Repulsion

Pioneering American grindcore band

Repulsion is an influential band in the extreme metal genre, particularly known for their pioneering work in grindcore. The band was originally formed in Flint, Michigan, in 1984 under the name Genocide before eventually changing their name to Repulsion. Their most notable album, "Horrified," was recorded in 1986 but wasn't officially released until 1989 by Necrosis Records, a label owned by members of Carcass. The album has since been hailed as a classic within the genre, with its raw sound, blast beats, and growling vocals influencing countless bands within the realms of grindcore and death metal. Repulsion's impact on extreme music is significant despite their limited discography, and they are often cited alongside other pioneering acts like Napalm Death and Terrorizer for shaping the sound of early grindcore. After a period of inactivity, Repulsion has performed at various festivals and events, solidifying their status as cult legends within the metal community.
