Grime

Grime is a pummeling Swedish death metal/grindcore act that's been blasting eardrums since their formation in Gothenburg circa 2010. Known for their raw, filth-caked sound that blends crust punk ferocity with doom metal's suffocating weight, they've carved a niche in the extreme music underground with releases like *Deteriorate* (2015) and *Circle of Molesters* (2016). Their self-titled 2020 album *Grime* doubled down on their signature mix of breakneck blasts and swampy, mid-tempo sludge, earning nods from fans of acts like Nails and Trap Them. While notoriously tight-lipped about their personal lives, the band maintains a DIY ethos, frequently collaborating with underground labels and artists to keep their sound viciously unpolished.
