New, expanded version of DISCHARGE “Noise not music” Audio & Visual history 1980-1983 BOOK + 4 x CD with 36 additional pages and loads of extra audio content than the vinyl box set released 5 years ago on F.O.A.D. Records.

Collected across this revised and expanded edition of 4 x CD’s, and accompanied by a hardback book with 100 full-color pages of rare band photos, flyers and original magazine features, is a monstrously detailed historical dissemination documenting the band’s unrelenting assault upon HC punk audiences worldwide”.

4 x Swedish hardcore rippers and the definitive, expanded version of the classic DISCHARGE “Noise not music” book enriched by a 4 x CD set with rare recordings 1980-1983… this is what we offer you this month, nothing more and nothing less! Another glorious hardcore death-race on F.O.A.D., the result of the usual manic work of painstaking research and assembly.  And a pairing that fits perfectly: there’s no doubt that Discharge had a strong influence on the first wave of Scandinavian hardcore, so putting together 4 x Swedish HC ragers from the 80s and a mammoth audio & visual collection on Discharge from their 1980-19893 heyday is surely a formula that will be enjoyed by many… All the Swedish releases have been made with the support of Uproar Records and consist of: the fuzzy and irreverent TATUERADE SNUTKUKAR, with their primitive and rough hardcore “trash” attack; the obscurity of ORAL, with straightforward hardcore in pure Scandinavian school (think Anti Cimex, Totalitär, Avskum); KRUNCH – on their second F.O.A.D. release, this time a complete collection of all their singles released in the 80s, and NYX NEGATIV with by popular demand a reissue of the LP discography already released on F.O.A.D. two years ago.  What to say about the DISCHARGE book, to quote the mastermind that assembled this beast, namely Rich Walker of the legendary SORE THROAT: “In 1980, four teenagers from the darkest depths of Stoke On Trent exploded onto the world punk scene with the subtlety of a nuclear warhead detonation. Collected across this revised and expanded edition of 4 x CD’s, and accompanied by a hardback book with 100 full-color pages of rare band photos, flyers and original magazine features, is a monstrously detailed historical dissemination documenting the band’s unrelenting assault upon HC punk audiences worldwide”.

To sum up, June on F.O.A.D. Records will delight you with the following sonic crimes: DISCHARGE “Noise not music 1980-1983” BOOK + 4xCD, TATUERADE SNUTKUKAR “Complete Noise 1982-1986…” LP+CD, ORAL “Dystopisk Framtid” LP, KRUNCH “Honänu – En samling 1983/1989” LP and NYX NEGATIV “Kalrshamns Punks 1981-1984” LP (2nd edition). Preorders are up now at www.scareystore.com !!  As always, a few recommendations that we ask you to read and keep in mind: we have made available two different bundles at a discounted price.. one for those who want to grab all of this month’s releases together, and one including only the diehard versions of the 4 x Swedish HC releases. We suggest you to act fast because they are time limited and will expire before the out-now date (June 17).  PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OPENING OF THESE PRE-SALES WE HAVE ALSO APPLIED 10% OFF ON ALL VINYL AND CDS IN OUR HUGE MAILORDER CATALOG AT WWW.SCAREYSTORE.COM – don’t miss your chance!  And very last thing: we repeat it all the time but few people pay attention…the amount of orders we have to process daily is really challenging and stressful, especially when it comes to a pre-orders phase like this. Please don’t bombard us with requests that put us in a bind such as additions or replacement of items after the pre-order is complete, address changes, anxiety about getting the tracking number right away, and so on.  This wastes a lot of our time and slows down our schedule. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

We’ll get straight to the point with this post, because this is undoubtedly the busiest time of the year here at F.O.A.D. headquarters, and we’re rushing like crazies not to exceed the fixed deadlines, so that we can delight you with more sonic crimes on vinyl even over a sleepy month like August! As it  has been widely anticipated, this month’s recipe is a pulverizing international hardcore parade with 5 bands respectively from Chile, Sweden, Italy and Brazil. IGNORANTES “Parece que tuvimos demasiados hijitos” LP, SOUND OF DISASTER “Välfärd 1984-1985” LP,  NYX NEGATIV “Kalrshamns Punks 1981-1984” LP, RAW POWER “Mine to kill” Gatefold 2xLP and RATOS DE PORÃO “Necropolítica” Gatefold LP – they’re all OUT NOW and despite the fact that we’ve been away with our gigantic stand to work at the Obscene Extreme festival, all your preorders have been already shipped – perfectly in time with the planned release date!

For most of them our shipping service should have already sent you the tracking numbers automatically, for a remaining small part, you will receive em in the next few days. The diehard edition of NYX NEGATIV is already sold out, those of the other 4 are also going very fast, so don’t wait too long if you want to grab them. Stay tuned, next round we’ll deal with a quite different beast still remaining on rare and legendary material from the 80s.. obscurity and rawness guaranteed!

More in detail about each release:

IGNORANTES “Parece que tuvimos demasiados hijitos” LP (F.O.A.D. 260)

Raw, uncompromised nihilism from Chile’s premier fuzzed out hardcore punks! After multiple cassette only releases and 2 x 7″s here’s their first time on 12″… 13 tracks of snotty angry punk blending the simplistic in-your-face aggression of typical Latino-American taste with a noisy distorted approach recalling 80’s Japanese and British classics (Gai, Confuse, Chaos UK, Disorder). IGNORANTES stands above as one of the current gems of punk, their sound and attitude are totally spontaneous and out of the guts, without any ambition or intention. Quoting the singer Gabriel: “In the beginning we didn’t even try to go out and play. The idea was just to record once and that was it. Then we enjoyed the process of recording six or eight songs and that’s how it all started.” LP with large 6-panel foldout insert and lyric sheet.  Watch the trailer HERE

RAW POWER “Mine to kill” Gatefold 2xLP (F.O.A.D. 081)

Official reissue of RP’s iconic 4th album from 1989 adding as bonus LP the incredible lost&found 1st studio take (12 TRACKS!) recorded in Italy still with Helder on drums, available for the first time on vinyl! Another uppercut in the jaws showing RP at the top of the game crossovering their manic riff-oriented Hardcore with the most intense and raging Thrash assault. Together with the incredible masterpiece “Screams from the gutter” this is hands down the fastest and tightest delivery in the band’s discography of the first decade. As for all their previous releases on F.O.A.D., this has been scrupulously remastered from the 1st generation master at Toxic Basement studio, taking the original dynamics and sonic impact to the most powerful and energetic stage. As explained by the band: “RAW POWER began the recording of “Mine to kill” in Italy, at Umbi Studio, and when it came to an end there were discussions about the final product. The decision to re-record the album in England with a different producer saw Helder leave, the one most satisfied with the work they had just ended, and having already had a brief live experience with the other boys, Fabiano Bianco (Bloody Riot / Raff) replaced him on drums. The fourth album came out and the previous version was trashed. The bonus LP added to this version was what would have been “Mine to kill” at the beginning, feeling like the first real attempt to change the style and understanding even more how the personalities within Raw Power differed between them, something that has always characterized the band from any other reality”. Of those 12 tracks, 4 are completely unreleased as they haven’t been re-recorded on the final version of the album, and they simply kill! Raw, aggressive and dizzyingly precise Hardcore from Italy’s most iconic band of the unforgettable “furious years“! Comes in a thick gatefold sleeve with insert including rare photos and flyers of that time. Watch the trailer HERE

RATOS DE PORÃO “Necropolítica” Gatefold LP (F.O.A.D. 275)

The return of Brazil’s undisputed Thrash-Punk masters! 8 years after the acclaimed “Seculo sinistro“, RxDxPx are back with another slab of relentless, intense and socially engaged Crossover Thrash in their unmistakeable style, this time with a stronger-than-ever political message reflecting their absolute contempt against the authoritarian government that has plagued Brazil in recent years. Musically, with a career spanning through 5 decades, RATOS DE PORAO show no sign of weakening and reconfirm themselves as the absolute champions of South American Hardcore! 10 songs full of Metal and Punk mayhem keeping it fresh and dynamic at the same time, led by Jao’s manic riffing and Gordo’s massive, vitriolic shouts of rage. With no doubts the world’s most famous basement rats have nailed it another time with a devastating album, still sounding exciting and relevant, which is an amazing achievement in Punk that most other bands of that age can’t claim! Housed in a full glossy gatefold jacket with 12″x12″ booklet.  Watch the trailer HERE

Diehard half-half vinyl (black/red) limited to 150 copies

If you thought that the last F.O.A.D. month was going to be the craziest of the year with 5 vinyl gems pitting ultra-underground bands from Japan and Colombia, you ain’t seen nothing yet… because what we’re going to introduce today is literally a mindblowing hardcore royal flush and with no doubt one of the most destructive (and exhausting for us) schedules of recent memory. Once again 5 x vinyl releases – 4 single LPs and 1 double LP – consisting of a deadly selection of raw and thrashing heavyweights from countries that have already been well tested territories for F.O.A.D.: Chile, Sweden, Italy and Brazil. From Chile, the highly acclaimed fuzzed out punks IGNORANTES, from Sweden two crucial hardcore punk glories: SOUND OF DISASTER and NYX NEGATIV, from Italy none other than our brothers RAW POWER with a fantastic extended edition of one of their greatest abums and… last but not least, the LP version of RATOS DE PORÃO‘s brand new thrash granade “Necropolítica” many of you have been asking and waiting for. So to sum it all up: IGNORANTES “Parece que tuvimos demasiados hijitos” LP, SOUND OF DISASTER “Välfärd 1984-1985” LP,  NYX NEGATIV “Kalrshamns Punks 1981-1984” LP, RAW POWER “Mine to kill” Gatefold 2xLP and RATOS DE PORÃO “Necropolítica” Gatefold LP are all available on preorder via scareystore.com !!

Note: this month’s out now date will be slightly later than usual because we will be away for a week at the Obscene Extreme Festival, so it may happen that we’ll be a little slower than usual to ship preorders even if as you know we will do the impossible to do everything in time. If you’re coming to the Obscene Extreme Festival, consider that all 5 of these releases will be premiered there so you can directly get them at the F.O.A.D. booth in the Grind Market area, as usual you’ll also find an infinite choice of vinyl, CDs, tapes and t-shirts ranging from hardcore punk, grind and noisecore, metal of all sorts and everything you are dreaming of ultrafast and thrashing hard! For any enquiries and reservations you can contact us at foadrecords@gmail.com !! As usual we strongly recommend you to act fast if you want to catch the diehard colored vinyl versions of this new batch, they’re very limited and expected to go very quickly.

RAW POWER “Mine to kill” Gatefold 2xLP (F.O.A.D. 081)

Official reissue of RP’s iconic 4th album from 1989 adding as bonus LP the incredible lost&found 1st studio take (12 TRACKS!) recorded in Italy still with Helder on drums, available for the first time on vinyl! Another uppercut in the jaws showing RP at the top of the game crossovering their manic riff-oriented Hardcore with the most intense and raging Thrash assault. Together with the incredible masterpiece “Screams from the gutter” this is hands down the fastest and tightest delivery in the band’s discography of the first decade. As for all their previous releases on F.O.A.D., this has been scrupulously remastered from the 1st generation master at Toxic Basement studio, taking the original dynamics and sonic impact to the most powerful and energetic stage. As explained by the band: “RAW POWER began the recording of “Mine to kill” in Italy, at Umbi Studio, and when it came to an end there were discussions about the final product. The decision to re-record the album in England with a different producer saw Helder leave, the one most satisfied with the work they had just ended, and having already had a brief live experience with the other boys, Fabiano Bianco (Bloody Riot / Raff) replaced him on drums. The fourth album came out and the previous version was trashed. The bonus LP added to this version was what would have been “Mine to kill” at the beginning, feeling like the first real attempt to change the style and understanding even more how the personalities within Raw Power differed between them, something that has always characterized the band from any other reality”. Of those 12 tracks, 4 are completely unreleased as they haven’t been re-recorded on the final version of the album, and they simply kill! Raw, aggressive and dizzyingly precise Hardcore from Italy’s most iconic band of the unforgettable “furious years“! Comes in a thick gatefold sleeve with insert including rare photos and flyers of that time. Watch the trailer HERE

RATOS DE PORÃO “Necropolítica” Gatefold LP (F.O.A.D. 275)

The return of Brazil’s undisputed Thrash-Punk masters! 8 years after the acclaimed “Seculo sinistro“, RxDxPx are back with another slab of relentless, intense and socially engaged Crossover Thrash in their unmistakeable style, this time with a stronger-than-ever political message reflecting their absolute contempt against the authoritarian government that has plagued Brazil in recent years. Musically, with a career spanning through 5 decades, RATOS DE PORAO show no sign of weakening and reconfirm themselves as the absolute champions of South American Hardcore! 10 songs full of Metal and Punk mayhem keeping it fresh and dynamic at the same time, led by Jao’s manic riffing and Gordo’s massive, vitriolic shouts of rage. With no doubts the world’s most famous basement rats have nailed it another time with a devastating album, still sounding exciting and relevant, which is an amazing achievement in Punk that most other bands of that age can’t claim! Housed in a full glossy gatefold jacket with 12″x12″ booklet.  Watch the trailer HERE
