When Death Metal met Hardcore Punk, Grindcore showed up like an illegitimate offspring, burning and moshing around like no one's business, not bothering the conventions set up by their previous circles. Death Metal's growl and schlock gets absorbed into simple 2 minute long, anti-establishment punk rock power chord rampage and drumming started to have more in common with athletics rather than your conventional beat. However, there is still an innate desire for punk rockers to pour their Discharge influence in their metal. Here in this track is the example when blast beats take a back seat and angry d-beat drumming, leading the track into a mish mash of Death Metal overcoat on a Hardcore Punk track. This sounds like the missing link between modern Grindcore and 80s Death Metal. A retro-outlook if conventional punk (yes, I know how the word punk and conventional is contradictory) still had a hand in the Grindcore broth.
