About

Repulsion is an American grindcore band from Flint, Michigan, founded in 1984 by Scott Carlson and Matt Olivo.

The band underwent many name changes before eventually settling on Repulsion after Carlson and Olivo left Death in the mid-1980s, recruiting Dave "Grave" Hollingshead as their drummer. The band subsequently recorded their debut album Horrified in 1986, releasing it three years later.
The band has been cited as an influence on numerous bands since its initial run, including Cannibal Corpse and Napalm Death.
