first of all, if you want to listen to grindcore AVOID death, they are death metal, technical death metal to be more precise, bunch of solos and tempo changes.
the basic most essential grind bands:
napalm death (FIRST TWO ALBUMS ONLY)
carcass (first two albums, starters of death/grind and gore/grind)
terrorizer
anal cunt (especially their earlier stuff)
brutal truth
nasum
DISCORDANCE AXIS
pig destroyer
fear of god
siege
ganglia (digigrind)
s.o.b.
second of all, i grew up on thrash and still listen to a fair amount of it, i mean, i go nuts with municipal waste and they don't play a single original note, it's all straight up 80's thrash.
dude, a couple of weeks ago i was going to see kreator, probably this saturday i'm seeing celtic frost and there's a chance i might get to see sodom in november. among the living is amazing, a couple of months ago i even broke out master of puppets (still rules) and slayer is my favorite live band besides sonic youth...hell!!! just last week i rocked dark angel's darkness descends.
i think, later today, i'll be spinning coroner's mental vortex, it's been a while.
if your question was, why i play in a grindcore band (and "grindcore" being a very loose term here) and not a thrash band, a) grindcore is more suitable for a one man band, b) there's not much room to improve over thrash, the only thing to do is pull a municipal waste, c) because grind is more of a challenge and more open to experimentation and d) because it's a lot more fun to play riffs over blastbeats, trying to keep up, than playing parallel guitar melodies.
that said, i think monosodic is equal parts grind and no wave, plus other shit in there.
