindcore That's not a very good rationalization because if I have a band that sounds like ABBA for one album and we then dramatically change our sound to death metal for the next, you wouldn't call the new album disco, would you?

The point is that grind and death metal, politcal lyrics aside, are basically the same.

@moparmonster1965 Reek is obviously Grindcore to a large degree, still quite death metalish. The fact that Symphonies is called grind is due to the fact the album that preceded it was grind. If it were released without the preivous album I very much doubt it would have been called grind.
