San Francisco's Repulsa blend heavy metal's anthemic quality with thrash's raw speed, drawing from both the Bay Area's storied thrash legacy and the classic American metal tradition. Formed in 2026 and already active, they represent the latest chapter in San Francisco's long history of producing metal bands that fuse hard rock instincts with heavier impulses. Sharp riffs and a hard rock swagger mark their early work.

Los Angeles' Repulsant formed in 2022, channeling death metal's brutality through groove metal's physical rhythmic insistence — the result is something that hits hard at both the gut and the neck.
