Slave to the Grind

Director
Doug Brown
Certificate
TBA
Running Time
100 mins

A loud and aggressive fusion of punk and metal, often with a pronounced social conscience, grindcore went overground in 1986 when Birmingham’s very own, rather fabulous Napalm Death released their Peel-endorsed Scum album.

Canadian director Doug Brown explores the genre’s 35 year history and continuing appeal in this fascinating documentary.
