Like Napalm Death? You'll Love Repulsion December 21, 2003
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
The Forefathers of Grindcore and the blast beat, Repulsion are one of the most important bands that no one's ever heard of. The song structures are short and straight forward. It sounds like utter chaos caught on tape but it all melds together coherently and powerfully. The drumming is simply groundbreaking since blast beats were simply non-existent before Horrified. The vocals are edgy and the lyrics are offensive. The guitar work simply shreds. I always touted Napalm Death for being the originals in the genre of grindcore but after finally getting my hands on Horrified it is clear that even ND were greatly inspired by this underground masterpiece. Even down to the way Repulsion scrawled their logo, ND imitated! So anyway, this is an absolute must-own for any metal historian or grindcore afficiando, especially remastered and with the additional disc with rarities and demos all at a great price. Best songs: The Stench of Burning Death, Black Breath, Acid Bath and Maggots in your Coffin. Highly Recommended.
The true creators and legends of Grind January 12, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
As much as I love Napalm Death and the like, it's really these guys who are the true innovators and kings of grind. They took their love for the best of punk (Discharge, DRI) and the best of extreme metal (Slayer, Celtic Frost, and Slaughter) to create a musical genre that would knock the metal underground on it's f*cking *ss. Afterall it's these guys who were the first to do it and the one's who invented the BLAST BEAT! But what will really catch a metal aficionado's fancy are the f*cking riffs. See folks the problem sometimes in grindcore (like on Scum) is that sometimes the band has the desire to be as extreme as possible that the forget the value of the riff but the boys of Repulsion never ever forgot that and that's what I praise them the most for. They even throw in some solos which were definitely the Slayer-esque bunny-in-a-blender style and it sounds great. What makes the riffs so good are the inherent catchiness of them despite their uncompromising rawness. Some great examples of this would be Radiation Sickness, Maggots In Your Coffin, and Black Breath. I dare you to listen to "Maggots" and not do a frenzied headbang while shouting along with the catchy chorus. What's amazing about Black Breath is that it's one of the slowest grind songs ever but one of the best!
Of course what's a Horrified review without mentioning it's massive influence. This has to be one of the most ripped-off extreme metal albums I've ever heard. I mean even the first time I listened to this I was like "dude there's a Carcass riff! Wait there's ND riff! There's another!" and so on and so on. But one of the biggest culprits are Entombed of all people. It was because of Repulsion they were able to create the almighty Left Hand Path. Just to push this point further here's some specific examples- listen to the riff in Festering Boils then listen to Carcass's Reek of Putrefaction (the song), the beginning of "Bodily Dismemberment" is EXACTLY the same as the beginning of the title track on Left Hand Path, I don't blame them though since Repulsion had a real knack for writing some of the sickest intro riffs ever. I could go on but you get my drift.
What also stands out here are the lyrics, yes for today's standards they're not too intimidating but back then they were pretty insane, perfectly blending a touch of cartoony/chessiness and realism in them. The band themselves even stated that they were purely for humor only and they certainly add a fun element to the album. Oh I can't forget the vocals, they're very raw and raspy, quite unique for grindcore.
In a nutshell the band was trying to be over the top in every aspect and they're perhaps the one band to encompass everything that's "over the top" and still make a brilliant album. And to imagine these were just four crazy kids (from Michigan of all places!) who were just willing to be a tad more adventurous than everyone else and look what happened. This is of course mandatory purchase for extreme metal fans as this is one of the best grind albums ever, it deserves all the praise it gets. It's also perfect for people justing getting into grindcore. However, if I had just one complaint about this it would be the production which does sound sweet even if the whole thing is of "demo" quality, but judging from ND's sick cover of "Maggots" I know this would sound even BETTER if it had better production and then I'd probably think this was the best record ever made. I'm still giving this a high 96% though.
Everyone seems to have a different set of highlights and here's mine - Radiation Sickness, Splattered Cadavers, Six Feet Under, Maggots In Your Coffin, and my fave Black Breath.
Repulsion's "Horrified" is still horrifying March 17, 2003
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Well here it is! The long-awaited proper re-issue of Repulsion's legendary "Horrified" album. What kind of introduction could possibly do justice to the most influential Grindcore/Death Metal band of all time? Repulsion is the band that introduced to insane blasting drums, bone-jarring distroted bass, and the most vile lyrics imaginable. "Horrified" is a genre-pioneering masterpiece that has influenced almost every band playing Grindcore/Death Metal, most notably Napalm Death, Carcass, Terrorizer, Entombed, Cannibal Corpse, and Mortician. This album has it all; the unreal "The Stench of Burning Death", "Maggots In Your Coffin." Need to hear tunes that start as mid-paced fashion before cultimating in delirium-inducing total crunchy speed? Try the awesome "Boldy Dismemberment" and "Festering Boils." You want slower grinding (and I mean grinding! ) What about "Black Breath" ?! This beautifully re-issue comes with an amazing booklet filled with rare photos, liner notes, and a well-written bibography of Repulsion. The tracks include:Disc One:
- The entire "Horrified" album Disc Two:
- Genocide Rehersal demo
- Genocide "Violent Death" demo
- Genocide WFBE Radio demo
- Genocide Live 5/14/86
- Repulsion "Excrutiation" EP/Demo
- Repulsion 1991 Final demos What really makes this album special is all the rare genocide (pre-Repulsion) demos and as well as the last Repulsion demos before they called it quits. One of the best 2-Disc sets I have put my money down. If you really want to know where it all started, then look no further than this. Buy it NOW!!! "You are rotting, maggots in your coffin!"

Its about time this has been re-released,This band formally
known as Genocide influenced the entire genre, they along
with Siege basically invented blastbeats. From the opening
track 'The Stench of Burning Death' to the closer ' Horrified'
This lp rips-Very fast,heavy and with no compromise. The
second disc contains demos,live tracks(2) and rarities including
their last demo and 7". This band was creating brutal music
when the brutal bands of today were playing with tonka trucks.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED-GET IT.

This is a mindblasting slab of crust-punk/grindcore with a bit of crunchy thrash riffage....awesome, well worth your money if you love old school thrash, crust-punk, dis-punk, or grindcore.
