Pornogrind, also known as porno grind, porno-grind or porn grind is a musical subgenre of grindcore and death metal,[1][2] which lyrically deals with sexual themes.[3][4] The genre, along with deathgrind, is related to the goregrind subgenre, and has been described by Zero Tolerance as "the most downright perverted of the lot, often adding a dollop of filthy groove and vocals straight from the gutter."[5] Natalie Purcell however, in her book Death Metal Music: The Passion and Politics of a Subculture, suggests that pornogrind is defined solely on the basis of its lyrical content and unique imagery, its focus on pornographic content.[2] Purcell does note however that bands like Gut include "simpler, slower, and more rock-like songs". The artwork for pornogrind bands' abums is noted for its extreme and potentially offensive nature, which "would keep them out of most stores."[4]
Other notable bands of the genre include The Meat Shits, Cock and Ball Torture, Dead, Lividity and Waco Jesus.[2][5][6][7][8]
