Repulsion is a band who released 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 holds a legendary status as a band influencing countless earlier grindcore bands like Napalm Death, Carcass and Terrorizer.

Repulsion is also a post-progressive-math-punk-rock band from Dunlap, Tennessee. They make music reminiscent of bands like Slint, Edaline, Hum, and their namesake, Dinosaur Jr.
Repulsion formed in 2023. They released their self titled single in May of 2025, containing 2 tracks, "Fernweh" and "Roadkill." "Roadkill" would later appear on their debut album, "Anchor & Dredge," released in March of 2026.
