Origin: USA (Seattle)
Blackout grind? Yeah, it's a made-up subgenre, but I think it sounds cool and gives a hint of the band's atmosphere. Skarp takes a crusty punk song structure and drops the bottom out with mammoth heaviness you won't believe. The female vocalist is "singing like I'm from Sweden," with fitting harshness for a grind act. As you can see from the album cover this release has a somewhat silly theme of suicide, making this kind of like the punk equivalent of DSBM, though of course there are the usual anarchist lyrical themes as well.

I'm no grind fan but I love Seattle and everything hailing from it. Will have to check it for that reason alone!
I don't think this is typical grind at all, though some appreciation for fast and abrasive music is probably required.
