Stenchcore, a grimy subgenre of crust punk that emerged in the mid-1980s, fuses the raw, aggressive energy of traditional punk with the heavy, distorted sound of metal. Characterized by its apocalyptic and dystopian lyrical themes, stenchcore bands deliver a relentless onslaught of abrasive riffs, thunderous rhythms, and guttural vocals, all cloaked in a visceral, sometimes sludgy atmosphere that evokes the grime and decay of a society in decline. Steeped in DIY ethics and an anti-establishment stance, the genre's aesthetic is often reflected in its rough, lo-fi production and stark, black-and-white artwork, conveying a sense of urgency and visceral rebellion against the status quo. With its powerful blend of punk's snarling intensity and metal's crushing weight, stenchcore leaves a lasting impression of rebellion and decay.
