Inside The Beehive's "Drink Bleach; Live Forever" E.P.
Despite the fact that this is an ultra-extreme example of mathcore & includes the use of blast beats, I don't actually feel that it crosses over into genuine grindcore territory for long enough to warrant it being a part of The Horde or appearing in the grindcore charts. Therefore, I'd like to see it removed & reside only in The Revolution.
Yeah I'm sure Andi. I have a very extensive background with grindcore & to my ears this is just so obviously a mathcore release so there's no reason to throw it in with grindcore. The characteristics you mentioned are all a part of the mathcore/metalcore sound as far as I'm concerned. For example, short song-lengths are a characteristic borrowed from hardcore punk which is the building block for both metalcore & grindcore. There are literally truck loads of metalcore releases with short song lengths. The self-titled Sunami E.P. we featured a couple of months back is a prime example. Are you suggesting that it should be regarded as grindcore too simply because of the two minute track lengths? Sure you'll find some artists that are more extreme than others in the same way that you do in any other genre but grindcore has a signature sound that differentiates it from death metal & metalcore & I only hear hints of that here.
