Posted in Crawl Noise, Poison, Releases on March 21st, 2019 by foadmaster2022

Springtime at FOAD kicks in with a pestilent wind of mephitic sonic terror!  As announced, our double retaliatory assault for this month consist of two pioneering bands from Switzerland and Germany, the first delivering some of the most extreme and anti-musical Noise / Grind brutality ever conceived and the second is a Black / Death Metal legend that forged the darkest history of the ’80s Teutonic underground. We are glad to let you know that CRAWL NOISEWall of Noise Core 1987-1989” LP and POISONInto the abyss – Resurrected” LP+CD are both OUT NOW on F.O.A.D. Records!  As expected the diehard edition of POISONInto the abyss” on splatter vinyl was sold out in few days. We still have it on black vinyl ltd to 200 copies. And if you’re looking for the dirty white swirl vinyl version of CRAWL NOISE (ltd to 100) we suggest you to act fast as there aren’t many left!

More in detail about each release: 

CRAWL NOISE “Wall of noisecore” LP (F.O.A.D. 158)

Get ready for a merciless audio slaughter and ruin your turntable needle forever!! CRAWL NOISE were a terrorizing Swiss unit that decimated eardrums in that late 80’s phase (1987 to 1989) when Grindcore was starting to spread all around and some maniacs tried to push the genre to even fiercer extremes, giving birth to the whole short-song Noisecore saga of bands like 7 MINUTES OF NAUSEA, ANAL CUNT, VIOLENT NOISE ATTACK, STENCH OF CORPSE, SOUND POLLUTION, TUMOR and so on. CRAWL NOISE were clearly inspired by early NAPALM DEATH and SORE THROAT, but they pushed the level of madness and brutality to way more devastating boundaries. And their drummer Osi was then called to join the mighty FEAR OF GOD, so try to imagine how fast he was. As Erich Keller states: “After I saw Crawl Noise live, I tried everything to steal the drummer Osi for my own band Fear Of God.” This LP includes all their existing recordings: the first demo “Musical rape” (1988), their Demo #2 (1989) and two complete live sets from 1987 to 1988 (one was included on the B-side of their only 7″ and the other in some killer compilation tapes like “Rudi Rat 1” and SOA’s “Use your anger“).

What you get here is a deadly tornado of aberrant, antimusical Noisecore putrefaction blasting through impossibly fast drumming delirium, some awful background noise that could be a guitar/bass as much as a microphone pushed into a cement mixer, and at the top of all some of the most disturbing vomited grunts you can think of. Countless tracks,  complete acoustic demolition! Includes an insert with liner notes and original artworks from their few releases around at the time! Click HERE for the trailer!

Available in 2 different versions:

Diehard swirl filthy white vinyl strictly limited to 100 copies

Black vinyl limited to 200

==================

POISON “Into the abyss – Resurrected” LP + CD + poster (F.O.A.D. 162)

POISON’s infernal cult is alive!! Just when you thought that it was all said and done with FOAD‘s monster-work “Hoelle und vernichtung” (a colossal boxset including the band’s complete discography), the wizard of darkness and evil Uli Hildenbrand unearthed from his rotting vaults a lost & found mastertape of “Into the abyss” transfered directly from the studio reels back in 1987, unlike all the previously existing re-issues that were all taken from the 1st vinyl pressing. This version is the most pristine and faithful to the original studio recordings you can think of, sounding farly better than any other release around. Pure infernal armageddon from one of the most ancient pioneering Black / Death Metal hellhounds of the mittel-European scene of the 80’s. Originally recorded in 1986, released on tape in 1987 and then 6 years later on vinyl/LP by Median Creations, “Into the abyss” is the only real studio recording of this blasphemic Teutonic horde and hands down their most powerful production, considering that the previous demos were all rough DIY recordings made in their practice space.

What you will find on this masterpiece is pummeling and barbaric death / thrash metal with plenty of early black metal elements from their earlier works. The progress this band had made in less then a year of their previous recording is remarkable, but at the same time, when looking at each demo in chronological order, you see a steady progression in their sound from recording to recording, so seeing the band improve this much should not really be a shocker. “Into the abyss” is essential for anyone even remotely into brutal, vicious 80’s death/thrash, as well as old school black metal and the mid-late 80’s proto-death metal sound. LP with bonus CD and A2 poster with photos and liner notes (written by Uli Hildenbrand). Click HERE for the trailer!

Black vinyl limited to 200 copies

Official POISON “Into the abyss” t-shirts can be ordered here

CRAWL NOISE “Wall of Noisecore” LP and POISON “Into the abyss – resurrected” LP+CD: preorders start NOW!!

Posted in Crawl Noise, Poison, Pre Orders, Releases on March 12th, 2019 by foadmaster2022

After the surprise blitz with the ultra-limited Grimcorpses and Sidetracked EPs (sold out in minutes) here we are again, ready to announce 2 more releases for this month. As many of you know, FOAD Records has a long tradition in putting out the most extreme and cacophonous Noise/Grind detonators, just think of bands like Tumor, V.N.A., Sore Throat, 7 Minutes Of Nausea, Fear Of God, Noise, early Cripple Bastards and so on.. So when Patrick from CRAWL NOISE contacted us asking if we would have liked the idea of putting out a total CN discography, we obviously flew off the desk accepting without second thoughts. Not many labels around would dare to do something like this, but we grew up listening to this horrifying barrage of “musical rape“, so we’re proud to make it happen.

And what about the other LP scheduled for this announcement? Nothing else but POISON. If you think that after doing all their demos on single LPs and then the massive “Hoelle und vernichtung” boxset all cards have been played you’ll be surprised by this. Few months ago Uli “Angel Of Death” Hildenbrand contacted us explaining that he had just found a tape including a great sounding reel-to-tape transfer of the classic “Into the abyss” album (originally recorded in 1987), so we compared it to all the previous re-editions and this one is with no doubt the real deal, it totally rips! So we agreed about a final, top sounding (well we can’t say “audiophile” for Poison!) LP version of “Into the abyss” as we consider it a timeless masterpiece of true pioneering Black / Death Metal, and it completely deserves to be rediscovered and appreciated in the sound quality as faithful as possible to how it was conceived at the time.

So preorders for CRAWL NOISEWall of Noisecore 1987/1989” LP and POISONInto the abyss – Resurrected” LP+CD are up now. There are some limited editions on swirl and splatter vinyl, only 100 copies x each release… you know what to do! Also, in conjunction with these releases we have just printed some official POISON tshirts, they are limited and we’re not planning to keep them in stock after selling out this first run, so better act fast!

F.O.A.D. ultra-limited specials: GRIMCORPSES “Demo 1987″ flexi disc 7” and SIDETRACKED “Annihiliation doctrine” 5″ are OUT NOW!!

Posted in Grimcorpses, Releases, Sidetracked on March 5th, 2019 by foadmaster2022

Only 10 days have passed since we announced our last 2 releases and we’re ready to kill again! This time things are quite unusual as there are no preorders for these and both items are extremely limited, so they will probably go at the speed of light.  On one hand this is a little bit of an experiment taking two records that for a reason or another were conceived to be in special formats breaking our typical schemes, available in very low quantity, on the other hand these have been manufactured by a company that worked with incredible slowness (7 months!) and were delivered without notice totally out of our release schedule.. so in few words, now that they are here after such a wait, let’s get them out immediately.

Take this as a noisy appetizer before our full length March releases that will be announced soon, we wish you to be fast enough to grab your copy. So for this special ultra-limited round we chose the pre-CRIPPLE BASTARDS band, GRIMCORPSES, bringing back to light their grotesque, caveman-sounding Demo 1987 on flexi disc and matched them with a ballistic 32 song one-sided EP by the US powerviolence/fast HC psychos SIDETRACKED that will smash you on the ground in seconds like a truck at full speed.  So GRIMCORPSESDemo 1987” flexi disc EP and SIDETRACKEDAnnihilation doctrine” 5″ are out now on F.O.A.D. Records. All that we recommend you is to be fast if you don’t want to miss them.

More in detail about each release:

GRIMCORPSES “Demo 1987” flexi disc 7″ (F.O.A.D. 164)

Ultra-limited crystal clear flexi disc, housed in a highly collectible blood dripping plastic sleeve… only 30 copies made!!
GRIMCORPSES was the shortly lived pre-CRIPPLE BASTARDS outfit featuring Alberto the Crippler on guitar/vocals and Giulio The Bastard on drums. This is the only existing Demo, recorded in 1987. 9 x festering stabs of rough as fuck, untalented proto-Grindcore / Thrash made by school kids that had just approached the genre listening to bands such as Cryptic Slaughter, Septic Death, ENT, Siege and wanted to play something so fast and extreme with no skills at all. The end result is a disastrous blurr-feast of out of time blasts, savage yells and a few embryonic ideas later rearranged and improved by the Cripple Bastards.  If Agonia was the first trace of involuntary noisecore ever appeared in Italy and Schizo gave birth to the very first Italian blast beats, GRIMCORPSES was probably the earliest sign of Grindcore in this country.  Click HERE for the trailer!

==================

SIDETRACKED “Annihilation doctrine” 5″ (F.OA.D. 157)

One sided crystal clear 5″ EP, only 30 copies made!! 32 songs of hyperfast, face-slamming Noisecore/PowerViolence breaking all barriers of schizophrenia. Many of you are already familiar with this insane US unit for their turbo-speed HC PowerViolence made of rapid songs, neck breaking tempo changes and ferocious vocals, on this EP things get even faster, bordering on Noisecore territories with a cyclone of micro-tracks hitting you like a butcher’s hook in the stomach. This would have perfectly fit in the Slap A Ham’s “Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh!” releases… it’s short, inhumany fast and SICK!
