The Sound of Swedish Grindcore

“The Sound of Swedish Grindcore” brings together a fierce lineup of bands that helped shape and define Sweden’s contribution to the grindcore scene. From the precise brutality of Nasum’s “Inhale / Exhale” and Gadget’s relentless “Intenso” to the tongue-in-cheek aggression of Birdflesh’s “Gorespring,” this playlist captures a wide scope of grind—from the razor-sharp political violence of The Arson Project and Afgrund, to the gore-soaked blasts of Regurgitate and General Surgery.

Listeners can dive into everything from cold, metallic grind assaults by Axis of Despair and Walking Corpse, to more punk-fueled entries by Sayyadina, Järnbörd, and Livet som insats. There's also room for strange detours into deathgrind (Necrony, Nekrosity), crusty noise (Öldöds, Bingo), and warped, experimental blasts by the likes of Crowpath, Tellusian, and Henry Kane. A grind mix grounded in chaos, distortion, and speed—with a uniquely Swedish edge.
