Unruh was a hardcore band from Arizona. They formed in 1995, out of the ashes of short-lived crust thrash band Uruk’Hai. They took their name from notorious murderer Howard Unruh, who killed thirteen people in one day. Unruh was born into a scene that the members of the band considered to be stagnant and uninteresting. They wanted to play intense, violent hardcore - but more than anything they wanted to play music that was interesting and powerful. They played music that is hard to classify into hardcore’s many sub-sub-genres, but under pressure I’d call it death metal-influenced hardcore. Amazing band, if you haven't heard them get on it asap.
"Creation is Crucifixion is a spectacle to generate discourse on what has become known as progress. The debates around technology exist within the walls of academia and by representing these ideas to a new audience we desire to renew the debate before the rhetoric maneuvers itself to the center of thought. We have no answers… only questions. Automata is conceptually rooted in our questioning of what in/describes life. Any correspondence regarding content is applauded. We are as you… tools of our tools." Half heavy, technical, metal. Half noise. Get everything now.

Pig Destroyer is a grindcore band based in Virginia, USA first formed in 1997. Combining old school grindcore with doom and thrash elements, Pig Destroyer have pushed the boundaries of the grind genre and gained a large following. Their unique sound is notable for its absence of bass guitar on their studio albums. One of the best grindcore bands of all time. Turn this shit all the way up and let your ears bleed.
Hewhocorrupts is a Chicago-based grindcore band most known for their songs mocking Metallica, making reference to the notorious allegations of the group having sold out. This jab of satire is carried through the entire band's style. Their own site refers to them as "Hewhocorrupts Megacorp.", and they appear in a costume of business suits and aviator sunglasses informally known as "hardcorporate". Members of the band were in the power violence/grindcore band Kungfu Rick and in Authority Abuse. I had the privledge of seeing these guys once in Indiana and they ruled. This is a collection of basically everything up to the point of it's release. Awesome grindcore, guns and roses covers, get this shit.
Based in Providence, RI, As The Sun Sets played a blistering amalgam of grind/metal influenced hardcore. Pre- Daughters. Really good grind mixed with awesome melodic instrumental breaks.
Assück was a grindcore band from St. Petersburg, Florida. They existed from 1987 to 1998. They were one of the most important North American grindcore bands and still have a strong cult following. Sometimes described as the best example of “hardcore kids playing death metal,” and they sound the part rather well, with very technical drumming, tuned-down guitars and gruff vocals.
