# Noisegrind

**Noisegrind** is a metal fusion genre, formative in the late 1980s. TheMetalNet maps 26 bands and 70 albums under it.

Noisegrind is grindcore pushed to near-formlessness — ultra-short, chaotic blasts of distorted riffing, screamed vocals, and blast beats with melody and structure stripped away entirely. Boston’s Anal Cunt were the definitive act, often recording songs mere seconds long amid walls of feedback and noise. The style prizes shock, brevity, and abrasiveness over musicianship. It sits at the harshest, most confrontational edge of grind.
