Black metal?

Although Repulsion's crust punk approach is somewhat similar to the punkish approach of a number of minimal black metal bands, I don't think it would be accurate to state that Repulsion had a "significant impact" on the black metal scene.

Orphaned references in Repulsion (band)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Repulsion (band)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "terrorizer":

• From Grindcore: "Powerviolence: The Dysfunctional Family of Bllleeeeaaauuurrrgghhh!!". Terrorizer no. 172. July 2008. p. 36-37.
• From Hardcore punk: "Powerviolence: The Dysfunctional Family of Bllleeeeaaauuurrrgghhh!!". Terrorizer (172): 36–37. July 2008.
• From List of grindcore bands: Schwarz, Paul, "Death Metal|Death/Grind" (2006). Terrorizer #150, p. 54.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:46, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Genre discussion

Hello Issan Sumisu,

Obviously, I take issue with your take on this. 🙂 When the author of the article, Andy O'Connor, states, "they were pushing thrash and punk into limits that would become the blueprints for grindcore music" what do you read?

The standard way to read this is, "the band's style was thrash and punk that they then (the word "would" implies "in the future") pushed into something new." This new genre is what is now referred to as grindcore. It seems pretty clear in what he writes. The band also eludes to this in their Voicesfromthedarkside interview that their members were "Thrash", and state how thrash metal bands like Exodus were influences. But I've been reminded that what band members say about themselves genre-wise does not count.

Lastly, their origin was as "a metal act covering Bay Area thrash metal bands, such as Slayer and Metallica."

I feel you are not reading the reference correctly. That said, how about we include the thrash metal genre, but do as I've often seen done, list it as "thrash metal (early)"? – ░▒▓ №∶72.234.220.38 (talk) 20:48, 7 June 2020 (UTC) ▓▒░

I don't have any problem with its inclusion and I'm definitely aware that many consider their pre-recording music to be thrash, it just that it seems to me like that source is saying their style, which would later be termed grindcore, was an expansion of the sound of thrash and punk. If you'd like to use a source to include this I think that A History of Heavy Metal by Andrew O'Neill would be better as it says "Repulsion began like as a thrash metal cover band called Tempter", however it does also says they "played in a hardcore punk in a hardcore punk style and wrote songs heavily influenced by Slayer". So if thrash were to be included then hardcore would as well, to be neutral. Issan Sumisu (talk) 07:59, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

I see your point. As you know, it gets so fuzzy when one gets back to the original sound of a band. Glad you found the "A History of Heavy Metal" reference. I think we can agree that they just didn't start out as grindcore from day one, that evolved. So what were they at the start? Thrash – I'm sure (but my opinion don't count 😉), hardcore, yeah, I'd say that too. But I also hate having overfilled genre fields! I did note that a couple years ago you were not happy about using the "early" tag. So, you okay with adding both with cites? I see you feel passionately about genres & willing to go to war for your beliefs (or at least be accüsed of it. 😃) – ░▒▓ №∶72.234.220.38 (talk) 08:28, 8 June 2020 (UTC) ▓▒░

I've always liked early tags as long as their sourced, I'll go ahead and add it though as it seems like we've reached a consensus. 09:13, 8 June 2020 (UTC)Issan Sumisu (talk)

Awesome, looks good. Thanks. If you're into the band, there's another interview I found, it's linked to at Reference #2 here. Details more of the early times. Regards. – ░▒▓ №∶72.234.220.38 (talk) 10:18, 8 June 2020 (UTC) ▓▒░
