Punk and metal had a baby, then put it in a blender set to purée.
means An extreme music genre that fuses hardcore punk's speed and aggression with heavy metal's distortion and growled vocals, typically built on blast beats and songs so short they barely qualify as songs.
from Coined in the mid-1980s by musicians in the UK extreme-music scene (the band Napalm Death and figures around them are usually credited with popularizing the term), fusing 'grind' — slang for relentless, grinding noise and effort — with 'core,' the suffix borrowed from hardcore punk to signal an even more extreme offshoot. The name itself describes the sound: instruments pushed past melody into a grinding wall of noise.
