This feature from Louder tells the previously obscure story of Repugnant, the Swedish death metal band led by Ghost frontman Tobias Forge (under the pseudonym Mary Goore) before he found global fame with Ghost. Long confined to underground metal circles, the band's history is now being revisited in detail, offering fans insight into the formative project that shaped Forge's later, far more famous work.

Repugnant formed in 1998 and released a handful of demos, seven-inch singles and EPs that circulated only among underground death metal enthusiasts and specialist websites. In 2006 they released their sole full-length album, Epitome Of Darkness, a record described as harsh but unusually melodic for the genre; however, by the time it came out, the band had already broken up, meaning it made little impact despite its quality. The article's title references an eerie anecdote about a band member's death occurring the night before a rehearsal, underlining the strange and largely untold history behind the group.
