Guttural slamming brutal death metal bands

The Chinese godfathers of slam, TianjinвЂ™s The Dark Prison Massacre, have been at it since 2005, cementing a name for themselves as a must-see band if you ever visit China. Have a listen and shout вЂњNIU BIвЂќ (fucking awesome) at your computer screens as I recap five of the most brutal bands China has to offer. While the genres of slam, grindcore and brutal death metal are not as popular in China as folk, thrash or death metal, there is still a scene that is very much active with fans who are enthusiastic about the most extreme sounds a guitar, bass, drums and a vocalist can produce.

At shows such as this one, just a few dozen people out of the 20+ million who live in Beijing could take inspiration from one another and exchange ideas amidst the countryвЂ™s notorious environment of censorship, participating in the darker, more extreme side of ChinaвЂ™s musical underbelly. The group is Chinese pornogrind bandВ CaveВ HaveВ Rod, who have since disbanded, but plenty of footage of their antics remains (search for their set at the Obscene Extreme festival). As the performance goes on, the singerвЂ™s clothes come off, and by the last song only a pair of little boy undies and a tampon stuck up his ass remain.

His bandmates wear matching blood-soaked maxi pads on their faces like Bane-styled anti-germ masks. A vocalist wearing a tight blue gown and an inflated rubber lifesaver from the kidвЂ™s swimwear section of Wal-Mart prances onto the stage and starts dancing wildly, yipping lyrics and grinding the mic stand like itвЂ™s a steel phallus.
