Grind 'n' roll band from Aalst in East Flanders, formed in 2019, blending the chaotic brevity of grindcore with the groove-laden swagger of rock and roll. Their playfully aggressive approach creates an energetic hybrid that refuses to take itself too seriously.
SpecialxDelivery deliver grindcore and death metal from Prague, combining the genres' most extreme elements into short, explosive bursts. Their straightedge-style "x" naming convention hints at a hardcore punk influence underlying their extremity.
Spineless Fuckers grind through their namesake genre from Brno, channeling the aggressive, anti-establishment spirit of grindcore since 2012. Their confrontational name sets the tone for music that favors raw intensity over polish.
Halifax's Splatter Brain grind through a nasty intersection of death metal and grindcore. Since 2018, their short, sharp bursts of extremity have made them fixtures of the West Yorkshire heavy underground.
Voghera's SplatterGoat merge death metal and grindcore from the Lombard plains since 2014. Their goat-splatter imagery channels deliberately grotesque aesthetics into short, punishing bursts of extremity.
SSS (Short Sharp Shock) formed in Liverpool, England in 2005, delivering a high-velocity crossover thrash sound shaped equally by hardcore punk, thrash metal, and grindcore. Signing to Earache Records, the band released The Dividing Line (2008) and Problems to the Answer (2011) before concluding their career with Limp. Gasp. Collapse. (2014) on Prosthetic Records. SSS operated at the more abrasive end of the British crossover revival, with a commitment to brevity and brutality that aligned them with the grindcore underground as much as the thrash audience. The band subsequently went on indefinite hold.
Rome's Staccionata pair grindcore with stoner metal since 2026. Their Italian name meaning "fence" and unlikely genre fusion create one of the more idiosyncratic combinations in the Roman underground.
Novokuznetsk's Steak Chaos pair death metal and grindcore from the Kemerovo region's steel city since 2008. Their absurdist carnivorous name and industrial origins channel meat-themed mayhem into nearly two decades of extreme compositions.
Donetsk's Steak with Blood pair death metal and grindcore from the conflict-zone city since 2012. Over a decade from the Donbas capital, their culinary-gore name has channeled the rawness of undercooked flesh into compositions of visceral extremity.
