It's pretty amazing that this album was recorded the same year that Metallica released "Master of Puppets" and Slayer released "Reign In Blood". Repulsion were so far ahead of their time.
All in the "tape-trading" era. Glad i saw slayer, Metallica and Napalm Death the first time they came to Holland. But Repulsion never toured over here in the time when death metal started...one of the few bands I missed from the Earache Grindcrusher album line-up.(Slayer and Metallica of course were no part of that album, I know...)
1986 was a pivotal year for extreme metal, beside the classics mentioned above you must add to the list Dark Angel - Darkness Descends and Nasty Savage's first album.
Juan Iparraguirre dude darkness descends pretty much kickstarted the whole death metal movement and may I add repulsion was one of the first bands to include horror themes in their lyrics which helped out which deathgrind
Grind has this weird effect on me, where it doesn’t get my adrenaline pumping, it puts me in a trance. I can put this on in the dark and just calmly go places. It’s fucking hypnotic.
People where freaking out when Rick James and Little Richard released their music. If you would distribute Grindcore back in that decade then you would get locked up for sure
+Alex Ritter The Futurists, Dadaists, practitioners of Musique Concrete and other avant garde styles of music of the day would probably yawn. The regular Joe, yeah. They'd freak.
All of that aside, I think this album is the lost jewel of the decade, in regards to intensity - it combines the speed of the fastest hardcore/punk with the dark influence of metal as its most formidable sub-genre, death metal, was coming into the fray. Amazing album! I was a kid living a few hours north of Flint at the time, too.
The whole album just has such an organic feel to the production and playing, and the venom meets terrorizer style is so fucking classic. More bands need to learn that simplifying riffs while keeping the fast pace works wonders.
I've always felt that virtuoso chops can actually interfere with the sacred business of rocking. Einstein said (& I'm paraphrasing) that any mediocre fool can make a thing more complicated, but only one touched by genius can SIMPLIFY things. I mean, Steve Vai can spew a million notes a second & play fuckin arpeggiated sweeps or something. But did he EVER write a song as iconic as "Blitzkrieg Bop"? I think not... & Joey Ramone, a songwriting genius, wrote his numbers on a 1-string guitar! Brilliant...
Practico skateboarding hace mas de 15 años y recuerdo que el año 2012 pase por un bajón anímico gigante sin trabajo, la mujer que me gustaba me utilizo, y ya casi ni usaba la patineta y pensé en retirarme del deporte, estaba super decaído y obeso ademas, y un dia me puse a leer sobre criticas de discos clásicos y llegue a la critica del horrified de repulsion y lo escuche y sentí un antes y un después, (sin exagerar,literalmente fue así!). me inyecte de energía y adrenalina para seguir adelante , esa velocidad, esa crudeza ochentera aun me vuelve loco y siempre me fascinara esta banda , ahora sigo haciendo deporte y ni mencionar lo obvio que escuchar esta banda me abrió la mente a la música extrema...desde ese punto de inflexión . Repulsion por siempre!!!! ♡
What a delightful coincidence, I love to sing along some noisecore featuring japanese porn samples while sitting in the garden with my fellow gentlemen having a fine cup of tea served by our dedicated sikh helper Marabtha Singh, twisting my mustache with my finger. And when comes the vomit samples , we all praise the Commonwealth and pray our Lord to save queen Victoria. .....wait, what the hell did I just drink? Mineral water? I must stop that at once.
Robert Ramsden I like to whistle along to this while I'm rollerblading. This cd rarely leaves the discman strapped to my hip but I keep disc 2 of rarities in my fanny pack just in case.
Just heard that i will lost my job next friday (29th) (shortage of work, not on my own will) so my natural reflex is to blast this gem in the office. Fuck 'em all !
this might be noise to certain people but nervetheless this record is one of THE key-records to all kinds of extreme subgenres. the way the record is produced has nothing such as bombastic, over-produced deathcore like auditions, BUT pure energy that holds on forever brought together by a minimalistic way of putting the record together. not to mention these songs and this band is as tight as a nun's puss...

Listening to this for the first time has pissed me off. I have liked all genres of thrash/death/grind/black metal, etc since the late 80s. I remember checking out the sleeve on this album back then and being interested but then always opting for a Bathory, Death Angel, Deicide, Napalm Death etc LP instead. I’ve missed out on over 30 years listening enjoyment to this classic!!!!!

My review on Allmusic written October 6, 2017. 5 Stars An undisputed Grindcore classic. Originally released in 1986 on cassette as Slaughter Of The Innocent, Repulsion's Horrified is among the very best albums of the genre. Great from beginning to end. Despite clearly rising from the Napalm Death school, Repulsion puts their very own stamp on Grindcore. A very powerful album from one of the legendary bands in all of punk and metal.
Warning: I listened to this album today at 1.25 speed during my workout and it was going great. However I got so into it, that I punched an elderly person in the face. I then realized I wasn’t even at the gym...
Top 2 Grind Albums Ever Put On Vinyl! Can't Tell Which zone is my Number One. But This Album Is The Fastest most Brutal Grind Death Crust What Ever You Want To Call It! Its Simply Incredible!
Dustin French I don't really like metal but I'm listening to this. I have a friend who I jam with and his favorite music is grindcore, and I'm really trying to find the appeal but I just don't really like it. He says he thinks it's an acquired taste.
Dustin French Could you recommend some metal subgenres for lightweight metal fans like myself to get into? I'm into just about every other genre of music, I'd love to find some metal I can really dig
Proto Grind at its finest, Repulsion and Siege and a few UK fastcore bands layed the ground work. Napalm death perfected it and pushed it to the masses. Sadly the rawness of grind really dissapeared with bands following the trending Florida death metal sounds. Shame because this sound is something truly unique. Dave grave and Mick the tornado Harris truly are some of the most influential people in all of metal also, how many modern bands and producers use the "Blast" nowadays... All because of these 2 men. Truly influential and both deserve to be put on a pedestal for years to come!
Not really a fan but I can understand the influence this band has. I would still listen to FETO and World Downfall any day. Even so, without Repulsion I doubt we would have had the bands which recorded those classics and I acknowledge that.
A big influence on Napalm Death & Carcass... grindcore was conceived in 1980s Flint, Michigan. Flint Rock City! Strange how a scabrous & extreme record by a gang of Flint youngsters managed to cross the pond & influence the Genesis of an entire genre. Small world, etc.
Napalm Death got me into grind, and the early stuff is classic grind, but I'd take Horrified over the Scum any day. It's just of the relentless nature of Repulsion that make them so great, and those killer raspy vocals.
There was no such thing as Grindcore in the eighties son....;) We were either hardcore or metal or both and we just got faster and faster. The label came afterwards.
Had to come here and repent after listening to a full Death Core song from some random band out of the million shitty Death Core bands, fuck, nothing like old school to clean my ears of the absolute shit.
Influential on most late 80s/early 90s Swedish death metal bands By both songwriting and guitar tone. This is proto Boss-HM2 cranked to 12 that Swedeath is known for This album and Slaughter’s Strappado
Reminds me a lot of Righteous Pigs "Stress Related" album! That album is masterpiece so it makes this great also. First time hearing Repulsion... i know but better late than never :) I also know Napalm Death really appreciates this band and took some influences from them as well.
it may not have "real" blastbeats (over 210 bpm) , but it´s still fast as fuck and the RIFFS .... the riffs are killer ! the vocals are really angry, the sound is lo-fi,but brutal. And in general, this straight-forward approach in the song-writing..."Radiation Sickness" for example: killer-riff follows killer-riff !
the neighbors just came home with their new born baby. I put my speakers to the wall of the apartment and blasted this. new born and already introduced to the good stuff. bless him.
@@vidabuena3589 May be, but to a lesser extent. Tom sounds somewhat gutteral, almost Death Metal like. But when I hear this guy, immediately a young Cronos comes to mind.
25 years later this is still the most brutal shit!!! FLINTSTONES FOREVER!!! Seeing them live in Flint was like having your face sandblasted by their sound!
+Randy Beltran A lot of modern metal bands could use a good dose of songwriting over high gloss production, this band has its writing down in spades, the riffs here are catchy as fuck and the transitions are pretty smooth for how "sloppy" this album is.
I first heard Repulsion on a Relapse Records promo cassette and was totally blown away by the rawness and ferocity. These tunes are absolute classics and have influenced so many other bands. When I eventually got hold of this album it made me a total convert to grindcore. Check out the earlier demos too for yet more auditory nirvana!
+Piers Bolton It all goes back to Siege. I say that because Napalm Death cite Siege as an influence, they were way into the demo tape. Pretty sure Deep Wound were earlier, but not as influential.
I came here just to listen to this superb Grindcore band. First heard em' on the Grindcrusher Album. Its entertaining how metal fans push back and make so many declarators of "they did this and influenced that...." They were just savagely brutal and we liked that. Cheers and goodnight.
This is fantastic, I love it. Felt a bit weird though when I was in the middle of skanking around the living room to Driven to Insanity when a Dunkin Donuts commercial suddenly came on. Guess I will have to buy this so that doesn't happen again
One day I may come back to this hyped as fuck, this genre requires repeat listening like nothing else to me. It took me two weeks before I finally liked Terrifyer by Pig Destroyer, even though I’d heard the whole thing like 5 times. 11 months later, I’m a Grind maniac and no one has seen my comment but me haha! Repulsion fucking rocks!
@@alleygh0st I give every band 3 chances, if it doesn’t stick by that point I give up. Music should be approached with an open mind, and sometimes I’m not in a mood for a certain album. I used to dislike Arise by Sepultura. I have it on vinyl and it’s one of my all time favs. Only because I came back and retried.
The original demo version definitely got around the metal underground starting in 86, though, due to tape trading. Chuck Schuldiner had it and tried to recruit the members of Repulsion to join Death based on what he heard on this tape.
It's pretty amazing that this album was recorded the same year that Metallica released "Master of Puppets" and Slayer released "Reign In Blood". Repulsion were so far ahead of their time.

Grindcore is not my favorite music style, but this opening riff 0:00 / 0:10 is one of the most iconic riffs of all times and heavy music.

Side B
10. Crematorium 01:30 Hide lyrics
Lined up on the road to death
Victims sure to die
Trapped in lives of living hell
Horror in their minds
Tyrants chose their destiny
Picked to die at birth
Bunred behind the concrete walls
Their screams are never heard
Flesh it burns and peels away
The blood boils in your veins
Inhale the smoke from burning flesh
Hear the screams of pain
Vomit as you start to die
Choking on the bile
Corpses hooked and dragged away
Thrown into the pile
Roasting in the crematorium, death is slow
Flames burn your fucking flesh to the bone

Sickening thoughts, your sould's in chains
Your rotted corpse brought to life again
Brain is dead but your instincts alive
Visions of death still haunt your mind
Insanity breeds in your varicose veins
Poisoned blood flows through your veins
Your breath reeks of a rotted form
And the menstrual flow of a thousand whores
Your blood it boils and rots your brain
Tortured life makes you insane
Your self control has nothing left
The only escape is through your death
Once again your at death's door
Your wasted life exists no more
Now your doomed to rot in hell
Your fucking corpse begins to smell
12. Six Feet Under 01:12 Hide lyrics
Epitaph above your head
For many years you've been dead
Maggot brain - Pus filled eyes
In a moldy casker [casket?] you reside
Your the dead, your heart is black
Lived your life in blasphemy
Now you rot day by day
Eternal torture, slow decay
Your body's filled with rotten worms
Skin falls off your bones
The moon ignites your dried up corpse
How decrepit you have grown
Your reek of shit and rotten guts
Embalming fluids - Rancid crud
Released from hell you walk the earth
Your rotten corpse give new birth

Victims all lay bound and tied
Horrifying screams and cried
Headmaster shines his blade
On the block your head is laid
Cut in half, you scream and writhe
Guts pour out from inside
Gouge your eyes out of your head
Torture you until your dead
Break your bones, tear your flesh
Mutilate your fucking face
Body parts lay around in my human slaughter house
Lick the blood off my knife - smile and take another life
Burst your chest and eat your heart
Defiling bodies is my art
Limbless torsos piled up
One of them I slowly fuck
Tear your limbs off one by one
Killing to me is such fun
My hacksaw yearns for you
Now there's nothing you can do
14. Repulsion 01:46 Hide lyrics
Worm infested rotten flesh - The stench is what I lust
Vomit on a corpse face - Maggots eat the crust
Fornicating zombies in a grave that reeks with death
Rotten fetus in the garbage - Hanger through it's head
Rabid dogs feed on a corpse, the bones are stripped of flesh
Twisted and disfigured children - Struck by violent death
Sickened in the mind by all the death that you have known
Forever you will smell the stench of rotting flesh and bone
Torturing your brain, driving you insane
The horror that you feel unfortunately is real
Pungent oozing pus - Drives you to disgust
Vomit on the floor - Can't withstand the gore
15. The Lurking Fear 01:10 Hide lyrics
For many peaceful years their bodies laid in rest
Nuclear disaster from an ill fated test
Bodies start to rise, the holocaust is near
Can't escape the horror
Smell the lurking fear
Zombie eating children - Ripping out their guts
Headless bodies in the playground satisfy their lust
Cities are destroyed as corpses come to life
You can't escape the horror, feel the lurking fear
You know the end is coming, feel the grip of death
Zombies get you cornered and tear apart your flesh
Stick their fingers in your neck
Rip off your fucking head
They need to eat the living
It's the hunger of the dead
Now you're a fucking zombie
Your skin is turning blue
You feed to eat the living
It's hunger of the dead
Now you're a fucking zombie
Your skin is turning blue
You feed upon the living
Hell's awaiting you
Find a helpless victm, bite into his flesh
Drained of his life's blood, he feels the lurking fear
16. Black Breath 02:17 Hide lyrics
Nine slaves of death - Trapped in eternal hell
Kill you with their breath - If you catch a smell
You've all will to live - Losing death
You are doomed to die - Smell the reapers of death
Fevered and delirious - Despairing dreams
Black shadow haunting you - It never leaves
Now you begin to feel unrelenting pain
Before your life is through your gone insane
Stiffening of the joints, death creeps in
Flesh is turning blue, the end begins
Screaming endlessly, until your death
Certain death comes at last
From the black breath
17. Maggots in Your Coffin 01:46 Hide lyrics
The coffin is sealed on your rotten corpse
You lie in darkness, death corrodes your face
You are rotting, maggots in your coffin
Worms in your head - Soon they'll be dead
Nothing to feed on in your empty skull
Hell is where you are, your tortured soul is scarred
For years you'll rot in pain, lonely and decayed
You are rotting, maggots in your coffin
18. Horrified 02:03 Hide lyrics
Chill climbs up your back
Nightmares of death
Black haze pollutes your mind
Fear will infest
No warmth to comfort you
You see only black
Snarling faces staring at you
Tormenting evil laughs
Horrified
Adrenaline is pumping fast
Sanity cannot last
Grab your head, scream in pain
You know you won't be sane again
Horrfied
Morbid thoughts obsess your mind
You live a hellish dream
You feel the horror looking down
A face you cannot see
Paranoia in the dark
You sense that death is near
You try to scream for help
But not a soul can hear
Horrified
Deep within your consciousness
Horror is unleashed
Stare into the face of death
A hellish mutant beast
Pressure builds inside your brain
It's about to explode
The blood drains from your head
You lie there, still and cold
Horrified
Fuck!

Repulsion's singer sings like Cronos

After listening to this epic classic, go listen to Septic Death - Thaw. Chop, chop.

My review on Allmusic written October 6, 2017. 5 Stars
An undisputed Grindcore classic. Originally released in 1986 on cassette as Slaughter Of The Innocent, Repulsion's Horrified is among the very best albums of the genre. Great from beginning to end. Despite clearly rising from the Napalm Death school, Repulsion puts their very own stamp on Grindcore. A very powerful album from one of the legendary bands in all of punk and metal.
Most memorable riffs of any grindcore album.
Nah! That would be World Downfall. It has better written riffs
Warning: I listened to this album today at 1.25 speed during my workout and it was going great. However I got so into it, that I punched an elderly person in the face.
I then realized I wasn’t even at the gym...
The good times when i was not training in my room only.....
I like riding my bike at night and shoulder checking passing tweakers with grindcore blaring on speaker
Top 2 Grind Albums Ever Put On Vinyl! Can't Tell Which zone is my Number One. But This Album Is The Fastest most Brutal Grind Death Crust What Ever You Want To Call It! Its Simply Incredible!
Can't understand why people think this is crap. I mean it's so damn melodic and catchy!
Dustin French You're trying to tell us that you have never met a single person who thinks grindcore is horrible noise? Lol.
That's more like it. I suppose chances that someone is into grindcore and dislikes this album would be slim to say the least (:
This is probably the only grindcore album i like so far.
Dustin French I don't really like metal but I'm listening to this. I have a friend who I jam with and his favorite music is grindcore, and I'm really trying to find the appeal but I just don't really like it. He says he thinks it's an acquired taste.
Dustin French Could you recommend some metal subgenres for lightweight metal fans like myself to get into? I'm into just about every other genre of music, I'd love to find some metal I can really dig
Proto Grind at its finest, Repulsion and Siege and a few UK fastcore bands layed the ground work. Napalm death perfected it and pushed it to the masses. Sadly the rawness of grind really dissapeared with bands following the trending Florida death metal sounds. Shame because this sound is something truly unique. Dave grave and Mick the tornado Harris truly are some of the most influential people in all of metal also, how many modern bands and producers use the "Blast" nowadays... All because of these 2 men. Truly influential and both deserve to be put on a pedestal for years to come!
Music To Pet Your Cats To
Hell yah \m/
Kyle Whitefoot wow I read this as I was petting my cat violently hahahah
Flip Liquid lol
Yeah if your "Cat" is a Tiger.
lol
Venom meets Grindcore.
Where do you hear Venom in this? This is basically punk played at the most extreme
Such a raw album, love it.
BRUTAL
Not really a fan but I can understand the influence this band has. I would still listen to FETO and World Downfall any day. Even so, without Repulsion I doubt we would have had the bands which recorded those classics and I acknowledge that.
tbf this was technically a home studio recording when compared to FETO and World Downfall which were recorded in a proper studio.
I was never the biggest grindcore fan.
But who can't like Repulsion?
Great album!
CLASSIC! ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME!
First time hearing, it really is masterpiece of punk-death metal fusion. Up there with World Downfall no doubt!
A big influence on Napalm Death & Carcass... grindcore was conceived in 1980s Flint, Michigan. Flint Rock City! Strange how a scabrous & extreme record by a gang of Flint youngsters managed to cross the pond & influence the Genesis of an entire genre. Small world, etc.
That Terrorizer record is great, but the sound is FAR too clean. Now THIS... This is what early grind should sound like
World Downfall was perfectly produced and had a nice, raw and heavy sound. This is awesome but its quite fuzzy
Until nowadays, one of the most repulsive, chaotic and brutal albums of all time! Masterpiece!!!
Syn Zeme Puaajjjjjjj!!
Rob Ramos HORRIFIED!
Recorded in 1986 but released in 1989 by Necrot, Carcass's label
Love it, still have my copy. I was 17 years old. I'm 52 now.
Necrosis Records. Marketed by Earache.
I wrecked driving on snowy roads blasting Black Breath. Tru story.
Repulsion & Napalm Death:
The peanut butter and jelly
of grindcore 1989!
Horrified was originally recorded in '86 (only re-release as album in '89). And Napalm Death split up in '89 according to me.
DuCaDo003 Terrorizer
Napalm Death got me into grind, and the early stuff is classic grind, but I'd take Horrified over the Scum any day. It's just of the relentless nature of Repulsion that make them so great, and those killer raspy vocals.
Carcass - Reek of putrifaction.
Now that, my dearest friend, is the epitome of 80s grindcore.
There was no such thing as Grindcore in the eighties son....;) We were either hardcore or metal or both and we just got faster and faster. The label came afterwards.
Had to come here and repent after listening to a full Death Core song from some random band out of the million shitty Death Core bands, fuck, nothing like old school to clean my ears of the absolute shit.
Yesssssss
definitely influential on the almighty Carcass
Hell, they were the ones that helped release this masterpiece as an album!
Influential on most late 80s/early 90s Swedish death metal bands
By both songwriting and guitar tone. This is proto Boss-HM2 cranked to 12 that Swedeath is known for
This album and Slaughter’s Strappado
This is the essential Grind-Death Album . A Masterpiece for sure .
There is no death metal on this. This is straight Grindcore
@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066 Its Death/Grind
A legend begins.
i consider this death metal since the song titles and lyrics. but its hardcore punk delivery definitely makes it unique, im loving this
The best Grindcore lp of all time.
You are
rotting!
MAGGOTS!
IN YOUR COFFIIIIIIN!
no way
Never!
Reminds me a lot of Righteous Pigs "Stress Related" album! That album is masterpiece so it makes this great also. First time hearing Repulsion... i know but better late than never :) I also know Napalm Death really appreciates this band and took some influences from them as well.
Michigan made. Never gets old, even the gritty production adds to it.
See if your girlfriend still loves you after that masterpiece. In Grind we crust.
Some says this "great music" but one thing that I learned from hardcore punk and still believing is "Make noise not music".
I love that classic grindcore bands bring out the most thoughtful, wholesome comments. The Satanic Panic had it completely backwards
it may not have "real" blastbeats (over 210 bpm) , but it´s still fast as fuck and the RIFFS .... the riffs are killer ! the vocals are really angry, the sound is lo-fi,but brutal. And in general, this straight-forward approach in the song-writing..."Radiation Sickness" for example: killer-riff follows killer-riff !
daywalkermike it's punk as fuck
the neighbors just came home with their new born baby. I put my speakers to the wall of the apartment and blasted this. new born and already introduced to the good stuff. bless him.
This is AMAZING!!!! \m/
It's been 2 years since I posted that sentence above and this album still kicks ass!
This is like the sixth time I've run into one of your comments
Head Banging Blake ... Old Skull never dies... 🙌🙌🙌🙌😈😈😈😈
Been 4 years... still kicks ass?
Sydney Massingill hang on let me listen. Haven’t heard it in a while
back in my days we use to make rock pleasurable noise. Cheer's Boys! Early Naplam Repulsion and Swans!!!!
id say napalm Repulsion and Siege
I'm about to listen to REPULSION so do you really think i'd be interested in an advert for the latest Annie Lennox album? Ridiculous!
I sometimes get Nickelback adverts before listening to bands like Napalm, so yeah, RUclips's ads are stupidly placed most of the time
maurismind napalm death were actually a huge influence on nickelback
Not in their sound I guess...
.....dude it was a joke lol
I guess too much headbanging does not help my understanding...
Masterpiece
Is it my imagination, or does the lead vocalist sound like VENOM'S Cronos?
Welcome to Hell era.
He sounds more like Tom Gabriel Fischer from Celtic Frost. Listen to Circle of the tyrants, same tone!
@@vidabuena3589 May be, but to a lesser extent. Tom sounds somewhat gutteral, almost Death Metal like. But when I hear this guy, immediately a young Cronos comes to mind.
absolute classic.
25 years later this is still the most brutal shit!!! FLINTSTONES FOREVER!!! Seeing them live in Flint was like having your face sandblasted by their sound!
I used to live in Flint. Cody Elementary 1980 anyone.
The purest embodiment of implacable malice in music. It just keeps coming at you with a mix of hate, disgust, and not giving a fuck.
this may be their only album, but it's unarguably no-questions-asked classic death metal
Incredible energy, great guitar riffs and powerful sound, old school death meta foreverl!!!!!!!
This is true grind! >:D
I know some old school grind and death bands since many years ago but i didnt know this one. It's the kind of old school extreme sound I like.
This band puts many of the current so-called Metal bands to shame!!!
Randy Beltran Alot of the mainstream ones, but not all.
+Randy Beltran A lot of modern metal bands could use a good dose of songwriting over high gloss production, this band has its writing down in spades, the riffs here are catchy as fuck and the transitions are pretty smooth for how "sloppy" this album is.
Lx Beltran ... Old Skull... Forever Underground...
@@serialdrunkdriver All of them
@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066 NO
I first heard Repulsion on a Relapse Records promo cassette and was totally blown away by the rawness and ferocity. These tunes are absolute classics and have influenced so many other bands. When I eventually got hold of this album it made me a total convert to grindcore. Check out the earlier demos too for yet more auditory nirvana!
'Radiation sickness' from the Grindcrusher compilation got me here.
A masterpiece of Grindcore history!
Heresy & Atavistic were a little earlier, Siege and Deep Wound were also highly influential, The Accüsed nearly played that fast. S.O.B. too.
+Piers Bolton It all goes back to Siege. I say that because Napalm Death cite Siege as an influence, they were way into the demo tape. Pretty sure Deep Wound were earlier, but not as influential.
Also Koro, Agnostic Front,
And though not that great imo, DRI
Cryptic Slaughter
Still blasts most of the new bands away!
Gotta love that growling bass at 11:03
Slow it down to 0.75 and it becomes a Slayer album.
This has turned my world upside down. Always thought Napalm Death were the originators of grindcore, other than the influence of Asocial.
Same experience!
Discovered Napalm Death 1988 and loved them for inventing Grindcore.
I was definitely wrong!
Old school at its finest, thanks for posting
"1. The Stench of Burning Death" = "Deceiver" of Napalm Death ?... maybe not, but the Intro looks like
Bill Steer was a big fan of Repulsion, so they covered the intro song.
ONE OF THE BEST GRIND ALBUMS EVER PUT OUT. IF YOU SEE SOME NAPALM DEATH AND CARCASS INTERVIEWS THEY WERE INSPIRED BY THIS BAND.
I came here just to listen to this superb Grindcore band. First heard em' on the Grindcrusher Album.
Its entertaining how metal fans push back and make so many declarators of "they did this and influenced that...." They were just savagely brutal and we liked that.
Cheers and goodnight.
When I feel like getting my face completely ripped off, this is my go to album.
This is fantastic, I love it. Felt a bit weird though when I was in the middle of skanking around the living room to Driven to Insanity when a Dunkin Donuts commercial suddenly came on. Guess I will have to buy this so that doesn't happen again
Happy 32nd bday to this relic
Insane!!! Greetings from Brazil!!
ruclips.net/video/VEuI2Qeb5Wg/видео.html
Has a Venom kind of sound, it's awesome!!!!!
Hardcore punk!! 💯%
One day I may come back to this hyped as fuck, this genre requires repeat listening like nothing else to me. It took me two weeks before I finally liked Terrifyer by Pig Destroyer, even though I’d heard the whole thing like 5 times.
11 months later, I’m a Grind maniac and no one has seen my comment but me haha! Repulsion fucking rocks!
Why force yourself to like it though?. Either you get it or don't. Doesn't matter either way.
@@alleygh0st I give every band 3 chances, if it doesn’t stick by that point I give up. Music should be approached with an open mind, and sometimes I’m not in a mood for a certain album.
I used to dislike Arise by Sepultura. I have it on vinyl and it’s one of my all time favs. Only because I came back and retried.
Punks & metalheads unite ! Kroezel
The lesson here is that a demo tape can become a genre defining classic
The lads sure have a screwy imagination!
Every metalhead must own it!
I own nothing!!!!
The original demo version definitely got around the metal underground starting in 86, though, due to tape trading. Chuck Schuldiner had it and tried to recruit the members of Repulsion to join Death based on what he heard on this tape.
impetigo and repulsion! kings of grind
Wow! This album was their only album and it was just demo with some mastering!
The very first grind record.
