Goregrind is a fusion genre of grindcore and death metal. British band Carcass are commonly credited for the emergence of the genre. Goregrind is recognizable by its heavily edited, vocals, abrasive musicianship rooted in grindcore, and lyrical emphasis on gore, death, pathology, and rape.
Zero Tolerance described goregrind as being defined by "detuned guitars, Blast beat drums (sometimes with a high-tuned, clanging 'biscuit tin' snare drum sound), sickening lyrics and often heavily processed/distorted vocals.""Grind Prix" (2005). Zero Tolerance #004, p. 46. Goregrind bands commonly use extremely low or vocals. The lyrics' subject matter often features violent themes including Graphic violence, forensic pathology, death, and rape. Lyrics sometimes have a clear tongue-in-cheek Z-grade Horror movie feel and are not expected to be taken seriously. Cyjan, former drummer for Polish goregrind band Dead Infection, commented, "Musically, there's no real difference between grindcore and goregrind, but lyrically, whereas the first is socially and politically concerned, goregrind, as the name implies, deals with everything related to blood, pathological aspects or accidents with fatal results." Jon Weiderhorn of Loudwire states: "Goregrind knows no limits and the lyrics are filled with depictions of brutal misogyny, torture and horrific murder and infestations many find offensive and repellant. Those with weak stomachs should steer clear of the horrors within."
