Powerviolence (sometimes written as power violence) is a raw and dissonant subgenre of hardcore punk. The style is closely related to thrashcore and grindcore. In contrast with grindcore which is a crossover idiom containing musical aspects of heavy metal powerviolence is just an augmentation of the most challenging qualities of hardcore punk; like its predecessor it is usually socio-politically charged and iconoclastic.
