Formed in Lille, France in 1998, Gronibard play a gleefully offensive strain of goregrind delivered with studied irreverence, playing Maryland Death Fest in 2005 and touring Europe extensively in their early years. Their self-titled debut LP, released on Bones Brigade Records in 2001, established the band's taste for maximum volume and minimum propriety, followed by We Are French Fukk You before a fourteen-year recording gap ended with Regarde Les Hommes Sucer in 2022. The band operates under a rotating cast of deliberately cartoonish pseudonyms.
