Repulsion - Horrified




This was a re-released by Relapse records from the original 1986 full lenght of these Grindcore pioneer - Repulsion. Taking influence from such reknowned extreme metal bands like Possessed and Celtic Frost, as well as the hardcore of Discharge and Agnostic Front, and topping it off with a lyrical gangbang of blood, guts, zombies and gore, Repulsion turned all the knobs up to 11 and recorded an album of some of the fastest, most aggressive, blistering, face-melting music of all time. Repulsion were mentioned as the first band who played grindcore music together with S.O.B ( Japan) and Napalm Death. This was also an album that created the proto gore grind and the album that influenced the future generation of death metal bands. This is Repulsion’s Horrified. Back in 1986 these guys were probably the most extreme thing on the Earth and their previous demos were a complete innovation for malevolence, putridity and speed. Nobody played like them in that period. Carcass and Napalm Death were still punkish in their style, while the only band that was close to them were Terrorizer, but they were not so rotten. This entire album is in fact the soundtrack to the impending death of mankind. With excellent and erratic solos, which can only be found in 80's death/grind.What more needs to be said? It’s a grindcore album. This was what grindcore was meant to sound like. Gritty and raw as possible with short, sudden bursts of energy. If you already claim yourself as a grinder, then this one would be a must have for you.
