From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horrified is the only studio album by American grindcore band Repulsion. Originally released as a demo tape titled Slaughter of the Innocent, the band recorded the album for US$300 at the basement studio of engineer Larry Hennessy in June 1986. It features fast songs combining elements of thrash metal, death metal and hardcore punk; blast beats; and bloody, gory lyrics. Although Repulsion disbanded not long after its recording due to a lack of record label interest in September 1986, the Slaughter of the Innocent demo was circulated in tape trading circles, and the album was eventually given an official release with its present title and adjusted artwork through Necrosis Records, a sublabel of Earache Records owned by Bill Steer and Jeff Walker of Carcass, in July 1989.
Horrified is retrospectively considered a classic and highly influential grindcore album and has been credited with pioneering the goregrind subgenre. In 2009, Decibel ranked it as the greatest grindcore album of all time, with Terrorizer ranking the album as the second-greatest American grindcore album.
