Hardcore's been around since the 80's, which is not before Cannibal Corpse . . .as for the rest of it, I don't know. I do know that Cannibal Corpse is grindcore, probably one of the best known grindcore bands around.

Woo, I remember the first time I heard them. It's rather sweet, actually. I was in eight grade and absolutely adored this one boy and one day we were all sitting in a circle listening to music and he's like, "hey, what are you listening to?" and I'm all like, "60's hippie music!" and he's like, "Listen to this," and I did and his headphones smelt like him and at first I was like, "Oh wow, this is great," just to impress him . . . but after five minutes, I actually listened and really meant it when said, "This *really* is great!"
Im sorry but if you compare C.C. to the likes of Pig Destroyer, Dillenger Escape Plan, and the like, there are FAR too many dissimilarites. When compared to death metal, and other such metals, cannibal corpse falls much further on that side. Growling vs. yelling, guitar metal solos vs. "grinding" riffs, even the drumming.

I cant see how you would call Cannibal Corpse grindcore, thats like calling Morbid Angel grindcore, or Six Feet Under, i believe the genre's are different. Just MHO.
