Precursors
The early grindcore scene relied on an international network of tape trading and DIY production.[17] The most widely acknowledged precursors of the grindcore sound are Siege,[18] a hardcore punk group, and Repulsion, an early death metal outfit.[10] Siege, from Weymouth, Massachusetts, were influenced by classic American hardcore (Minor Threat, Black Flag, Void) and by British groups like Discharge, Venom, and Motörhead.[19] Siege's goal was maximum velocity: "We would listen to the fastest punk and hardcore bands we could find and say, ‘Okay, we’re gonna deliberately write something that is faster than them'", drummer Robert Williams recalled.[19]Repulsion, from Flint, Michigan, cited street punk groups like Discharge and Charged GBH, crossover thrash such as Dirty Rotten Imbeciles and Corrosion of Conformity, thrash metal like Slayer, Metallica, and Sodom, early black metal (Venom) and death metal (Possessed), hardcore punk, like Black Flag, and older hard rock, as inspirational.[10] The group is often credited with inventing the classic grind blast beat (played at 190 bpm), as well as its distinctive bass tone.[10] Shane Embury, in particular, advocates the band as the origin of Napalm Death's later innovations.[10] Kevin Sharp of Brutal Truth declares that "Horrified was and still is the defining core of what grind became; a perfect mix of hardcore punk with metallic gore, speed and distortion."[20]
Other groups in the British grindcore scene, such as Heresy and Unseen Terror, have emphasized the influence of American hardcore punk, including Septic Death, as well as Swedish D-beat.[21] Sore Throat cites Discharge, Disorder, and a variety of European D-beat and thrash metal groups, including Hellhammer,[22] and American hardcore groups, such as Poison Idea and DRI.[22] Japanese hardcore, particularly GISM, is also mentioned by a number of originators of the style.[23] Other key groups cited by current and former members of Napalm Death as formative influences include Discharge,[24] Amebix,[25] Throbbing Gristle,[26] and the aforementioned Dirty Rotten Imbeciles.[26] Post-punk, such as Killing Joke[24] and Joy Division,[27] was also cited as an influence on early Napalm Death.
