S.D.I. “Bloodsucker – demo 1986” one-sided LP out NOW!!

Posted in Releases, S.D.I. on July 29th, 2015 by foadmaster2022

..just got back from our insane open air festival “UNITED AS ONE Pt. II” that was really over all our expectations, we are ready to start shipping our final release of the summer. So set the time machine to 1986 and face some bloodthirsty Teutonic Speed/Thrash Metal, S.D.I. “Bloodsucker – Demo 1986” LP is out now!!! It’s not the first case that we’re dealing with some classic German Metal of the 80s, remember the massive PROTECTOR demo collection “Cain and Abel” on double LP and the recently unleashed POISON “Sons of evil” LP, but of all the above mentioned recordings, what you’re getting this time is hands down the rarest and less known of all. So more in detail: legendary German Speed/Thrash aggressors S.D.I. (Satans Defloration Inc.) team up with FOAD to unearth their ultra-rare debut studio recording 1986, a cult session known as “Bloodsucker” Demo used only as promo to get them signed to a label for their first full length LP.

This has been re-transfered from the original reels and remixed too, as there were no decent copies around of the original mix that could be used as master. So taking it from the 1/4″ reels, you get it in the best possible sound quality thanks to the amazing restoring skills of The Hand Of Doom at Toxic Basement Studio. If you’re into classic no frills German Thrash and Speed Metal, this has the powerful and straightforward riffing assault to gnaw your neck vertebrae into a frantic headbangin’ delirium until you are ready to jump in a suicidal MEGAMOSH!! It reminds of early day Helloween (1985 EP era) and Iron Angel meet Destruction, all channelled through a more Metal/Punk infused approach. One sided LP with B-Side silkscreened in white with a rare artwork from the original promo. 4 page old school booklet/insert with extensive liner notes, the complete “Bloodsucker” promo photoset and never seen before flyers/artworks. A must have for all you maniacs into ’80s German Thrash and Speed Metal!

We’re starting to ship all the preorders today and the official release party is going to take place this Saturday in Reggio Emilia (Italy) at Lambrusco Open Air with S.D.I. themselves headlining!! After this LP we’ll get back in September with an all-italian 80s Hardcore double assault, so stay tuned!! S.D.I. is still available in two different versions, act fast to catch the limited blue vinyl versions as there aren’t many left!

Available in 2 different versions:

Die-hard electric blue vinyl (limited to 100 copies)

Solid Black vinyl (limited to 400)

CRUMBSUCKERS “Turn back time: the early years 1983-1985” double LP+CD and double CD out now!!

Posted in Crumbsuckers, Releases on July 13th, 2015 by foadmaster2022

The wait is over! CRUMBSUCKERS “Turn back time: the early years 1983-1985” 2xLP+CD and double CD  are finally out. We’re a bit late in announcing this (release date was set for July 9th) because we have been away for 1 week at the Obscene Extreme Festival busy with our records/merch tent. A part of preorders have been shipped already and the rest will be sent before the end of the week. There are only 15 copies left of the ultra-ltd diehard version on black n’ blue splatter vinyl so better blast at the speed of light on the shopping cart if you want to catch one!

So more in detail about the contents:

if you’re looking for crucial, full on energy 80’s New York Hardcore, then look no further!! This is the most exhaustive, high quality retrospective of the pre-”Life of dreams” recordings, 69 songs including all their Demos (the legendary “Crumbsucker cave” demo 1983, “Charge of the light brigade” Demo 1985 and two unreleased tapes 1983-1984) + a bonus CD with 3 great sounding live sets 1984-85 at CBGB‘s… one opening for the Cro-Mags!  This collection shows the band’s natural evolution from basic, no frills early ’80s Hardcore to the mad thrashing assault that made “Life of dreams” and “B.O.M.B.” two unforgettable lessons of true NYHC crossovered with technical and well delivered Metal.

All the stuff included here features their former singer David Brady, and displays embryonic versions of all those anthems that were later re-recorded on their debut masterpiece + a bunch of unreleased tracks!  As usual all the stuff here has been mastered from 1st generation tapes with extreme care and passion by the Hand of Doom @ Toxic Basement Studio, a real guarantee of quality and passion!

VINYL: Three sided double LP (one side silk-screened featuring the original Taggart’s crumb sucker art) housed in a thick gatefold jacket including rare photos, flyers and liner notes + exclusive artwork by Lucas Kalina… bonus Live at CBGB CD sealed inside of the gatefold in a 5″ cardboard sleeve!

CD:  double CD in a 6-panel digipack including a 16 page booklet (same contents as the vinyl version)

For those who are still not familiar with this mandatory band (shame!) make sure to read this great writeup about their classic debut album “Life of dreams“, it’s the best way to get introduced to their awesome power… quote: “this was like the best of Bad Brains and Exodus rolled into one”!!! And IT’S SO TRUE!

Pre-orders start now, we’ll start to ship on July 9th 2015

AVAILABLE IN 3 DIFFERENT VERSIONS:

– Limited Black n’ Blue splatter (only 100 copies)

– Black vinyl (300 copies)

– 2xCD digipack
