Not enough posts in this thread. Powerviolence is clearly the best extreme metal/punk genre ever, and so you're a bitch if you don't like it. Post your ****. Yacopsae, Nails, Magrudergrind, Despise You, thedowngoing, Fuck on the Beach, Charles Bronson, Crom, The Endless Blockade. All clearly the best bands you've never heard.

Eat it, bitch.

What's the difference between Crust and Powerviolence? I've never really heard any major differences.

Crust punk is basically thrash metal

Oh, and just to expand on my previous, unhelpful post: while I'm really not up on crust punk, Mondo's post seems accurate to early crust (such as Discharge) while later crust (such as Extreme Noise Terror) seems to me like proto-grind hardcore bands with metal riffs -- grind being the next extreme step up from crust, but with death metal influences, with death metal bands being crust and hardcore influenced thrash bands... so who the **** knows what genre is what? -- whereas PV sounds like crust that attained grind extremeness without incorporating metal riffs and metal whatnot.

*fucking shrug*


Also, I've been digging some Crom, but couldn't think of any single video(s) to post that would encompass what the band was all about. You really have to hear an actual album to appreciate what sets them apart from their contemporaries since they weren't necessarily the top dogs of pure PV. They were just a good powerviolence band who made an album (and then another one six years later) that was powerviolence interspersed with countless, hilarious samples that made for a tongue-in-cheek, possibly satirical, kinda-sorta-masterpiece of jokey extreme music.

I haven't listened to their earlier, nineties comp appearances and the one split with Despise You, but The Cocaine Wars 1974-1989 is a must for any PV fan or lover of non-serious extreme music. An antidote, if you will, to Man the Bastard's intellectual, hipster-friendly PV for people who don't wanna listen to more than one PV band (not to knock MItB, but the preceding statement is still true). Just... here... in all its idiot glory...





You're welcome.

It did. I've been busy though. Never been that into Iron Lung. Don't know why, but they just don't quite do it for me.

I already dig Combatwoundedveteran, Gasp, and Wormrot (from exploring grind, Japan does everything right). And know about Hellnation and Hatred Surge, though I'm not too too familiar with them.

I'm still treating your recs as gold. Don't worry.
