After starting the year at full throttle, offering you an incredible month all dedicated to Japanese Metal/Punk with 3 titles that got completely sold out in pre-order, we’re heading back to a completely different beast still digging into the sickest and most dangerous guts of an inexhaustible pit made of ancient and dark treasures from all corners of the world. Raw primordial Black/Death Metal and ultrafast Thrashcore are definitely two well-tested offensive tactics here at F.O.A.D. and this is exactly what we have prepared for you this month. A total discography double LP by Italy’s pioneering Death Metal unit ANGEL DEATH, collecting all their recordings from ’86 to ’95, an exhaustive 2xCD retrospective by the Italian Thrashcore masters SCHIZO compiling all their ’80s works from the early demos to “Main frame collapse” and then the official reissue of one of the most iconic demos from the Singaporean Black Metal inferno, XASTHUR‘s “Hidden lore” finally getting the vinyl treatment! So to sum it all up..: ANGEL DEATH “Memoirs of death: the history 1986-1995” gatefold 2xLP, XASTHUR “Hidden lore” LP and SCHIZO “Delayed Death – 1984/1989 The Years Of Collapse” 2xCD digipack are all available on preorder. This time the preorder phase will be a bit tighter because with the last batch of releases things went slower than what we expected due to the many postal changes that have been applied from January 1st, and we have finished to ship the last part just 1 week ago. Once again we strongly recommend you to act fast if you want to catch the diehard colored vinyl versions, as it often happens with our ltd. editions, they finish in few days.

More in detail about each release:

ANGEL DEATH “Memoirs of death: the history 1986-1995” Gatefold 2xLP (F.O.A.D. 208)

Hailing from Rieti, central Italy, ANGEL DEATH is one of the most feared and ancient names in the Italian Death Metal scene, formed in 1984 and active until 1995.  This total discography collection on F.O.A.D. Records is a dream-come-true for a lot of infernal maniacs that for years have hoped to see all the ominous recordings of this band collected on one release. Malicious, satanic Death/Black assault of the most aggressive form! Double LP compiling their entire discography 1985-1996 including their “Death to Christianity” Demo 1986, s/t Demo 1991, “Gore (Blood of war)” EP (1992), “Exorcisin’ the pain / Desire for immortality” EP (1992) and bonus tracks… A total overview on their bloody history starting with their raw and primitive first Demo and developing into a grinding assault of merciless brutality topped by those seriously disturbing vocals oozing a feeling of ruthlessness and pure evil.

Originally signed by Deathlike Silence Productions as part of a string of ten releases that never saw the light (also including Abruptum, Sigh, Monumentum etc.) Sourced from the band’s studio masters, housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve. Pressed on180 gram vinyl!  Watch the trailer HERE

Available in two different versions:

Diehard edition on marbled gold/red vinyl limited to 150 copies

Solid black vinyl limited to 250 copies

XASTHUR (Sgp) “Hidden lore” LP + booklet (F.O.A.D. 212)

After being 3 years in the works, here’s finally the official reissue of the only Demo by this demonic Black/Thrash horde from Singapore, originally released on tape in 1994 and revered by maniacs as a hidden gem of absolute cult… Ripped straight from the band’s master reels and pressed on 180 gram vinyl to ensure the fiercest sonic impact! Fanzine styled 16 page booklet with lots of never seen before pictures, flyers and exclusive interview. Raw, sinister Black Metal that combines the old school Singaporean sound with influences that recall the ’80s South American Death/Thrash hell! For fans (and with members!) of early IMPIETY and ABHORER.

Front cover art by Chris Moyen (originally supposed to be a t-shirt that never came out).  Watch the trailer HERE

Available in two different versions:

Diehard edition on smokey clear vinyl limited to 100 copies

Solid black vinyl limited to 200 copies

SCHIZO  “Delayed Death – 1984/1989 The Years Of Collapse” 2xCD Digipack (F.O.A.D. 206)

Ultra fucking FAST Sicilian Thrash-core assault!! The most exhaustive SCHIZO early days’ collection you can dream about. A deluxe Double CD set compiling the following:

CD 1 – “Main frame collapse” album (1989)

CD 2 –  “Before the collapse 1985-1987” Demo collection consisting of:  “MFC” Demo (1987) / “Total Schizophrenia” Demo (1986) / “Thrash the unthrashable, thrash to kill” Demo (1985) / Bonus rehearsals (1985)

31 songs of what was with no doubt one of the most deranged, fast and original Extreme Metal acts in the Italian scene of the ’80s.  If you also count in the early stuff by their brothers-in-mayhem Necrodeath, these were the first examples of hyper-speed driven thrashin’ Death Metal from Italy, that in more simple words equals “the first blast beats to ever land on the Italian Metal territories“. All these treasures mastered from the best sounding 1st generation sources provided and approved by the band.

This monsterwork portrays in the most effective way the band’s evolution from their nihilistic thrashing Hardcore roots to the sadistic nerve ripping sonic torment of their “Total schizophrenia” Demo (mentioned by Max Cavalera as one of the reasons why he choose “Schizophrenia” as title for Sepultura‘s 2nd masterpiece) to their absolute cult debut “Main Frame Collapse“. Fans of ultra fast blasting Thrash a la Wehrmacht, early Sadus, Merciless, Sarcofago… this is a must have!  Housed in a 8 panel digipack including two booklets for a total of 40 pages full of rare photos, flyers, scans of the original tapes and lyrics!  Watch the trailer HERE

We expected they would finish really quick but this may have been the F.O.A.D. preorders’ batch sold out in the shortest time to date, as always thanks to all of you for the incredible support and for enjoying our releases so much. Keep an eye open on your local distros / stores usually getting stuff from us, if you missed these on scareystore.com you might be lucky to find them through some of those who are waiting for wholesale copies from us.

The records have just been delivered to our warehouse from the pressing plant and we’re working hard on packing and shipping all your preorders.  ** PLEASE NOTE – VERY IMPORTANT ** : due to the multitude of postal changes and new customs rules that have been applied since January 1st 2021, it will take us longer than expected to get all these packages sent. We are trying to find all possible solutions to speed up shipments which are subject to delays, but we need time.  Most of the USA/Canada preorders that were supposed to go via registered Mbags were instead entrusted to UPS, and this is a good thing because you will receive them faster and with a much more traceable service from departure to delivery. The types of shipments that will be suffering delays are the following: Registered Mbags to those countries on which we can’t use UPS (mostly Asia, South America, Switzerland, Norway), 1st class air mail to certain countries, all mail to the UK. Please be patient, this will be sorted out as quickly as possible.  Even if they’re sold out, we’re anyway leaving you some details and photos of these 3 amazing Japanese Metal / Punk releases with the promise that we’ll be back soon with more hidden gems that deserve to be unearthed and revived on vinyl!

ROSENFELD “Demo 1991” LP  (F.O.A.D. 219)

Osaka Power thrashin’ inferno! Often wrongly credited as Demo 1993 this is the 1991 studio Demo by Osaka’s Speed/Thrash legends ROSENFELD, prior to their full length “Pigs of the empire”. What you get here is a piece of history in Japanese Metal, just to give you an idea of the cult status around this band, their frontman Hisayoshi sung on AION’s monolithic “Deathrash Bound” album! Also important to mention is that in 35 years of existence this is their first ever vinyl release, not even a single track of theirs has been pressed on vinyl up to now. A good reason for giving it a top quality F.O.A.D. treatment… taken from the band’s mastertape and delivered on 180 gram vinyl for the best sonic impact, you know what to expect.

Fast, powerful and extremely intense, ROSENFELD‘s style is a splendid burst of memorable riffs, hyper-tight drumming and high pitched screams that can easily compete with some ’80s international titans of the Thrash gotha. Also included: a full colored booklet with loads of rare photos and flyers! Watch the trailer HERE

Diehard edition (version 1) on swirl red/black vinyl and white silkscreen print on B-side,  limited to 150 copies. SOLD OUT
Diehard edition (version 2) on swirl pink/black vinyl and white silkscreen print on B-side,  limited to 150 copies.  SOLD OUT
Solid black vinyl with red silkscreen print on B-side, limited to 200 copies.  SOLD OUT

PLAZMA-X “White shadow 1986-1989” LP (F.O.A.D. 221)

Founded in Hiroshima in 1984, PLAZMA-X was a Speed / Heavy Metal band with a solid Punk background, their earlier incarnation known as Toxoplasma (then Plasma X to Plazma X) was included on the legendary “Hiroshima Street Punx 1” compilation tape. Former members were also involved in cult Japanese Hardcore acts such as CHICKEN BOWELS, GUDON, OUTO, HALF YEARS, RISE FROM THE DEAD and 自我… in few words, this is the roots of HP Metal/Punk!

Official discography sourced from masters provided by PLAZMA-X theselves, compiling all their existing recordings:

“Zeanon” Demotape (1986), “Night thought” Demotape (1987), ultra rare flexi disc (1988) and a bonus track!

A great blend of Punkish Heavy Metal also having as reference the Thrash Metal/VK explosion of that time. Includes a stunning 24 page full-colored booklet full of rare photos, flyers and original artworks! Pressed on 180 gram vinyl.  Watch the trailer HERE

Diehard edition on marbled pink/grey vinyl limited to 150 copies. SOLD OUT
Solid black vinyl limited to 250 copies.  SOLD OUT

MNK PROJECT “Mousouzoku” LP+CD (F.O.A.D. 191)

Founded in 1983 on the ashes of GODDESS (featured on the mythological “ADK Omnibus vol. 1” compilation) this shortly lived all-female trio embodied the unique sound of ADK-era bands combining the true core of early ’80s Japanese Punk nihilism with influences from other genres, creating a dark, nervous style all of their own. Complete discography including the impossible to find 7″ (1985, ltd. to 300 copies most of which were trashed after they disbanded, less than 100 survived and were handed to friends) plus a completely unreleased studio session from the same time ending with a melancholic, pop-infused track that is an instant classic!

Sourced from the master reels, produced by Juntaro Yamanouchi (The GEROGERIGEGEGE).  Foldout insert with lyrics and band photos/flyers. Bonus CD with the same contents of the LP, to satisfy the digital maniacs! Recommended to fans of The STALIN, NURSE, 奇形児, REAL, MASTURBATION.  Watch the trailer HERE

Diehard edition on transparent blue vinyl limited to 150 copies.  SOLD OUT
Solid black vinyl limited to 250 copies.   SOLD OUT

We closed 2020 with 30 x F.O.A.D. releases in the books and we’re already back here to start the new year with the engines at full power! At this point it goes without saying that when F.O.A.D. has a month entirely centered on Japan, the party is guaranteed… and what we’re about to announce is exactly that case, BUT if for years we have bombed you with traditional Japancore or even Grind / Noisecore from the Land of the Rising Sun, this time we’re exploring different musical sectors, yet keeping things at explosive levels of intensity. Therefore our recipe for this ride of F.O.A.D. vinyl threats consists of two Heavy/Speed Metal bands – one of them being no other than Osaka’s Power / Thrash giants ROSENFELD (for the very first time on vinyl), then PLAZMA-X, a pioneering Hiroshima based Heavy/Speed unit formed by members of well known local HC legends – to switch to something completely different: our 3rd offering is a dark, at times new-waveish ADK styled all-female Punk trio, MNK PROJECT, a very obscure combo of ex-Goddess members whose name has been kept secret for over 3 decades and came to light just in recent times thanks to the incredible support and enthusiasm of our friend Juntaro Yamanouchi of Gerogerigegege fame.

Make sure to check it out, a full LP of extremely rare studio recordings from 1985 that could have fit perfectly in that unique world of gloomy and mysterious sounds that was the ADK Records discography. So to sum it all up: ROSENFELD “Demo 1991” LP, PLAZMA-X “White shadow 1986-1989” LP and MNK PROJECT “Mousouzoku” LP+CD are our three releases for January 2021 and they’re all up for preorders via scareystore.com !! As always we strongly advise you to act fast, especially if you want to catch the diehard colored vinyl versions, that are expected to sell out in few days.

Here we are, we’ve reached the end of the year and this is our last announcement for 2020. Despite the very hard times in a year that for everyone has been a nightmare both on the working and existential factor, we’re glad to say that we’re closing this sort of blind-ride in a minefield with 26 RECORDS RELEASED in 2020, that for how things went, it’s really a miracle. As usual, we want to thank from the bottom of our hearts all those who have supported us in any way… from the bands that gave us the opportunity to release their music, to our network of friends/collectors/maniacs that always come up with valuable advices and useful sources to complete our works, and above all YOU for believing in our efforts and getting our records –  giving us the chance to go forward on this path, strong and determined. And as you’ll see, 2021 is all going to be an escalation of insanity, our schedule is already completely full and it includes countless gems that we can’t wait to announce.. so get ready!

As anticipated, we’re closing the year with a wicked triad: TERRORIZER “Before the downfall 1987-1989” 2xLP+CD (new edition), DOMINUS XUL “The Primigeni Xul” Gatefold LP and ATTOMICA “Children’s assassin” LP. They’re all out now and ready to ship.  A good part of your preorders has been sent already, the last batch will leave after Xmas. Please keep in mind that in the next few weeks the postal system may be a little congested, so be patient and give to your order the time to be delivered. The diehard decayed green vinyl version of TERRORIZER is completely sold out on preorder, act fast if you want to catch the ltd. colored ones of DOMINUS XUL and ATTOMICA because there aren’t many left.

More in detail:

TERRORIZER “Before the downfall 1987-1989” 2xLP+CD (new edition!) F.O.A.D. 069

3rd reissue of this total Grindcore classic on F.O.A.D. Records, finally back in stock in a new, upgraded version with 1 extra song (“Funeral bitch” – Master cover) that was accidentally missing in the previous editions, and exclusive A2 poster. Quoting OSCAR GARCIA: “This is the first and the only true release of Terrorizer LA demos ever captured on vinyl, not a low quality bootleg but an official release, none better than to have it all on FOAD Records. Awesome collection for any Terrorizer fan!” 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! This is the perfect storm of incredible songwriting and recording quality” (Scott Hull of Pig Destroyer / Agoraphobic Nosebleed about “World downfall“).  46 SONGS of bulldozing L.A. Grindcore with a solid Death Metal imprint, all the classics you want to hear included! Watch the trailer HERE

* Deluxe Gatefold 2xLP with different colors than the previous versions
* silkscreened print on side D
* Fixed bonus CD with 1 extra song (“Funeral bitch” – Master) accidentally not appearing on the previous versions
* 16 page booklet featuring extensive interviews, loads of never-seen-before photos, scans of old flyers, demo artworks and more!

– Solid black vinyl limited to 300 copies

DOMINUS XUL “The Primigeni Xul (I condemned my enemies)” gatefold LP F.O.A.D. 214

Official reissue of this cult Chilean Death Metal masterpiece, for the first time on vinyl!! Originally released in 1999 and only circulated through hard to find CD/tape versions, this hidden gem has quickly become a monument to apocalyptic obscurity sought after by true Death Metal enthusiasts. Few bands around have been able to recreate the ominous, sulphuric atmosphere of the most classic Incantation works… DOMINUS XUL is one of the most genuine answers to that breed of darkness and does it in a totally inspired and uncompromised way, alternating deadly blasting raids to rotting, slow paced doom-tinged breakdowns…

This version finally makes justice to this melting pot of South American malignancy, pressed on 180 gram vinyl and housed in a high glossy gatefold jacket with lyrics insert. Watch the trailer HERE

Available in two different versions:

– Diehard red/blue swirl vinyl limited to 100 copies

– Solid black vinyl limited to 200 copies

ATTOMICA “Children’s assassin” LP + booklet  F.O.A.D. 213

Atrocious cacophonic Thrash at the rawest form!! The debut demo 1986 from this devastating Brazilian unit for the first time on vinyl. If you’re expecting the ballistic, well-trained assault of their latter works this is a completely different beast: what you get here is an utterly rough, radical overdose of Thrash in its most primordial shape, a pure outburst of chaotic violence forged in the early days of the South American Death/Thrash explosion. Most of the stuff included consists in embryonic versions of songs re-arranged and re-recorded on their s/t first full length (1987), what makes the difference on “Children’s assassin” is a total DIY caveman recording and a sonic approach that leans more towards a filthy, blackened Metal territory and at times reminds of some pioneering Colombian Ultra-Metal warriors.

Full colored A4 booklet with an extensive choice of rare photos from the band’s beginning, flyers and memorabilia. Limited edition of 300 copies on 180 gram vinyl.  Watch the trailer HERE

Available in two different versions:

– Diehard “nuclear fire” red/orange swirl vinyl limited to 100 copies

– Solid black vinyl limited to 200 copies

Last round of preorders of the year! We made it, despite this horrible 2020 with a lot of obstacles in our way, we’re pleased to say that we managed to mantain an unstoppable rhythm of 2 to 4 releases per month almost without breaks, with a great variety of bands ranging from Punk, Hardcore to Grind, Noise to Metal in its multiple branches. You won’t find many labels around releasing music that ranges from The Gerogerigegege to Nasty Savage! And to end the year with a blast, check out what we have here brewing up, ready to be preordered: the ultimate upgraded reissue of a LA Grindcore milestone and two South American rippers, respectively from Chile and Brasil. We’re talking about TERRORIZER LA, with the 3rd edition of “Before the downfall 1987-1989” 2xLP+CD repackaged with different colors, extra poster and fixed bonus CD with 1 extra song (“Funeral bitch” – Master cover) accidentally not appearing on the previous versions, DOMINUS XUL from Chile with their monolithic debut album “The Primigeni Xul (I condemned my enemies)” (1999) finally getting the deserved F.O.A.D. treatment, for the first time on vinyl housed in a high glossy gatefold jacket and the infernal thrashing horde known as ATTOMICA, from Brazil, with their ultra-raw demo 1986 “Children’s assassin” for the first time on vinyl/LP.

So to sum it all up:  TERRORIZER “Before the downfall 1987-1989” 2xLP+CD (new edition), DOMINUS XUL “The Primigeni Xul” gatefold LP, ATTOMICA “Children’s assassin” LP are all up for preorders, as usual we strongly recommend you to act fast if you want to catch the limited colored vinyl versions as they always end in few days. The official release date is set for December 21st, we’ll try to ship all your preorders before Xmas, keep in mind that in the next few weeks the postal system may be a little congested, so be patient and give to your order the time to be delivered, considering these factors.

Here we are! Even through these hard times we’re delighted to arrive with perfect timing on the release date of our 3 new vinyl outrages, as announced – they had to start shipping on November 23rd and… surprise, all your preorders have been sent already! There’s not much to add to what we had already said in the previous post: our brain-melting recipe for November consist of two ’80s Belgian Thrash landmines and a classic Death/Grind milestone from the States: ATROCITY “Infected + early demos” gatefold 2xLP, TYFOON “Criminal death – discography 1987-1992” LP and X-CRETA “We will thrash you!! Demos & Live 1984-1986” LP+CD are all out now on F.O.A.D. Records! The diehard editions of Tyfoon and Atrocity have been wiped out on preorder and we are at the last 10 copies of X-Creta on swirl magenta vinyl, so move fast if you want to catch one.

ATROCITY “Infected + early demos” Gatefold 2xLP + insert (F.O.A.D. 205)

“Smashing in your fucking skull, like a ripe fruit – Brain begins to haemorrage, it’s breaking at the root“!! The grinding masterpiece “Infected” by Connecticut’s sonic butchers ATROCITY turns 30 and gets a special quality centered re-release on F.O.A.D. Records, enriched by an extra LP featuring two early Demotapes (1986-1987)! These blood-thirsty maniacs were responsible for some of nastiest Death/Grind, perfectly combining the unmatched intensity of the ’80s US Death Metal tradition with terrifying old school Grindcore fury. The first comparison that comes to mind when “Infected” starts to rip your turntable to shreds is obviously REPULSION! This double LP includes an extended version of “Infected” adding a bonus alternate version of the song “Infected” that was only included on their “Hatred birth” EP and their two demos “Toxic death” (1987) and “Ravaged by disease” (1987). 32 SONGS of gut-mangling Death/Grind brutality! Housed in a gatefold jacket displaying rare photos and original artworks, also including an insert with zine excerpts and an interesting interview focused on the band’s early years. Watch the trailer HERE

TYFOON “Criminal death” LP + booklet (F.O.A.D. 211)

Violent Death/Thrashing onslaught from the darkest alleys of the ’80s Belgian Underground…  TYFOON‘s two and only Demotapes “The end” (1987) and “The edge of violence” (1992) for the first time on vinyl, remastered from the band’s sources.   Caustic and aggressive death-tinged Thrash Metal that recalls the mid ’80s Teutonic school of titans like Kreator and Sodom!! If we were to rank our favorite Belgian demos of that era, “The end” is undoubtedly in the top five with its nonstop fast, raw and desecrating delivery. And to complete the F.O.A.D. quality-treatment this LP comes with a massive full colored booklet filled with rare photos, flyers, memorabilia and biographical notes. Watch the trailer HERE

X-CRETA “We will thrash you!! Demos & Live 1984-1986” LP+CD+insert (F.O.A.D. 207)

A killing collection of rare X-CRETA recordings (demos, rehearsals and live) prior to their smashing debut full length “Patronizing the Heterodox“. Formed in 1983, these Belgian Thrashcore gunners were responsible for some of the fiercest, stripped down, and energetic type of Crossover/Thrash, not far removed from the early releases by Voivod, but faster. At the top of their riff driven assault, some of the sickest vitriolic vocals around at the time, think of the sickest clash between Kreator‘s Mille Petrozza and Sid Migx of CCM. This F.O.A.D. anthology traces the early steps of the band starting from the primordial, pure Hardcore approach on their demo 1984 “13 recepten voor en hersenbloeding” and song from “Alle 55 kort” – both sounding quite close to their legendary country fellows Zyklome-A – and moving to the solid Speed/Thrashcore assault that followed with their demo 1985, “We will thrash you!!“. All the stuff included has been sourced from extremely rare tapes provided by our inner circle of friends-collectors and scrupulously remastered to keep the original rawness and intensity.  Bonus CD with live rehearsals, insert with photos, flyers and original tapes’ art. Watch the trailer HERE
