Horrified is the only studio album by American grindcore band Repulsion. The album was recorded for US$300 at the basement studio of engineer Larry Hennessy over the course of three to four days in June 1986. Horrified features fast songs combining elements of thrash metal, death metal and hardcore punk; blast beats, and bloody, gory lyrics inspired by horror films and comics. The album was initially released as a demo titled Slaughter of the Innocent, but failed to attract record label interest, resulting in Repulsion's disbandment in September 1986. After circulating in tape trading circles, Horrified was 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. The album is widely considered a classic and highly influential grindcore album and has been credited with pioneering the goregrind subgenre; retrospective reviews acknowledge its influence whilst also describing it as an enjoyable listen. In 2009, Decibel ranked Horrified as the greatest grindcore album of all time, with Terrorizer ranking it as the second-greatest American grindcore album.
