Started getting into grindcore, so if anyone wants to recommend some good bands please do so.
So far I have listened to Axegrinder, which is an awesome band. I have also listened to Cattle Decapitation, which is also another pretty good band. Nasum is just f*cking amazing. Love them. Right now I'm downloading Carcass and then I plan on downloading Napalm Death.

Sorry for taking so long.
You got the top three in their already, as far as I'm concerned. Carcass, Nasum and Napalm Death are the best in the genre, though I prefer Napalm's more straight-up DM albums.
Carcass is simply amazing, from one of the best gore-grind groups around to a straight grind band and then becoming a solid, impressive Death Metal group. If you need recommendations, get Reek of Putrefaction and Heartwork, their two best albums (Reek is goregrind and Heartwork is a straight-up Death Metal album, in case you were wondering) although you can find their "Greatest Hits" album Choice Cuts for about the same price. It just doesn't include their best songs and most of it is taken up with crappy sounding demos rather than album songs. Nasum is simply outstanding, with a slight Death Metal influence but still solid grindcore. I've been wondering when you would get into them, I figured you would've been there a long time ago. Napalm you already know. Cattle Decapitation is a great group, I really like them. I have To Serve Man and Humanure, and they're both great albums, and I've been hearing a lot of great things about Karma.Bloody.Karma but haven't picked it up yet.
As for other groups you might like, try Agoraphobic Nosebleed, A.C., The County Medical Examiners, Cephalic Carnage and Lockup.

Yea, I downloaded Carcass' discography and they are awesome. Need to buy these albums. Can't believe I didn't get into Nasum earlier also.
Oh and Karma Bloody Karma is a great album man.
Been meaning to check out Agoraphobic Nosebleed. I read about A.C. and although their lyrics are meant to be taken as a joke, I can't really get into that.

The only one I would be weary about getting from Carcass is Choice Cuts, as it's a Greatest Hits album that I feel doesn't include their best songs, and the new stuff is just crappy live and demo songs. I feel it's not worth it when a regular album does it much better.
I just threw A.C. out there, didn't know if you would like them or not.
Oh, and I forgot to add General Surgery, Terrorizer and Extreme Noise Terror to the list. Other great grind bands, though Terrorizer and ENT are pretty much the same group of people. It's all incenstuous, I guess.

Here, let me put it another way: if the band features a current or past member of Napalm Death, check them out. Like Black Metal, they all have side projects that are pretty much the same thing, so that's a great place to start.

Early Napalm Death and Carcass are key. Carcass was solid through Necroticism, but after that they got way too mainstream for my tastes. AS I'm sure you know, Napalm Death's Scum is the quintissential grindcore album. You also might wanna check out some early Bolt Thrower, though it isn't strictly speaking grindcore. As for A.C. I think that they are a lot of fun and I offer you liberal absolution if you elect to check them out

Say that again. In English preferably.

Yea. A.C. just sounds retarded to me. Even if music like that is a joke, I just can't really stand listening to it. Plus, the singer of A.C. also made a band called Vaginal Jesus which was on a white power label, so the guy seems a little weird.

Good thing I don't have any of their albums. I would've given them up if I did. That's something I don't approve of, and I tolerate a lot.

A blessing for a shred of decency and moral values.
