Here we are in full summer season, perhaps one of the busiest times of the year for all of us, between the open air festivals that we attend with the massive F.O.A.D. booth and the multitude of orders to be processed.. so let’s go straight to the point to announce that in perfect timing with our schedule, we’re at the release date of the batch of sonic aberrations for which we had opened pre-orders on August 1st: REGURGITATE “Effortless regurgitation of bright red blood” LP / MC and “The torture sessions” LP / MC, W.B.I. “Storm from the baltic sea – Early massacres 1987-1991” LP+CD, TERRORIZER “Before the downfall 1987-1989” 2xLP+CD and 2xMC Box set, INSECT WARFARE “Entomological siege 2004-2009” 2xMC Box set… a month entirely dedicated to the fiercest and most annihilating grindcore.

Thank you all for the countless orders and support. Over half of pre-orders have already been shipped, we expect to mail the remaining ones by the end of this week, please be patient a little longer. As expected, the diehard versions of the two Regurgitate LP’s are completely sold out, the black ones are also going very fast, so don’t sleep on them! Our distributors around the world will also be receiving their copies shortly, so keep an eye out for your trusted local retailer. And watch out because the next month will completely change course, surely many of you miss the typical FOAD month entirely dedicated to Japanese metal/punk… well, that’s what you’ll get in September – with 5x thrash hardcore rippers from the land of the rising sun, era: 1989 to 1996.. Stay tuned!

4th reissue of this total Grindcore classic on FOAD Records, finally back in stock in a new, upgraded version (just like the 2020’s pressing) with 1 extra song (“Funeral bitch” – Master cover) that was accidentally missing in the first two editions, and exclusive A2 poster.

The ultimate early years’ anthology from LA’s godfathers of GRIND, the one and only… TERRORIZER! This monsterwork starts off with “Collapse”, a completely unreleased song from the “World downfall” studio session unearthed from the band’s secret archives.. next is an alternative take of their split tape with NAUSEA (1988) that sounds like machine-gun fire in the face and then you can enjoy all their existing demos and early works in astonishingly great sound quality, mastered with total audiophile passion from the best sounding sources in existence!!  Some of these recordings are the reason why Shane Embury of Napalm Death back in his tape-trading days got completely crazy for them and persuaded Earache to sign them and bring to light “World downfall” (when the band was already on hiatus). “Countless blast warriors still strive for this classic sound and catchy song structure, but no one can match it on Oscar Garcia’s pitch(less) caveman growl!

Here we are again, as anticipated – there were no F.O.A.D. releases in July, we took a month off to take care of all the orders related to the gigantic AxCx boxset and to tidy up our workspaces a bit. However, we had promised to return with a bloody blast, and we’re practically back with the same insanity with which we left off, because this month too is not for the weak. There’s some Noisecore again – with a manic collection of rare early works by our favorite German psychopaths W.B.I., but above all there’s an avalanche of ruthless grindcore – with 3 bands that really made the history of the genre. On the Gore/Grind side we are finally pleased to reissue all the early day recordings of the Swedish gods REGURGITATE, after almost 3 years of negotiations to get to this result. It had been a long time since a well done reissue of “Effortless regurgitation of bright red blood” had been seen and the one on PIU, in addition to having become expensive and difficult to find, was not a standalone album but a sort of incomplete compilation of assorted recordings.

Finally here you get “Effortless regurgitation…” alone as it was in its first version on Lowland in 1994. And in addition we decided to create a separate LP with the infamous “Torture sessions” which is a collection of RGTE demos and singles from 1991 to 1993.  Both available on LP and MC. In addition to these – which are the main course of the month – by popular demand we have decided to reissue TERRORIZER‘s “Before the downfall 1987-1989” both on vinyl in its fourth edition, this time with yellowish sleeve (the previous ones were orange, blue and green) and for the first time also on cassette, in a special double set. And since this month we let ourselves get carried away on the cassette side, we have also added the MC edition of another of our grindcore highlights, namely INSECT WARFARE “Entomological siege”! So to recap – this month’s FOAD bloodbath consists of: REGURGITATE “Effortless regurgitation of bright red blood” LP / MC, REGURGITATE “The torture sessions” LP / MC, W.B.I. “Storm from the baltic sea – Early massacres 1987-1991” LP+CD, TERRORIZER “Before the downfall 1987-1989” 2xLP+CD and 2xTape box, INSECT WARFARE “Entomological siege 2004-2009” 2xTape box. They are all available for pre-order via www.scareystore.com – we will also have them all premiered at Party San Open Air where we will be with a F.O.A.D. booth of unprecedented size, from 10th to 12th August. As usual we suggest you to blast fast on the preorder button if you want to grab the diehard splatter vinyl versions because they won’t last for long. NOTE: the out now date for all these has been set for August 21st. Please consider that we work like crazies every day and that in the summer some of us also attend open air festivals with the label’s stand, in the case of the recent AxCx pre-orders the amount of useless requests such as “have you shipped?”, “can I have the tracking” etc, long before the release date, has really gotten out of control. All this only generates stress and unnecessary waste of time in replying, please be patient, we do our best to process orders as quickly as possible using good shipping services, everything comes in its turn, days last only 24 hours and we spend the most of our time by working to the fullest, taking care of all this…

RxDxPx performing TERVEET KÄDET’s legendary 7″ ” Ääretön Joulu” (1982)!  One of the greatest singles in the history of hardcore punk masterfully reinterpreted in its entirety by Brazil’s stainless thrashcore kings.
You surely know what to expect from a titan showdown like this:  speed, ferocious energy and sheer hardcore intensity!  10 songs – recorded in 2022, all sung in Portuguese so that “Pissaa ja paskaa” becomes “Fuder a empregada”, “Outo maa” is “Rosca solta” and so on.  A must for every hardcore maniac! Watch the trailer HERE

CRIPPLE BASTARDS  “From 1988 to 1991” 2xLP (F.O.A.D. 288)

An infamous collection of very early C.B. recordings (with the two piece line-up consisting of Alberto The Crippler on guitar/vocals and Giulio The Bastard on drums/vocals)..: 336 SONGS – ASTI NOISE-GRIND PUNK at its roughest stage. Official reissue of CB’s most circulated tape, originally released in 1992, finally consecrated on vinyl… an unbelievable bloodbath of lo-fi rawness going from the embryonic thrashing punk/grind days to the radical nihilism of the band’s noisecore phase. This tape was the roots of Italian grindcore and the link between the end of an era (the unforgettable furious years of Italy’s hardcore punk pioneers) and the beginning of a new one more based on noise and manic speed.  Ripped from pristine 1st generation sources and painstakingly remastered song by song at Toxic Basement Studio in 2022 to celebrate the 30th year anniversary since its first edition, this is hands down the best sounding version to date. Includes A2 insert/poster with scans of the original tape, photos, liner notes and a massive reproduction of the 1992 flyer. Watch the trailer HERE

Back in stock by popular demand. Get ready for a pulverising sonic hecatomb delivered by Texas’ unmatchable Grindcore assassins! The ultimate INSECT WARFARE collection including all their singles, demos, compilation tracks, out takes and alternate recordings, unreleased tracks and rare live material… 99 songs, nearly 3 hours of merciless brutality. All scrupulously mastered for the best sonic deflagration!

Time has come for the first announcement of 2023, and as we told you, the intention is to start the year with a carpet bombing! For this reason we have chosen a truly mind-boggling selection of bands, each of which needs no long introduction – ranging from the most ferocious hardcore thrash (RATOS DE PORÂO covering Terveet Kädet and CRIPPLE BASTARDS at their most vandalistic punk oriented early phase) and taking everything to extremes with some classic deathly grind, this is the case of a longly awaited anthology of early works by DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA and the second pressing of INSECT WARFARE‘s “Entomological siege”, a true classic and FOAD best seller which by popular demand, had to be available again.  So in a nutshell we have already told you everything, our cauldron of sickness for January consists of: DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA “Repulsive overtones?  1988-1989” 2xLP+CD and digipack 2xCD, RATOS DE PORÂO  “Isentön päunokü” 10″MLP, CRIPPLE BASTARDS  “From 1988 to 1991” 2xLP and INSECT WARFARE “Entomological siege 2004/2009” 2xCD+DVD boxset (2nd pressing).

We would like to point out that releases like Disharmonic Orchestra fully represent what was the starting intent of the label: we grew up listening to this stuff and it is part of our musical backbone, one of the basic ideas of when F.O.A.D. started focusing on vinyl works was about “releasing the music that we grew up with and that has meant something special to us through the years” and an anthology like this embodies that spirit to perfection. The planned out-now date for this hellish quartet is January 23rd, there may be slight delays on the two CD editions but as usual you know that you can rest easy with F.O.A.D. because we will do everything to ship as quickly as possible in order to leave you satisfied and keep up with our crazy monthly schedule! As usual, and we’ll never get tired of saying it, don’t sleep on the diehard editions because they will run out quickly, if you look at last month’s batch, 4 out of 5 are all gone.

Consider the fact that we have a limitation on the number of packages that we can ship daily because we have repeatedly clogged the local postal warehouses with indescribable quantities of packages and Mbags, so we have to stick to a certain number of units to be mailed daily. This is is slowing things down a bit, but we’re doing our best to be as quick as possible. Some orders have been already sent in the last few days, some are going out soon. For any enquiries, feel free to email us but once again: be patient.

The diehard boxset versions of INSECT WARFARE (colored vinyl sets + slipmat or patch) have been completely sold out on preorder. We still have the black vinyl version that has the same audio and visual contents. And the stunning 2xCD+DVD box of course.

As for SIEGE, we still have a handful of copies of the diehard splatter versions (approx 20 of each) so don’t miss the chance, be fast!

SIEGE “Drop dead – complete discography” 2xLP gatefold (F.O.A.D. 171)

Not many words needed to introduce SIEGE: they’re the undisputed generators of all hyper-speed Hardcore, Grindcore and blasting fast Thrash and have massively influenced a world of maniacs bringing musical extremities to the most outraegous boundaries, the first most obvious example being Napalm Death that mentioned them as an inspiration since the “Scum” era and covered “Walls” on their legendary Mick-Shane-Bill-Lee times Peel Sessions, or Heresy that covered “Conform” and the list goes on forever! In the early ’80s SIEGE paved their way into the violent Weymouth/Boston Hardcore scene delivering the fastest and most furious Hardcore ever heard. This double LP collection is the first ever official SIEGE release in Europe and their definitive, most complete discography to date, consisting of:

– “Drop dead” studio session 1984
– “Cleanse the bacteria” tracks 1984
– Out takes from the original 1984 studio session
– Lost session 1991 with Seth Putnam on vocals
– UNRELEASED version of “Grim reaper”

All remastered for vinyl from the best audio sources in existence. Housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with silver hot foil stamp logo on the front and partial UV print, including a booklet with rare and never seen before photos, lyrics, original artworks.

We’re finally approaching July, a crucial month at F.O.A.D. Records as it coincides with the Obscene Extreme Festival… we always have a special string of releases planned to be premiered at what we repute the best extreme festival on Earth. And for this year’s edition we really outdid ourselves preparing two ultra-classic discographies that sum up the real core of what we’re talking about and our conception of extreme, fast, furious and GRIND. After being in the works for years we’re proud to announce the ultimate INSECT WARFARE anthology “Entomological siege 2004/2009“, an avalanche of grinding brutality collecting all their 7″s, splits, compilation tracks, out takes, unreleased stuff and more.

Available in 4 different versions (2 limited box sets, a trifold sleeve 3xLP+DVD set, and a 2xCD+DVD digipack… more details to follow). And the other giant we had in the pipeline is nothing else by SIEGE, hands down one of the most important bands worldwide if you think about who started it all and influenced a universe of psychos thirsty for the fastest and most aggressive Hardcore Thrash violence. They were playing at the speed of light in a time when crossing certain limits was still completely inconceivable. And you know what to expect when a band like SIEGE gets the F.O.A.D. treatment.. the most exhaustive, detailed and made with heart discography ever seen.

So to go straight to the point: INSECT WARFARE “Entomological siege 2004-2009” 3xLP+DVD and 2xCD+DVD sets and SIEGE “Drop dead – complete discography” double LP are up for preorders. Read carefully all details about the different versions available and blast fast if you want to get the limited versions because they’re expected to be wiped out in the blink of an eye! And if you’re coming to Obscene Extreme, make sure to stop at the F.O.A.D. tent in the Grind Market area, both releases will be premiered there. If you’re preordering via scareystore.com keep in mind that we’ll start to ship on July 22nd 2019.
