RazorRape is a Swedish extreme metal band formed in 2004, primarily associated with the goregrind and porngrind subgenres. Founded by Martin Schonherr, a veteran of the Swedish death metal scene through his work with Deranged, the band evolved from a raw demo project into a staple of the Rotten Roll Rex label roster.
Their sound identity is characterized by a blend of traditional death metal riffing, grindcore's brevity and speed, and the specific aesthetic markers of porngrind, including pitch-shifted vocals and shock-value lyrical themes. Critically, they are viewed as a bridge between the more technical Swedish death metal tradition and the chaotic, DIY ethos of the international grindcore underground. Their career arc shows a steady refinement in production quality, moving from the 15-hour 'Deep Red' EP session to more robust full-lengths like 'Fucked Beyond Recognition.' They occupy a specific cultural niche within the 'extreme music' festival circuit, appealing to collectors of underground physical media and fans of transgressive art.
