Hi! This is a friendly introduction to goregrind and pornogore the way I would describe it to someone interested. While it might seem a bit repulsive, meaningless, waste of time, energy and utterly insane, you might even take a liking to it after this article and some time spent with it alone. So let's jump right into this short article!
What is Goregrind? What is pornogore?
Low tuned or untuned guitars? Check.
Fuzzy, distorted bass? Check.
Blast beats? Check.
Gutteral vocals? Check.
Pig squeals? Check.
Pitch shifter? Check.
Samples? Check.
Groove? Check.
Under three minutes? Check.
Silly lyrics which you will never decipher? Check.
If the music you are listening to has at least 3 of the above, chances are you're listening to goregrind or pornogore.
Goregrind is basically grindcore with gory lyrical themes and over the top guttural vocals while pornogore is a more groove orientated, slower kind of goregrind with obvious lyrical themes. Think of it as death metal meets punk meets everything cheap slasher movies want to be.
So how to get into goregrind and pornogore?
First of all - quality is the name of the game (just bear with me please). You can find quite a lot of goregrind and pornogore bands that sound boring and have sh-t production a.k.a. DIY in your room/garage/basement. That's the way it is since most of those bands probably don't even take themselves seriously (and yes, there is a certain level of seriousness required for anything you do, even goregrind!). The genre is a joke, the music is a joke, the bend is a joke. And that is fine, really, taking your goregrind and pornogore too seriously means you will probably do something insane from the lyrics of one of the songs you've heard recently. Not cool. But, there is a certain level of seriousness required for anything you do, even goregrind! I used C&P on that last sentence.
So, let's assume we've found a band we like that isn't sh-t. What do we listen to and how do we listen to this garbage, how do we reach that feeling of sonic pleasure while our ears are being raped by demonic pig with a mic and a pitch shifter?
First tip - relax. Don't try to grasp the meaning of lyrics or the song structure. Go with the flow. Try to feel the groove since most of goregrind and pornogore is based on groove. Listen to the drums that drive the bass. Listen to the heavy bass that drives the rest of the band. Laugh to the funny vocals. Laugh to the sloppy guitars. Ohh, right, the band we picked isn't sh-t. No sloppy guitars here (or yes if you like them).
Example of a nice groovy song:
Things you shouldn't do include getting all tense, being sceptical, having high expectations of band's musical prowness, playing it load in a public space and if you live in America posting the song's lyrics to a social network.
Next thing that needs to be mentioned (again) is fun. This is fun music. Yes. It is. Vomiting, farting, raping, mutilation, genital accidents and meals that taste like STD are fun. I guess?
Don't take it too seriously. There is no deep meaning behind it. It is sort of on a level of disco dance music. It doesn't convey emotions or any of that artistic crap. It is not embedded into some philosophical universe which is inside of another universe which is inside of your spirit. It makes people dance. People like to dance. That's it.
Example of fun - check it out here.
Final thing that you should do is search the web (YouTube) for some bands. You can find real gems if you look hard enough. I will post few songs and bands below for you guys to check out. These are both some of my favourite and some that are considered "classics" - and are totally part of my opinion on goregrind and pornogore.
Also, check out OEF. It's Obscene Extreme Festival that's held worldwide and has grindcore, goregrind, pornogore, power-violence, punk, crust, thrash, death, blackned thrash and that sort of bands playing. And boy, is it a party or not (check it out! Go #swagobeypornopartygoregrind).
Gutalax is a bit more slower and groovy band from Czech Republic. CR probably has the strongest gore/porno scene together with Mexico and/or Spain.
Jig-Ai is more brutal than Gutalax. It often features blast beats and really over-the-top vocals and their riffs are tasty and groovy. Lots of death metal vibe can be found in their songs.
Check out another video here.
Another groovy band that makes your grandma wiggle her bottom.
For some reason I didn't really get into this band yet, but their live shows are fun.
This isn't really a goregrind or pornogore band but they are cool and you should check them out. #Dancemovesarereal
Side note: I highly recommend exploring all kinds of music. Metal is cool and metal is for life, but metal isn't all there is to music. Peace \m/

This really reads more as a parody article than a serious introduction to the style of music (arguments over whether or not the style even deserves a "serious" anything). It's amazing that the author failed to even acknowledge any of the pioneers of the style such as Carcass (how could you possibly not mention them here?), Dead Infection, General Surgery, Impetigo, Repulsion, Regurgitate, etc. There is also no mention of differences, both aesthetically and musically, between goregrind and earlier grindcore, with no mention of deathgrind to be found. All in all, this shows a complete lack of understanding. Now, I understand that some people might think that this is silly music, but it still deserves a serious attempt rather than some goofy "name shitty bands that sing about gross things" approach that is being used here.
