ACxDC Antichrist Demoncore


Since their very inception, ACxDC have been criticized by a small, but extremely vocal sect for being "false grindcore," (Just visit any of their facebook events to see the bizarre and hilarious non–ironic attacks on their status as a band.)

Well, you know what– ACxDC isn't "true grindcore" and thank God for that. If you look at the grindcore originators– Siege, Repulsion, Napalm Death, Extreme Noise Terror, and Carcass– each of them saw grindcore as way to break the rules. That is, grindcore, or whatever each band respectively called it at the time, was a way to break free of standard punk song structure and examine tension, contrast, and unpredictability in music without the constraints of 4/4 time signature. That is, grindcore was an abandonment of the rules, not an outline of them. In fact, if you look at each of the originators, each of them have made music far beyond the narrow strip that is considered modern grindcore. The message is clear– grindcore has a code and that code is you can do anything to make interesting music....by JohnGentile
