Napalm Death with Pig Destroyer, Primitive Man, and more

Pig Destroyer, formed in 1997 in Alexandria, VA, pioneered East Coast grindcore with intense, bass-less chaos. Signed to Relapse, their landmark 2001 album "Prowler in the Yard" saw collaborations with bands like Converge. Their sound evolved from grindcore to doom-sludge, adding bassist John Jarvis and experimental elements in albums like "Head Cage." Consistent East Coast tours and splits with bands like Orchid and Isis expanded their influence.

Wormrot, a grindcore band from Singapore, gained fame with their 22-minute album "Abuse". Known for a bassless setup and powerful EPs like "Dead", they've evolved their sound across albums like "Dirge" and "Voices", signing with Earache Records.
