The production on Horrified is not great, but it conveys the general idea of the music. When I listen to Entombed's cover of 'Black Breath' and the original, yeah, there is a difference - but it doesn't change the nature of the song.

Compared to other grindcore releases from the era, it's not bad (although I've only heard the remasters, so). I mean, if you want to talk about god awful production, Carcass take the cake with "Reek of Putrefaction".

But, yeah, Repulsion are grindcore, for sure. They just so happened to have written their name in the cement before it set.

EDIT:

Really, though. Repulsion have remained one of my favorite bands since I was in highschool. Back then, I would listen to later metal bands and find myself spotting the Repulsion influence. Now I find myself listening to earlier punk and metal bands, and somewhat figuring out just where they were coming from.
