Another death-match has been launched by the tireless FOAD forces: RATOS DE PORÃO “Feijoada acidente? Brasil” LP and BROKEN BONES “Dead and gone” LP are out now, released simultaneously. Most preorders have been shipped already, and the rest will be mailed in the next couple of days!

We are honoured to say that the die-hard splatter edition of “Feijoada acidente? Brasil” was completely sold out in its preorder phase, so from now on we only have black vinyl copies left for this LP. To anticipate yet another return to Italy of Sao Paulo’s Basement Rats for a special headlining show at our “Night Of The Speed Demons Pt. 7” Festival there is no better way than shooting out the 4th vinyl chapter in the FOAD meets Ratos legacy: after releasing “Descanse em paz“, “No money no English” and “Periferia 1982“, now it’s time for “Feijoada acidente? Brasil” appearing for the first time on vinyl in a special audiophile version sounding better than ever!! RxDxPx are hands down the undisputed kings of South American Thrashcore/Punk delivering their fast and aggressive brand of Hardcore since 1981. On this album recorded in 1995 and originally released on CD by Roadrunner Records they pay homage to the early Brazilian bands that together with them helped on shaping their country’s underground scene whose sound and attitude is so unique and original both when it comes to pure mind blowing Thrash or when it’s plain, energetic PunkRock!

So the choice of bands covered by RxDxPx on this monsterpiece ranges from the corrosive thrashing explosions of Crossover maniacs like LOBOTOMIA and PSYCHIC POSSESSOR, to the no frills Punk/Hardcore aggression of OLHO SECO, INOCENTES, FOGO CRUZADO, RESTOS DE NADA, HINO MORTAL to the 3-chord PunkRock of GAROTOS PODRES, CASCAVELLETES, PSYKOZE to even some early Ratos anthems revisited and spiced up with speed and rage, like “Nao podemos falar“, “A bomba“, “So pensa em matar“, all of them taken from the band’s very early repertory. All this madness backed by an ultra solid powerful production that simply destroys! And following the line of the latter Brazilian CD reissue of this album, we added a handful of bonus tracks that weren’t up on the original 1st pressing. Housed in a solid, matte laminated jacket with 250 gr cardboard insert!

– regular black vinyl (400 copies)

and then… another band that keeps the F.O.A.D.’s banner high and delivers another instant classic for all you punk thrashing maniacs: BROKEN BONES!! We are proud to introduce “Dead and gone“, the brand new studio release from these unstoppable UK veterans of metallic Punk/Hardcore fracturing jaws since 1983!

The current line-up consists of Bones (former and current DISCHARGE guitarist), Tezz (DISCHARGE, BATTALION OF SAINTS, UK SUBS, THE VILE), Dave (who also plays in DISCHARGE) and JJ on vocals. Basically, this is today’s DISCHARGE as JJ just took Rat’s place! Back in the d-beat stoneage, Bones had left Discharge to pursue a more metal direction, and he continues that path here with a well-focused fury. On these 4 new incendiary anthems, he throws down crusty thrash riffage over classic, mosh-friendly D-beat rhythms that barrel along with thunderous intent. As metallic as the music tends toward, JJ’s snarling, angry bark maintains the perfect crossover tension. This is some seriously devastating HC/Punk that pretty much schools every “Dis” band that’s tried to emulate the style since the originals laid down the template.

4 years after their blistering full length “Fuck you and all you stand for” BROKEN BONES prove once again that they just get better (and more lethal) with age!! “Dead and gone” will be premiered in the UK on Saturday, 29th of November at “The Pipeline” in London on a killer show where BB will perform these new tracks live for the first time, so if you’re around there those days don’t miss this unique event organized by our friends at Dry Heave Records

Available in two different versions:

– Limited white vinyl (only 100 copies) with the classic “I..O..U..” soldier skull silk-screened in black on the back

– Black vinyl (400 copies) with the classic “I..O..U..” soldier skull silk-screened in white on the back

A new, lethal double-strike is aimed and ready to bring irreparable damages… FOAD‘s pre-orders for RATOS DE PORÃO “Feijoada acidente? Brasil” LP and BROKEN BONES “Dead and gone” LP are up now!

Pre-orders are up from now, we are starting to ship these on November 15th 2014

Yes! They’re here and we’re extremely proud to say that both look and sound great. All pre-orders have been shipped already and we still have a handful of limited splatter vinyl editions, act fast! So, this month’s offering on FOAD records is two avalanches of rawness: SORE THROAT “Death to capitalist Halmshaw” double LP and RATOS DE PORAO “Periferia 1982” LP + 7″. Deep in detail, this is what they cosist of:

– SORE THROAT “Death to capitalist Halmshaw” 2xLP gatefold

Double LP, 129 song monstrosity collecting all ST‘s demos, their cult “Death to capitalist Hardcore” debut EP and an endless parade of rarities, comp. tracks and live recordings from 1987 to 1990. Old reviews used to describe Uk’s Sore Throat as “beyond almost anything you’ve ever heard… Even Extreme Noise Terror are scared of them… as palatable as cabbage boiled in fish urine”. Over 2 decades are gone but these pioneers of the most horrorific alcohol-wrecked Noisecore/Grind ever conceived on the British soil still sound as the most nihilist and unsurpassed sonic aberration one can think of, “Sore Throat are a music fan’s worst nightmare”. And to be able to offer their noise in the most pristine form, closer to its primordial authenticity all what you will experience on this horrendous double platter has been scrupolously acquired from the original reels and tapes and mastered for vinyl with the maniacal attention of the widely-acclaimed Toxic Basement studios, an absolute guarantee of passion and dedication for all what comes from the golden days of analog Hardcore/Thrash and Grind. Comes in a thick gatefold sleeve printed on raw, uncoated reverse cardboard and includes a 2-sided A2 poster with an extensive collection of rare photos, flyers, zine excerpts and reviews.

“Death to capitalist Halmshaw” was previously released as a limited edition CD by China’s Area Death Prod., this is the official re-issue on vinyl with 16 extra songs and a completely different/extended layout. Highly recommended to all enthusiasts of the early Grind/Noisecore era and the most extreme Britcore bands that have shaped and developed the genre. “Out of tune guitars with broken strings, unintelligible growls and smashed drum sticks”.

DIE-HARD SPLATTER WHITE/BLUE VINYL (ltd. to 100 copies) LAST COPIES!

REGULAR BLACK VINYL

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

– RATOS DE PORÃO “Periferia 1982″ LP + 7″

Back to the very early origins of South America’s longest running and most respected Hardcore/Punk unit of all times: RATOS DE PORÃO. Best way to portray this: deep into the older basements of the basement rats. In fact, this incredible collection goes to sift in detail through the very first demo recordings of the band, before they started to pave their way with “Crucificados pelo sistema” and before the legendary beast-frontman João Gordo took vocal duties. “Periferia 1982” is an accurate journey through their raw Punk roots, it consists of the first and only two demos (including 5 hyper-rare extra songs that weren’t included in the previous CD edition) and their complete set at “O começo do fim do mundo”, one of the earliest and most important Brazilian Punk meetings of the early 80s. And to make this release even more complete and appetizing we have added a 7″EP including their 6 songs taken from the rare legendary “SUB” compilation LP, one of the first – and hands down the best – Brazilian Punk sampler of that era. So what you get here is a sheer dose of fast, no frills Punk/Hardcore stabs rarely clocking over 1 minute, hitting the face with razor shape distortion and that fury that echoes the true voice of the most abandoned suburbs.

This LP is enriched by a wide selection of period photos, liner-notes and the bonus “Sub” 7″ is presented as a miniature of the original Estudios Vermelhos’ v/a LP! Mandatory for fans of early Brazilian HC the way of OLHO SECO, INOCENTES, FOGO CRUZADO, PSYKOZE and in general raw Punk/Hc drawing influences in Discharge and in the filthiest Scandinavian sonic terrorists. 46 SONGS IN TOTAL!
