The wide choice and alternation of sound variety in the F.O.A.D. Records’ release schedule has always been one of our greatest strengths, and this month was truly special from this perspective,  as we offered you a line of releases pushed to the limits of extremism, all based on noisecore, grind and powerviolence. As we ourselves are people who listen to many different genres, this choice perfectly reflects our taste and will always ensure that you can enjoy a very varied range of musical (and antimusical) genres, whilst always remaining within a strictly underground sphere. And we are happy to tell you that – in perfect timing with the announced date – this month’s 4 face-smashing hammers are here, ready to ship: EGO FIX “Total filth squad – discography 1995-1997” LP+CD, SISSY SPACEK “Benigemony asiniscrepancy” LP , SIDETRACKED / ISOLATION AS CULT – Split LP and SIDETRACKED “Rumination – collected works chapter I” digipack 2xCD..

All pre-orders have already been mailed and most of our worldwide distributors have their stocks arriving soon, so you can also find them from the usual suspects trafficking in our weapons of mass destruction. Stay tuned because obviously we plan to end the year with a bang and the recipe for December includes 5 gems ranging from the fiercest hardcore thrash to a milestone of Latin American chaos-punk…. enough said!

And keep an eye out for the discounted bundle with all 4 of these titles together, it’s an opportunity not to be missed and as a special bonus it also includes a free ISOLATION AS CULT “Phase #2” flexi disc!!

After a month entirely dedicated to 80s hardcore punk, with the big surprise that was given by the start of our INDIGESTI reissue plan, as announced – for this November 2023 we are radically changing course. Over the years it has become a bit of a tradition for one of the two end year months to be focused on the most complete aural extermination, with a string of noisecore releases. And that’s what we’re about to do with this new round of pre-orders.

There’s noisecore, but also old school grindcore and powerviolence. After years of work (you can see it from the catalog numbers which are far behind) we are pleased to be able to bring to light a very detailed 2002-2014 discography of the US powerhouse SIDETRACKED, with over 200 songs.

Also from SIDETRACKED, we can finally also announce their split LP with ISOLATION AS CULT, a monster-unit of noise/grind/punk extremism (180 songs on this split!) spawned by the insane joint venture of GTB (Cripple Bastards) and HOD (Toxic Basement Studio). And to stay at unprecedented levels of eardrum annihilation, we also have the brand new 12″ by SISSY SPACEK, a US noise/grind terror squad driven by blast beats at impossible speeds (special lineup with Sulfuric Cautery drummer!). And moving to more strictly old fashioned grindcore territories.. there’s also the 1995-1997 discography by EGO FIX, a devastating Japanese band that will delight fans of S.O.B., early Napalm Death, Warsore and so on… So, to summarize:  EGO FIX “Total filth squad – discography 1995-1997” LP+CD, SISSY SPACEK “Benigemony asiniscrepancy” LP, SIDETRACKED / ISOLATION AS CULT – Split LP and SIDETRACKED “Rumination – collected works chapter I” digipack 2xCD are all available on preorder via www.scareystore.com

All 4 will be premiered at the legendary Record Planet fair in Den Bosch, Netherlands (November 11-12) and we will start shipping around November 20th. Our suggestions are always the same: no stress before the release date, act fast if you want to secure copies on colored vinyl, all releases are very limited… And keep an eye out for the discounted bundle with all 4 of these titles together, it’s an opportunity not to be missed and as a special bonus it also includes a free ISOLATION AS CULT “Phase #2” flexi disc!!

We’re proud to announce that ISOLATION AS CULT have just released a new flexi disc EP on Slaughterhouse Records (Toxic Basement Studio‘s own label) and FOAD/Scareystore is the official distributor of this horrendous aural hecatomb!

One year after the sonic decimation of their 90 song Split 7″ with Aborticidio on FOAD Records, ISOLATION AS CULT returns with a new overdose of anti-musical virulence. 113 songs of complete Noisecore nihilism, hopeless and exacerbated to the most insane thresholds, combining the old school extremism of 7MON, Fear Of God, VNA, AxCx, early Cripple Bastards with Japanese filthnoisepunk influences (Gai, Confuse, Toxo-Vomit, State Children)!!

IAC from Italy is a revived early ’90s aberration of GTB from Cripple Bastards teaming up with HOD, chief of the infamous “Toxic Basement Studio” from which most FOAD releases are conceived and properly mastered for vinyl. If you’re a nostalgic of late 80s / early 90s short song Noisecore in the vein of Stench Of Corpse, Sore Throat, Crawl Noise and so on, this is exactly that kind of madness. Round cut, green flexi disc limited to 250 copies!

After an uxnepected delay due to the pressing plant being ultra-congested by year end orders, we are pleased to announce that 2 new FOAD releases are finally here and ready to ship. As previously announced, once again we are pummelling your eardrums with a double dose of the most ripping and punishing Noisecore you can think of… FEAR OF GOD “Pneumatic slaughter – extended version” gatefold LP (ltd picture disc / colored vinyl / black vinyl) and ISOLATION AS CULT / ABORTICIDIO split 7″ (splatter vinyl) are out now!! We are starting to pack and ship all preorders now and they’ll be all mailed by early next week the latest. Once you’ll see the highly deluxe packaging of F.O.G. you’ll realize that it has been worth the extra wait: thick gatefold printed even inside its pockets, extra silver foil print, partial UV inserts… simply INSANE!  So more in detail about each release:

FEAR OF GOD “Pneumatic slaughter – extended version” gatefold LP + poster (F.O.A.D. 084)

4th and last installment in the high-quality FEAR OF GOD vinyl series on F.O.A.D. Records… for those who aren’t familiar to what was released before: “s/t” 7″ as picture disc gatefold EP, “As statues fell” (extended version) as gatefold LP (black, white and picture disc), “Under the chainsaw” (“Konserven” demo + tons of bonus tracks) as gatefold LP (black, blue and picture disc). This LP collects the band’s legendary “Pneumatic slaughter” EP with 6 bonus tracks from the same show (Live 13/2/1988 @ AJZ Reithalle, Bern, Switzerland) + the complete ultra-brutal Burlandingen gig (9/1/1988), for a total of 48 tracks, also featuring covers of GAI, FATAL VISION, SIEGE and LÄRM.

Each session transferred from 1st generation mastertapes provided by Erich Keller and specially mastered for vinyl at Toxic Basement Studio, a guarantee of sonic excellence on this kind of works.  It captures the rawness and mindblowing aggression of F.O.G. at the top of their devastating extremity, with that unique sound no band has been ever able to outdo in terms of brutality and annihilation. You don’t need many words to explain how this sounds like. Every single frame of FEAR OF GOD is the most extreme and brutal delivery of what has been ever conceived in the clash of sounds between Noisecore and Hardcore.

As Erich states: “Hardcore, grindcore, death metal, noise, fuckshitupism – whatever. We didn’t agree on much, but on the following we were unanimous – that Fear Of God should be the most extreme band in the world, or as we would say, the most “brutal.” Every member of the band was under pressure to deliver his contribution with the utmost intensity. The drums had to go as fast as possible, the guitars should grind out riffs as well as produce a wall of noise, the bass and backing vocals should lay the heavily distorted grounds for the overall basic structure and I did everything I could to make my voice sound non-human.” Housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with transparent UV-spot and silver foil print + A2 poster with unreleased art by Morbid Mark!

Available in 3 different versions:

DIE-HARD PICTURE DISC LP ltd to 166 copies

SILVER VINYL ltd to 250 copies

BLACK VINYL

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

ISOLATION AS CULT / ABORTICIDIO Split 7″ (F.O.A.D. 097)

Ultra-limited edition of 200 copies on marbled green vinyl ranging from dark green to water green to turquoise. One of the sickest and most extreme releases in the entire F.O.A.D. Records‘ discography. ISOLATION AS CULT from Italy is a revived early ’90s aberration of GTB from Cripple Bastards teaming up with HOD, chief of the infamous Toxic Basement Studio from which most FOAD releases are conceived and properly mastered for vinyl. If you’re a nostalgic of late 80s / early 90s short song Noisecore in the vein of 7MON, AxCx, Stench Of Corpse, Sore Throat, V.N.A., Tumor, early C.B. and so on, this is exactly that kind of madness. Following to the impossible to find “Pazi brzinu” demotape 1990, this new split EP is an ear-mangling 90-song-in-less-than-3-minutes bombing made of hyper blasting drum ferocity, wall of noise guitar fuzziness and the insane vocal delivery Cripple Bastards are known for.

ABORTICIDIO from Mexico is a fantastic Noise/Punk trio with a sound all devoted to the ancient Japanese masters of dustnoise rawness… They remind of GAI, CONFUSE, The SWANKYS, STATE CHILDREN and other acoustic destroyers of that 80s wave. Their side consists of 2 unreleased songs, following 2 previous tapes, 2 singles and 1 super-rare onesided lathe cut.
