Tobias Forge contributes a music video to V/H/S/Mixtape. Here is what is confirmed, and why it should not yet be called a full Repugnant reunion.

Tobias Forge’s earlier death-metal world has surfaced in a new horror setting. V/H/S/Mixtape, the anthology scheduled by Shudder for October 9, includes a music-video contribution from the Ghost frontman; Louder identifies it as Repugnant’s “Premature Burial.”

A music-driven horror anthology

Shudder’s announcement confirms a new Forge music video alongside interludes directed by Flying Lotus. The ninth film in the franchise revolves around music and sound, with segments by Ernest Dickerson, RZA, David Moreau and Renee Zhan, plus a featured appearance by GWAR.

What the Repugnant connection establishes

Louder’s October 10 report connects Forge’s contribution with “Premature Burial,” a song from Repugnant’s earlier catalogue. That makes the film a fresh point of entry for listeners curious about the heavier music behind his pre-Ghost history.

A video is not a complete reunion announcement

The evidence supports a film contribution. It does not yet establish a new Repugnant album, a tour, or a permanent current lineup. Reports about the recording and personnel should not be turned into a broader reunion claim without an artist or label announcement.

For guitar listeners, the useful distinction is between discovering an earlier death-metal project and assuming it has resumed as an active band. The video offers a reason to investigate that history; the next chapter remains unconfirmed.

Shudder’s advertised release date is October 9, 2026. Streaming access depends on territory; the AMC+ page returned a geographic restriction during our check, so we cannot confirm playback availability in every market.
