CARNAGE “The day man lost… / Infestation of evil – The 1989 demos” LP, CATASEXUAL URGE MOTIVATION “The encyclopedia of serial murders” Trifold 2LP, ROTTING FLESH “Mesologic colliquative effects upon…” LP, DYSENTERY “…brings me no tears” LP and NECROLEPSY “Necrology” LP+CD… preorders start NOW!!
What we are about to announce is a really important month for us, under a variety of factors. As you’ll be able to see there’s again a noticeable shift of genres from what we’ve put out in previous months, and this proves the variety and multiformity of F.O.A.D.’s taste and a production schedule that is always broad and never fossilized to a standard. But beyond that: there’s a truly incredible release, the 1989 collection of demos and rarities by Sweden’s death metal pioneers CARNAGE, made under the constant supervision of the legend that is Mike Amott. This release is especially close to our hearts because it took us several years to bring it to light and it’s a bit of a symbol of a small-big victory after internal vicissitudes that took turns in our team years ago, those who know us more closely know what we’re talking about. Also, another big news: this month also marks the beginning of a very interesting collaboration. In addition to CARNAGE, the other four releases (all death/grind-themed) we’re about to announce are the result of F.O.A.D. Records and Nuclear Abominations Records joining forces to complete a series of projects that have been in the works for a long time. And we’re off to a great start with 4x true gems of deadly rot: CATASEXUAL URGE MOTIVATION from Japan, ROTTING FLESH from Brazil, DYSENTERY from Germany and NECROLEPSY from Finland. This is just the beginning of this collaboration, every now and then in the times to follow we will do a dedicated N.A.&F.O.A.D. month with additional releases proposed and organized by N.A., and believe us there are really interesting ideas on fire.
But back to us and getting straight to the point.. the 5x sonic atrocities we have made for this month are: CARNAGE “The day man lost… / Infestation of evil – The 1989 demos” LP, CATASEXUAL URGE MOTIVATION “The encyclopedia of serial murders” Trifold 2LP, ROTTING FLESH “Mesologic Colliquative effects upon…” LP, DYSENTERY “…brings me no tears” LP and NECROLEPSY “Necrology” LP+CD… Pre-orders start now at www.scareystore.com and the official release date is planned for May 17, so that we can stay on schedule for the next round, which will again be very busy (5 more releases in June!). As usual we’re offering a limited BUNDLE with diehard editions of all 5, so as to facilitate those who want to buy them in bulk at a discounted price. And as usual we advise you to act fast, especially on the splatter/color versions because they will surely run out at the speed of light!
