beware the upcoming FOAD assault! FEAR OF GOD, CRIPPLE BASTARDS and RAW POWER in the pressing plant…

Posted in Cripple Bastards, Fear Of God, Raw Power on March 2nd, 2013 by foadmaster2022

If February has been silent with no releases announced, it was just because we were preparing a massive assault for the next few months. We have just received the test presses for the longly awaited reissue of FEAR OF GOD “As statues fell” 12″ that is planned to be released on March 20th 2013 (presales starting next week). This will be available in 3 different versions: white vinyl, black vinyl and limited die hard picture LP, all of them served in a thick gatefold sleeve, repro of the original on Off The Disc. Needless to mention that this has been entirely remastered under direct supervision of Erich Keller and includes 9 bonus tracks from the incredible Fribourg show 1988, yes the one with the “throat explosions”! Fear of God 12″ test presses just arrived!

The second slasher raging to kill is the CRIPPLE BASTARDS “Live to hate people II / I” digipack CD including – on popular demand – the insane 2005’s Rovereto show interrupted by a furious riot and anarchists throwing bottles on stage. This has been captured by a crystal ultra-powerful soundboard recording, and besides the fun fact of all the insults and gags between each song, you also get the best sounding CB live performance ever. This also includes as bonus the older “Live to hate people” vol.1 originally released in 1998 as a 3″CD.

And the third of this infamous triptyc is a special deluxe reissue of RAW POWER‘s first 12″ “You are the victim” adding an incredible extra feature: the completely unknown and unreleased “God’s course” Demo 1982 that we recently found in Stiv Valli’s archives, recorded even before Mauro Codeluppi joined the band, and seeing his brother Giuseppe and Silvio trading vocal duties delivering embryonic versions of their early anthems. We’re releasing this as a digipak CD with thick booklet filled with photos, flyers and rare excerpts. This is the first of a series of 4 official reissues of RP’s 80s back-catalog, in the next months we’ll also bring to light their masterpiece “Screams from the gutter”, a remixed version of “After your brain” and an extended re-edition of “Mine to kill” adding the ultra-rare Italian alternate recordings of the album (still with Helder on drums!!) a real gem longly haunted by collectors.

Is that all? No. We’re also soon sending to the pressing plant: NERORGASMO “Discografia” double gatefold LP with 5 bonus live tracks not included in the previous FOAD Cd, UNDERAGE discography LP and CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER “Life in grave + extra” gatefold LP. You can expect all this madness to come out through the spring so keep checking our site!

RAW POWER “Birth” OUT NOW – an interview with Mauro Codeluppi

Posted in Interviews, Raw Power, Releases on April 2nd, 2012 by admin

FOAD Records is proud to announce the release of RAW POWER’s “Birth”, a totally remastered version of the band’s first ever demo tape (1983) and a live from Kentucky, USA 1984 recorded during their first American legendary tour!
This album comes to celebrate RAW POWER’s 30th anniversary; we reached singer Mauro Codeluppi to conduct an exclusive interview regarding this release and the glorious past times of Italian hardcore… please read on, and place your order clicking this button

You are the only Italian hardcore band that has continued playing live and recording albums from 1980 until today. The easy question is… why?|

And the answer is another very easy one: we have been very lucky to have fans that have supported us all the time and are still doing it after so many years. You see, we have to carry on for them, as well as for my brother and for ourselves too… we would be lost without Raw Power. Read more »

RAW POWER “Birth” Gatefold LP Pre-Orders OPEN NOW!!!

Posted in Pre Orders, Raw Power, Releases on March 21st, 2012 by Giulio Foad

WE’LL START TO SHIP ON APRIL 1st 2012.

FOAD Records has prepared another great album you will not want to miss:  a collection of very early RAW POWER material, 31 songs of pure energetic Italian Hardcore fury! Side A contains an official re-issue of the band’s debut Demotape from 1983 remastered from the 1st generation sources/tapes provided by the band, now for the very first time on vinyl!!

On the B Side, you get the Live at “Jockey Club” (Newport / KY / USA, Sept. 4th 1984), 15 songs (many of which completely unreleased and appearing for the first time ever on vinyl) re-equalized and remastered from a 2 channel master found by an old RAW POWER‘s  roadie.  Highly influential Italian Hardcore at its top: fast blistering drums, inhuman 6 string execution and rabid vocals combined with the screaming mad assault of songs such as “Fuck authority”, “Raw power” and “Don’t let me see it” that gave a vital input to tons of other like minded speed/HC maniacs to come in later years. They were the first Italian HC band touring the USA, and  the one that brought Italian Hardcore on the international music map. This records testifies the energy and the compromised “raw power” they had on stage back then! Read more »
