Genocide was a seminal extreme metal band from Flint, Michigan. They were briefly active between late 1984 and early 1986 and released three demo cassettes before changing their name to Repulsion. Though very much underground, they were influential in the development of death metal and grindcore, given that their third and final demo in Jan 1986 featured a sound very similar to what they would record 5 months later under the new band name and eventually release as the album Horrified (though only 12 of the 18 tracks were written at this time). Guitarist Matt Olivo and bassist Scott Carlson were also featured on a number of rehearsal tapes with the band Death around this time. All Genocide material would be compiled and re-released as a bonus disc on the 2003 reissue of Repulsion's Horrified, subtitled Rarities. It would once again be compiled and re-released in 2011 as The Stench of Burning Death. « hide
