There are albums that define a genre, and then there are albums that create one. Horrified by Repulsion belongs firmly in the latter category. Recorded during the mid-eighties and officially released in 1989, the album became a blueprint for grindcore, death metal and goregrind long before those genres fully emerged. Its influence can still be heard throughout the extreme metal underground today.
The record thrives on pure intensity. Short songs explode with frantic drumming, distorted bass lines and savage riffs that never waste a second. What makes Horrified timeless is how raw and authentic it remains decades later. Rather than sounding dated, it still feels dangerous and unpredictable. Few debut albums have left such a lasting mark on extreme music.
This 2025 reissue is pressed on translucent green vinyl, a fitting tribute to one of the most influential underground metal albums ever released. Whether you are discovering Repulsion for the first time or upgrading your collection, this edition deserves a place on the shelf.
