Deathgrind (also known as death-grind and death/grind) is a mixture of the intensity, speed, and brevity of grindcore and the complexity of death metal. It differs from death metal in that solos are often a rarity, and songs are generally shorter in length, usually between one and three minutes, and differs from grindcore in the far more technical approach and less evident hardcore punk influence. It is important to note that the genre does not include grindcore groups that later became death metal groups, such as Carcass and Napalm Death, though the latter's latest offerings, The Code Is Red...Long Live the Code and Smear Campaign, may be considered deathgrind albums.
