Powerviolence is a
hardcore punk sub-genre that shares many musical elements in common with
crust punk,
anarcho-punk, and
grindcore. Powerviolence is most similar to grindcore, but minus the
metal influence. Also known as
spazzcore, typical powerviolence songs are short (under a minute) and feature
frantic guitars, even more frantic vocals, and
hyper-speed drumming.
Some prominent powerviolence bands include:
Man is the Bastard
Charles Bronson
Infest
Antischism
Capitalist Casualties
Hellnation
CombatWoundedVeteran
Frodus
Spazz
Fuck On The Beach
