Magrudergrind is an American grindcore[1] and powerviolence band formed in 2002. They have released numerous splits and two full-length albums. Since its inception the band has toured Europe and North America multiple times, Puerto Rico, Japan, and South East Asia, along with Exhumed, Despise You, Misery Index, Unholy Grave, Phobia and Rotten Sound.

In 2007, Magrudergrind released their first full length, Rehashed, on Six Weeks Records. In 2009, Magrudergrind's second full-length, self-titled record was released on Willowtip Records, engineered by Kurt Ballou (Converge, Misery Index, Torche) and mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Phobia). During 2010, Magrudergrind appeared at the Scion Rock Festival in Ohio in March, the Maryland Deathfest, Memorial Day weekend and Hellfest in Clisson, France in June 2010. Magrudergrind also appeared at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas, and European metal festivals in the Netherlands, Portugal and Czech Republic, including the Obscene Extreme festival.

In 2010, Magrudergrind released the Crusher EP on Scion Audio/Visual[2] in America and on Bones Brigade Records and RSR in Europe. In 2012 this will be re-released on To Live a Lie Records in the United States.

In 2013, they appeared in an episode of Veep titled "Nicknames". They performed onstage and were described as an extreme metal band. In February 2015, the band signed to Relapse Records, and announced that they planned to release another full-length at the end of 2015.[3]
