EXCRUCIATION “The Last Judgment” 2xLP is OUT NOW!!! Interview with Eugenio Meccariello

Posted in Excruciation, Releases on March 24th, 2012 by Giulio Foad

EXCRUCIATION is hands down the missing name to complete the unholy trinity that forged the best of Swiss 80s Thrash Metal… easy to realize that the other 2 are HELLHAMMER and MESSIAH. FOAD Records has put together a special edition double LP, a deadly retrospective nightmare into the band’s rawest and earliest recording. You can purchase a copy using the Buy Now button below:

To celebrate the release, Marco FOAD reached original – and still active – member Eugenio Maccariello, who has sung for this Swiss powerhouse of Thrash since the very beginning… discover some of the great stories hidden in the vaults of Swiss 80s metal!!!

The reissue of your wonderful “The Last Judgment” MLP and “First Assault” demo is finally out in a gatefold double LP version. What do you remember from those times? Tell us something about Excruciation in the ’80s …
Well you know, who is remembering the 80s today did not live them… 🙂 Seriously, it has been a nice time: in that period many new things have come out in our music genre. New stuff, something people had never heard before. It was the birth of a scene which we felt like a family, with relatives scattered all around the world… I remember that releasing a tape with your music, and hearing the positive reactions from the people, to me was much more satisfactory than releasing a CD today.

RAW POWER “Birth” Gatefold LP Pre-Orders OPEN NOW!!!

Posted in Pre Orders, Raw Power, Releases on March 21st, 2012 by Giulio Foad

WE’LL START TO SHIP ON APRIL 1st 2012.

FOAD Records has prepared another great album you will not want to miss:  a collection of very early RAW POWER material, 31 songs of pure energetic Italian Hardcore fury! Side A contains an official re-issue of the band’s debut Demotape from 1983 remastered from the 1st generation sources/tapes provided by the band, now for the very first time on vinyl!!

On the B Side, you get the Live at “Jockey Club” (Newport / KY / USA, Sept. 4th 1984), 15 songs (many of which completely unreleased and appearing for the first time ever on vinyl) re-equalized and remastered from a 2 channel master found by an old RAW POWER‘s  roadie.  Highly influential Italian Hardcore at its top: fast blistering drums, inhuman 6 string execution and rabid vocals combined with the screaming mad assault of songs such as “Fuck authority”, “Raw power” and “Don’t let me see it” that gave a vital input to tons of other like minded speed/HC maniacs to come in later years. They were the first Italian HC band touring the USA, and  the one that brought Italian Hardcore on the international music map. This records testifies the energy and the compromised “raw power” they had on stage back then! Read more »

EXCRUCIATION “Last judgement / First assault” Double gatefold LP (FOAD 031)
– ITEMS WILL BE SHIPPED FROM MARCH 24TH –

If one has to think back of classic 80s Swiss Thrash Metal, EXCRUCIATION is hands down one of the names forming the genre’s unholy trinity… and it would be pretty easy to realize that the other 2 are HELLHAMMER and MESSIAH. FOAD Records presents another classic Double LP housed in high-glossy, laminated gatefold cover including unreleased photos and exclusive liner notes. This special edition double LP is a deadly retrospective nightmare into the band’s rawest and earliest recordings. It starts with an incredibly remastered version of the classic “Last judgement” Mini LP originally released in 1987 by the obscure kult label CHAINSAW MURDER RECORDS (which, in its short existence brought to vinyl MESSIAH and a legendary 7″ of Chile’s Death/Thrashers PENTAGRAM!), and follows up with the entire “First assault” Demo 1986. An extensive selection of rare rehearsal and live tracks from 1985 to 1987 completes a total of 25 bursts of mayhemic Thrash. Read more »
