Its beginnings can be placed with the band [[Carcass (band)|Carcass]] who began their career in the late 1980s. The genre has, however, changed from the original archetype offered by Carcass, who were influenced by the [[hardcore punk]] and [[thrash metal]] popular in the 1980s underground scene. Carcass used pitch shifters, medical imagery and a host of other 'visceral' associations when they originally conceived the band, a deviation from the frequently political or left wing lyrics commonly used in the hardcore and grindcore scenes. An example of their lyrics can be seen below:

<blockquote>

:''{{quotation|An abrasive concoction is formed in my throat''<br><br>Methylated bile, jaundiced kidneys bloat<br><br>Tumorous stomach, coughing up gall<br><br>The thorax infected with furuncles and boils}}

:''Methylated bile, jaundiced kidneys bloat''

:''Tumorous stomach, coughing up gall''

:''The thorax infected with furuncles and boils''

</blockquote>

The band's other lyrics were similarly awash with complicated medical terms and stomach-churning bodily functions. Until their middle period where more focus on technicality and [[Heavy Metal music|heavy metal]] with a variety of other styles, changed their sound.
