Mouthbreather's "Pig" should be under grindcore

I think of that Mouthbreather EP as not just mathcore but also the grindcore that made me uncomfortable with this album. The songs that are each an average one minute in length are filled with the noise of heavily distorted guitars, bass in max-overdrive, high-speed drums, and abrasive screams, all noise-ridden far beyond mathcore alone. So I'd like to submit Mouthbreather's "Pig" to The Horde with the grindcore tag while keeping its existing position in The Revolution and mathcore.

To my ears "Pig" is a metalcore/mathcore hybrid in roughly equal portions. I can only find about 30 seconds of grindcore influence on the whole release to be honest & even then it's only an influence rather than a primary sound. I wouldn't even go for a grindcore secondary subgenre on this one so I'm afraid it'll be a NO vote from me.

I've just posted this nomination in the Hall of Judgement too.
