I think it's the way that DM has such a vein of creativity that it makes the music more disconcerting and causes it to feel like a more genuine form of violence. Grindcore can be very redundant and that lessens it imo. Kind of like the difference between a shooting at an armed robbery and a twisted serial killer with motives deeper than just killing a witness. Of course there's an abundance of crossover between the genres so maybe we're seeing the same thing.
