FEAR OF GOD “As statues fell” gatefold LP and ltd. picture disc LP out now!!

Posted in Fear Of God, Releases on March 21st, 2013 by foadmaster2022

The wait is over, FEAR OF GOD “As statues fell” gatefold LP has finally been delivered at FOAD Rec‘s headquarters and it’s a fucking destroyer!!

As previously announced, there are 3 different versions available:

– die-hard ltd. picture disc LP (200 copies)

 

– white vinyl (250 copies)

– black vinyl (250 copies)

..all of them served in a thick, glossy UV varnished gatefold jacket that is an accurate reproduction of the original sleeve as it came out in 25 years ago on Off The Disk Records.  And once again about the contents: remastered from original mastertapes, spiced up with 9 additional tracks, it now sounds better than ever before. The clean A-side recording is a tour de force with non-stop over the top brutality and highest speed-drumming – no triggers, no overdubs, just extremely brutal power. This was clearly the band’s climax as a live band. The B-side represents the impact on the audience: dirty, raw, violent – like a bunch of rabid dogs jumping off the stage to rip the audience apart. If their debut 21 track Ep (1988) tore you a new asshole, this 33 song version of “As statues fell” will leave you floored with its anti-tank gun gracefulness!

FEAR OF GOD “As statues fell” LP (white and black vinyl / die-hard picture disc) pre-orders start NOW!!

Posted in Fear Of God, Pre Orders, Releases on March 5th, 2013 by foadmaster2022

Here we go! Pre-orders for the longly awaited FEAR OF GOD “As statues fell” LP repress on FOAD Records are finally open! Originally released by Erich Keller’s cult label Off The Disk in 1988, “As statues fell” is an uncompromised manifesto of merciless ear-blasting Noise/Grind at its most savage and annihilating form. Remastered from original mastertapes, spiced up with 9 additional tracks, it now sounds better than ever before. The clean A-side recording is a tour de force with non-stop over the top brutality and highest speed-drumming – no triggers, no overdubs, just extremely brutal power. This was clearly the band’s climax as a live band. The B-side represents the impact on the audience: dirty, raw, violent – like a bunch of rabid dogs jumping off the stage to rip the audience apart. If their debut 21 track Ep (1988) tore you a new asshole, this 33 song version of “As statues fell” will leave you floored with its antitank gun gracefulness!

Available in three very nicely made versions: 140gr. white (250 copies) and black (250 copies) vinyl, plus a ltd. to 200, ultra-posh picture disc version, all of them housed in a thick, UV coated gatefold sleeve.

beware the upcoming FOAD assault! FEAR OF GOD, CRIPPLE BASTARDS and RAW POWER in the pressing plant…

Posted in Cripple Bastards, Fear Of God, Raw Power on March 2nd, 2013 by foadmaster2022

If February has been silent with no releases announced, it was just because we were preparing a massive assault for the next few months. We have just received the test presses for the longly awaited reissue of FEAR OF GOD “As statues fell” 12″ that is planned to be released on March 20th 2013 (presales starting next week). This will be available in 3 different versions: white vinyl, black vinyl and limited die hard picture LP, all of them served in a thick gatefold sleeve, repro of the original on Off The Disc. Needless to mention that this has been entirely remastered under direct supervision of Erich Keller and includes 9 bonus tracks from the incredible Fribourg show 1988, yes the one with the “throat explosions”! Fear of God 12″ test presses just arrived!

The second slasher raging to kill is the CRIPPLE BASTARDS “Live to hate people II / I” digipack CD including – on popular demand – the insane 2005’s Rovereto show interrupted by a furious riot and anarchists throwing bottles on stage. This has been captured by a crystal ultra-powerful soundboard recording, and besides the fun fact of all the insults and gags between each song, you also get the best sounding CB live performance ever. This also includes as bonus the older “Live to hate people” vol.1 originally released in 1998 as a 3″CD.

And the third of this infamous triptyc is a special deluxe reissue of RAW POWER‘s first 12″ “You are the victim” adding an incredible extra feature: the completely unknown and unreleased “God’s course” Demo 1982 that we recently found in Stiv Valli’s archives, recorded even before Mauro Codeluppi joined the band, and seeing his brother Giuseppe and Silvio trading vocal duties delivering embryonic versions of their early anthems. We’re releasing this as a digipak CD with thick booklet filled with photos, flyers and rare excerpts. This is the first of a series of 4 official reissues of RP’s 80s back-catalog, in the next months we’ll also bring to light their masterpiece “Screams from the gutter”, a remixed version of “After your brain” and an extended re-edition of “Mine to kill” adding the ultra-rare Italian alternate recordings of the album (still with Helder on drums!!) a real gem longly haunted by collectors.

Is that all? No. We’re also soon sending to the pressing plant: NERORGASMO “Discografia” double gatefold LP with 5 bonus live tracks not included in the previous FOAD Cd, UNDERAGE discography LP and CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER “Life in grave + extra” gatefold LP. You can expect all this madness to come out through the spring so keep checking our site!
