Revulsed

After the demise of the Christian doom metal band Paramaecium (later inExordium), Jayson Sherlock and Sheldon D'Costa formed Revulsed in 2010. The band wrote their debut album for five years with Justin "Yowie" Smith formerly of fellow Australian Christian death metal band, Metanoia, still in search for a vocalist.{{cite web|url=https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/as-the-story-grows/id962812433|title=Jayson Sherlock of Revulsed, Mortification|publisher=As the Story Grows|first=Jayson|last=Sherlock|interviewer=Stephen Sarro and Trav Turner|date=25 October 2015|access-date=2 April 2016}} For a brief time they had Peter Ball of Those Who Endure as their vocalist; it was not a good fit and Ball left. He was replaced by Konstantin Lühring of Defeated Sanity and they finished recording their debut album.{{cite web | url = https://eskapismuskonzertberichte.wordpress.com/2015/11/19/revulsed-by-filth-greed-and-darkness/ | title = Revulsed by Filth, Greed and Darkness | last = Ads | work = Eskapismus Konzertberichte | publisher = | date = 19 November 2015 | accessdate = 6 April 2016 }}

In October 2015 Infernal Atrocity was released via Permeated Records. Sherlock felt that "I always wanted to outdo those earlier albums of mine in terms of speed and overall brutality." Belgian music critic Wouter Roemers described it as "one of the better contemporary death metal albums... bland title notwithstanding, is traditional in spirit and approach, but contemporary and cutting-edge on all other fronts."{{cite web | url = http://tometal.com/review/revulsed-infernal-atrocity/ | title = Revulsed – Infernal Atrocity | last = Roemers | first = Wouter | work = Transcending Obscurity | location = Belgium | year = 2015 | accessdate = 6 April 2016 }} Czech reviewer Prepil rated it as 8 out of 10 and explained "A jsem moc rád, že jsem díky náhodě na tuhle kapelu narazil a mám za to, že si určitě zaslouží i vaši pozornost... představuje album plné brutálního a přitom dynamického death metalu, jenž baví i při neustálém přehrávání."{{cite web | url = http://www.fobiazine.net/article/9123/revulsed--infernal-atrocity-/ | title = Revulsed – Infernal Atrocity | last = Prepil | work = Fobia Zine | language = Czech | date = 3 December 2015 | accessdate = 6 April 2016 }} (English: "And I'm glad I by chance stumbled on this band, and I think that certainly deserves your attention... [It's] full of brutal, yet dynamic Death Metal, which entertains even during continuous playback.") Daniel F of Whiskey Soda noticed it is "ein musikalisch aussergewöhnlich vielseitiges, extrem hartes und inhaltlich erfreulich tiefgründiges Album."{{cite web | url = http://www.whiskey-soda.de/review.php?id=37231 | title = Revulsed – Infernal Atrocity | last = F | first = Daniel | work = Whiskey Soda | language = German | date = November 2015 | accessdate = 6 April 2016 }} (English: "a musically extraordinarily versatile, extremely hard and content-wise enjoyably profound album.")

Mark Smith joined the band as their bass player after the recording of the album. Lühring left the band as he was unable to play locally. Damien Mirklis joined in January 2016 at the time of the announcement of Lühring's leaving.{{cite web|url=https://m.facebook.com/RevulsedDM/photos/pb.292282887646344.-2207520000.1459607991./449831635224801/?type=3&source=54&refid=17|title=Konni's departure, Damien's entrance|publisher=Facebook|author=Revulsed|date=30 January 2016|accessdate=2 April 2016}}
