Repulsione are a misanthropic but political grind band from Bologna, Italy, who have been unleashing blasphemous insanity on the world since 2004. As a four-piece with only one lead singer and one guitarist, they manage to achieve a pretty full sound—especially on their new album titled Human Destruction Front, released on January 6th, 2022 (what a date, huh?) by Grind Gut-Wrenching Records, Maxima Tortura, ¡ZAS! Autoproduzioni and SFA Records.
Recorded, mixed, and mastered in 2021 at Marà at Mara’s Cave, the album delivers more of the interesting sound of the band’s previous output, showing a gradual improvement in composition, technique, and especially vocal arrangements—Mosh’s throaty growls range from mighty high screams to extremely low grunts and everything in between, and he manages to do it all without a backing vocalist like most grindcore bands do. Which just shows you how talented he is as a singer and what a huge vocal range he has! The rhythm section sounds exactly how an extreme one should sound, and the guitar tone is massively low and reverb-heavy, producing excruciatingly noisy harmonies and fast, brutal riffing that will inevitably make your ears bleed incessantly, as any respectable grindcore act should!
The lyrics, as always, focus on misanthropic, man-hating themes and tales of dystopian nightmares—drawing lyrical parallels to Driller Killer or Disfear for example, but you also get the occasional socially/politically themed song like “Proud of Burning a Flag”, which just shows you that they are as militantly political as you can be without being a mincecore band.
You can also buy the album digitally from their Bandcamp or check out which of the format releases from the aforementioned labels you like and support Repulsione on their long and hard journey to annihilate our hearing and destroy our skulls in the mosh pit with their ultra-short hymns of violence, chaos and post-apocalyptic destruction.
