Repulsion is an American death metal band formed in Flint, Michigan, in 1985. The band is known for its fast-paced and aggressive style of death metal, which has influenced many other death metal bands in the genre. Repulsion's music tends to focus on horror themes, with lyrics often detailing atrocities such as torture and murder. Despite only releasing one full-length album, "Horrified," in 1989, the band is regarded as one of the most influential in the early development of the death metal genre.
