ANAL CUNT “Early shit 1988-1991” Boxset (6xLPs+book), GENITAL MASTICATOR “From originality to vulgarity” and V.N.A. “Complete deafness 1988-1989” LP… preorders start NOW!!
As some of you may have noticed, we’re already at our 305th release (last month’s Sonic Terrorism / Morbid Agression split LP) but F.O.A.D. 200 and F.O.A.D. 300 are missing from our catalog. It’s in our tradition to dedicate “big” numbers to very important releases that are particularly close to our hearts. And in most cases this kind of releases take a lot of time (years) to be completed. Anyway we finally made it, we’re at the magical day of F.O.A.D. 200! It has already been widely revealed on our FB/IG pages in the past weeks. Well yes, it’s a colossal box set by ANAL CUNT, collecting all their recordings from 1988 to 1991 spanned through 6 x LP’s. We started working on this colossus over two years ago.
It all came from the idea of our old friend Ölaf Korth (W.B.I., Flachenbrand) who put us in touch with Seth Putnam’s mom Barbara, who owns the rights to all of her son’s music (except the Earache albums). From there an incredible team-work developed with the collaboration of former AxCx members, close friends of the band and the constant supervision of Barbara. It’s a project studied and assembled with the utmost attention and care over a long period of time.. you can’t do better than this. 6 x LP’s and a 72 page book. The LP’s compile all the demos, 7″s, splits, comp. tracks, rehearsals, unplugged and live (selected best quality ones) from the first period in which the band didn’t yet give titles to songs. To be clear, the line-up with Seth, Tim, Mike and (later) Fred. For us this time-frame of AxCx is one of the absolute peaks of noisecore and extreme music in general and we are honored to do justice with such a detailed anthology. In combination with this antimusical giant we could only add two other classics of the most extremist noisecore of that era. From the Canary Islands the mighty GENITAL MASTICATOR, with their demo “From originality to vulgarity” for the first time on LP 30 years after its inception and from France, V.N.A. – already released on F.O.A.D. in 2015 – but by popular demand we decided to give it another pressing, repackaged with different colors sleeve. So to cut it short, this month is an ear-smashing sonic hecatomb and consists of: ANAL CUNT “Early shit 1988-1991” Boxset (6xLPs+book), GENITAL MASTICATOR “From originality to vulgarity” and V.N.A. “Complete deafness 1988-1989” LP. They are all available for pre-order via www.scareystore.com! Since we are expecting a huge amount of requests, we have set June 30th as release date so that we have time to carefully prepare all packages and answer all emails. If you are having difficulty ordering, especially if it’s an order with multiple copies of considerable weight, please do not hesitate to contact us at foadrecords@gmail.com for immediate assistance. As usual we suggest you to act fast if you want to get the diehard versions because it’s quite sure that they will run out quickly.
Now going into more detail on each single release:

GENITAL MASTICATOR “From originality to vulgarity” LP (F.O.A.D. 304)
Official reissue of the cult demotape self-released by the band’s own label Cadaverizer Records 30 years ago… now for the first time on vinyl.
444 SONGS, extremely radical Noisecore ferocity from the Canary Islands. One of the sperheads of the deranged Spanish Noise/Grind scene in the ’90s that spawned sonic aberrations such as Violent Headache, Psychotic Noise, Excreted Alive, Potabilizadora, Pestufator, L.D.K. and countless more. Sourced from the band’s master to preserve all its unrelented brutality and sickness. Complete anti-musical catastrophe in its most deadly incarnation, if you’re looking for riffs, technicality and arrangements.. FUCK OFF!!
Includes insert with photos of the time, scans of the original tape and liner notes. Watch the trailer HERE
Available in the following versions:
Black vinyl limited to 200 copies
Diehard marble grey vinyl limited to 100 copies

V.N.A. “Complete deafness 1988-1989” LP (F.O.A.D. 094)
Re-edition (with different sleeve colors) of this cult French Grind/Noisecore hammer originally released on F.O.A.D. in 2015 and sold out very quickly! Total discography of this terrifying unit hailing from France… V.N.A. (Violent Noise Attack) was the side-project of a crew of friends from the late 80ies French scene formed by members of the Thrash band NOMED, Patrick from the highly missed label “Thrash Records” (that released Exit 13, Carbonized, Sorcery, Sentenced, Vital Remains etc) and local HC bands/zine editors. Their debut demotape “Final execution”, the split 7″ with AGATHOCLES and the song on “1984, the fourth” Comp. LP have been always seen as some of the most intense and devastating expressions of the early short-song Grind/Noisecore era, worshipped by the most deranged noise extremists all over the world. Try to imagine a mix of SORE THROAT, NAPALM DEATH’s b-side of “Scum” and FEAR OF GOD and you get the idea of the brain-drilling mayhem these maniacs were able to deliver, with a studio production that was fairly above the average level of the period. This LP collects all their existing recordings, mastered from sources directly provided and licensed by band members.. 90 SONGS of absolute ear blasting horror! Side A includes their demo (1988), the split 7″ with AGATHOCLES (1989) and a couple of unreleased studio tracks. Side B has all never heard before stuff: a rehearsal, a full live set and even a sound-check! Comes with a 4 page insert featuring liner notes, photos, original artworks and flyers. This record is entirely dedicated to VNA’s members André Lemesle and Patrick Blondeau that both passed away few years ago.. R.I.P.! Watch the trailer HERE
