Review: A cornerstone in any grindcore collection - People usually credit Napalm Death with being the godfathers of grindcore; but this reviewer, for one, doesn't really see how they can do that. After all, it is Repulsion that came before Napalm (heck, they were even a source of inspiration for that band!) And some might wonder just how influential Repulsion can be since they only released one album. But they, thanks to their debut full-length (which was recorded in 1986), "Horrified," are actually enormously influential and important. After all, it is one of the first-ever grindcore albums in existence, and would make Repulsion capable of going on to inspire the next two generations of bands not only in the grindcore (including goregrind), hardcore/crust punk, and death metal genres; but also being extremely influential for the black metal and thrash genres, as well. Heck, there are even some bands out there (see: Black Breath, Six Feet Under, Dismemberment, etc.) that are so heavily inspired by Repulsion, that they adopted one of this Michigan-based quartet's song titles for a moniker of their own group. But "Horrified" is worth far more than just being an important milestone release. For one, even listeners who have already been subjected to the likes of, say, Assuck, Nasum, Magrudergrind, and/or Noisear should agree that this album remains as intense today as it ever was. (And no matter how many times you listen to it, it never does seem to get any less intense.) This is partially thanks due to the fact that "Horrified" sounds so unique, even with an uncountable number of impersonators flooding the marketplace today. Nobody can seem to get the sound 100% just right that Repulsion have created, here. And the band might not exactly be technical, but they sure can play their instruments. Col Jones may have not actually invented the blast beat (that honor goes to Sepultura's Igor Cavalera, for his work on "Morbid Visions," and Extreme Noise Terror's Darren "Pig Killer" Olley); but he certainly patented it, and made Repulsion one of the first ever bands to use it in excess. (Every one of these eighteen songs explodes with ferocious, single-footed grindcore blasts and double-time thrash beats.) Meanwhile, frontman Scott Carlson sounds like he is flossing his teeth with barbed-wire, as he alternates a rough, mid-range (but still not quite Cookie Monster-worthy) growl with unnerving rasps and freakishly high, Celtic Frost/Kreator-inspired shrieks. And elsewhere, Sean MacDonald's bass forms an extremely filthy, wet-in-your-ears sounding, wall-of gut-rumbling sludge; while guitarists Matt Olivo and Matt Harvey, repeatedly bash out simplistic, Slayer-inspired thrash riffs, buzzsaw-fast guitar leads, and some of the absolute most noisy and shredding, whammy bar-laden solos ever put to tape. Overall, the album does seem to blend together a bit too much. But that is certainly not to say that there aren't standout tracks present, here. For example, "The Stench Of Burning Death" is a propulsive opening launch pad backed by a pounding, even borderline catchy, doom-soaked main riff that has been borrowed by Napalm Death a dozen-or-more times (most notably for their 1987 song "Deceiver"). Soon enough, however, the song becomes a decapitating barrage of blistering riffage, thunderous blast beats, and extremely noisy and squealing, whammy-bar soloing. And later songs, such as "Eaten Alive" (and the subsequent "Acid Bath"), are two especially amazing drum performances, long on hyper-kinetic double kick drumming, frantic fills, and pulverizing blasts. Elsewhere, tracks like "Slaughter Of The Innocent" use blast beats, but not quite as much as usually, thus creating a nice, adherent groove. Some catchy "wah-wah"-esque guitar licks are included, here, too. The blast beats also stop, albeit just momentarily, in Radiation Sickness" thus forming a great contrast and friction near the beginning of the song. Another big standout is "Festering Boils," which marries an especially brutal bass tone (including a bass intro that sounds like a rusty chainsaw) with grinding, chest-caving guitars, and jackhammer-fast drumming. "Crematorium" barrels forward with Jones pummeling his trapkit into a million pieces with mind-bogglingly fast, ferocious, jackhammer-gone-wild blasting. "Driven To Insanity" is a borderline catchy tune, and one that boasts crunchy, churning, and at times almost machine-gun riffing. It is also fueled by a positively breakneck tempo and soloing section. Other notable mentions include "Six Feet Under" (which has more of the same drumming as heard in "Crematorium"); the band's title song ("Repulsion"), which is especially blazing, careening, and out of control; "The Lurking Fear," which briefly but notably switches to an up-tempo, chugging part; and "Maggots In Your Coffin," which was also later covered by Napalm Death on that group's "Leaders Not Followers" E.P.. The bottom line, here, is easy enough to understand: If you don't know Repulsion and/or "Horrified," you simply do not know grindcore (or any of extreme metal, for that matter). Simply put, the album is an absolutely bloody essential listen. Buy it and blast-out your eardrums! It is grindcore in its truest, heaviest, filthiest, and most unadulterated form.

Maybe they got this point by following Mick Harris's advice. The second cd is longer, contains demos of before and after, and showcases different directions the sound and songwriting could, can, DID, go.
