1. Repulsion are a legendary band hailed as being one of the biggest influences on the grindcore genre, despite only releasing one official full length album entitled "Horrified" in 1989 (recorded in 1986).
The band formed in 1984 under the name Genocide, releasing three demos with this name. Later, they changed the name to the more "fitting name" for their style of music and lyrical content, which is Repulsion. With the name Repulsion, they released one full length album, two demos and a single. They broke up around 1991 and after over a decade, the band decided to reform again circa 2004.
Repulsion hold a legendary status as a band influencing countless earlier grindcore bands like Napalm Death, Carcass and Terrorizer. The band is also hailed as one of the first breeds of grindcore being mixed with death metal, influencing the goregrind genre heavily.
2. Repulsion was the original name of the legendary gothic/doom metal band Type O Negative. They released their demo album None More Negative during this time. Soon after they changed their name due to the above grindcore band already having the name.
Horrified
Repulsion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics to Repulsion's song Horrified are a gruesome and terrifying depiction of a mind consumed by fear and horror. The vivid imagery presented throughout the lyrics paints a picture of a person whose sanity has been shattered by the horrors they have witnessed or imagined. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the chilling description of "Chill climbs up your back" and "Black haze pollutes your mind". The lyrics go on to describe the snarling faces and evil laughs that torment the singer, and the feeling that death is always near.
As the song progresses, the sense of terror intensifies, with the singer's thoughts becoming increasingly morbid and obsessively focused on death. The lyrics paint a picture of a person trapped in a hellish nightmare, with no escape from the horror that surrounds them. The sense of desperation and hopelessness is palpable, as the singer writhes in pain, aware that their sanity is slipping away and that they may never be the same again.
Ultimately, the lyrics paint a picture of a mind on the brink of destruction, overcome by the horrors that lurk within. The final lines, "The blood drains from your head/ You lie there, still and cold" are a chilling reminder of the power of fear to consume and destroy.

@danielsan2142
Still one of the most brutal and chaotic albums ever released. Masterpiece!
@SuperPsycho731
Grind yo mind
@warshipsatin8764
brutal sure but chaotic? it sounds pretty tight to me
@odiousmortem9896
@@warshipsatin8764It is pretty tight overall, but it does have a slight bit of chaos to it at the same time. This is the classic shit right here though, no doubt!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
@warshipsatin8764
@Odious Mortem yeah it rules for sure
@steveopc81
Can’t be overstated how important this album is to Metal. Gave Dave’s drumming alone. Long live the cheat beat!
@grindcoremaniac
I always come back to this classic. That bass intro on Festering Boils was what got me into Repulsion, and now I can't get enough grind in my life.
@Cataclismos
That bass is low and dirty
