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!

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.

Available in two different versions:

– special “feijoada diarréica” splatter vinyl strictly ltd to 100 copies

– 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

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

Finally, after an unexpected wait (delays at the pressing plant) the unstoppable F.O.A.D.‘s furnace is finally back to crank out some fast and powerful old school Hardcore/Thrash. We are proud to announce that pre-orders for LUDICHRI$T “God is everywhere (Demos 1985 + Live at CBGB 1986)” Double LP are starting now!

This release means a lot to us because it took 4 endless years of stubbornness and dead-ends to put it together, track down the best sounding masters and find enough photos, flyers etc to make it something special as we wish all our releases to be. None of the original band members had any sort of reels, master tapes or anything that could be helpful for this, so we had to go face a manic research through collectors and traders, ex zine editors and so on. To make you understand what kind of restoration work has been done… some lost artworks have been photographed from ultra washed-out tshirts of those years, printed and retraced by hand to be returned to their original shape! Thanks to perseverance and to the help of many enthusiasts that provided useful material, we finally brought to life this project started exactly on.. June 2010!! Crazy, uh? So, more in detail, here’s what this collection consists of: Complete demos 1985 transfered from the best sounding sources in existence, songs from “Exposure to conviction” compilation tape 1986, fully uncut “Off The Board Live at CGBG 1986“.. 34 songs of tight and powerful NEW YORK HARDCORE showcasing the early steps of a band that gave a massive input to the genre and pioneered the US school of Crossover combining the most skilled and talented Thrash impact with their Hardcore roots.

If you enjoyed the CRUMBSUCKERS’ “Turn back time” anthology we released a while ago, this is another treasure of solid and uncompromised NY HC!! Three-sided double LP with Side D silkscreened with an elegant gold print, gatefold cover and booklet full of rare flyers, photos, early tshirt art and zine excerpts. And, icing on the cake.. front cover art by Gee Vaucher of CRASS!

This release will be premiered on October 17-18 at the Bloodshed Fest in Eindhoven (Holland) that we’ll be attending with our massive booth. Mailorder copies will start to ship on October 20th!

Available in two different versions:

– Die-hard edition of 100 copies on splatter Aside/Bside grey & white vinyl

Surprise! Did you ever expect a powerhouse of fast angry thrashing Hardcore and Metal like FOAD Records to deliver you something doomy, atmospheric and deeply introspective? Check this out: we are proud to announce that pre-orders for PAUL CHAIN “Mirror” Double LP are open now!

Housed in a ultra-thick (the whole thing is 750 grams!) casewrapped gatefold with a silver foil mirror inside, making it one of the most deluxe FOAD releases to date, this is the official reissue of Minotauro‘s “Mirror” single/comp. trax anthology for the first time ever on a vinyl set, adding the rare B-side track off the “Needful/Yellow acid” 7″ not included on the previous CD version! A fantastic journey through the sinister and doomy landscapes of this Italian Metal/DeathRock master of evil, a curse turned into violet art, an esoteric and individual beast without anything resembling trendiness or modernization, reaching back from its late 80’s standing into the dark murkiness of the 70’s at some parts, and at others into an entirely new dimension, unexplored by man before and since.  Paul Chain has stood as a pillar in the Italian metal scene for over three decades, launching his cult career with the infamous DEATH S.S. and inspiring a lot of major artists among which Lee Dorrian of Cathedral and the whole Southern Lord Rec. team!  Everything the man has touched is gold!

This compilation shows all of Paul Chain’s sides. From experimental industrial/ambient to grooving hard/psychedelic rock. From NWoBHM to heavy traditional doom. Anyone who’s new to this guy should have a listen to this.  Includes: “Mirror” 7″, “Yellow acid / Needful” 7″, “Les temps du Grand Frère” 7″, splt 7″ with Der Tod, split 7″ with Eversor, 6 songs from different compilations (1985 to 1993) and a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Electric funeral”. 14 songs.

Will you be fast enough to jump in the massacre to get one of the gorgeous splatter vinyl copies? The die-hard version of this comes in splatter aside/bside white and black vinyl and it’s strictly limited to 100 copies, be sure it won’t last for long.

…otherwise, get it on solid black vinyl ltd. to 400

So there’s no secret to keep hidden anymore, we have been on this colossus for a really looooong time facing a lot of unexpected difficulties but now we can take a deep breathe as it’s finally in production seeing the light soon. WEHRMACHT “The complete beer soaked collection 1985/1989” boxset consisting of 5 x gatefold LPs, 2 x CDs and a thick book is FOAD team’s ultimate dream to come true!

This includes ALL the band’s existing recordings, both complete albums, all demos, obscure split tapes, unreleased out takes and soundboard live material. 104 SONGS (!) of the fastest and most deranged shark endorsed US Thrash-core, scrupulously mastered from the best sounding sources existing, provided by band members and friends. This is all what you could dream to have to complete your Wehrmacht collection in the best possible sound quality. The official release date is set for the band’s special show at the Obscene Extreme Festival in Trutnov, Czech Republic, while pre-orders will start around July 1st 2014. Keep an eye open because there’ll obviously be a limited die-hard edition with tons of extra surprises and it’s expected to sell out instantaneously!

And still talking about pre-orders, we are also thrilled to announce that RAW POWER‘s ultra-classic milestone “Screams from the gutter” is finally up for reservation in a new quality-centered gatefold LP!! We did a limited die-hard edition (only 100 copies) on half clear / half highlighter yellow vinyl with purple speckles that looks simply marvellous. “Screams from the gutter” lands back in Italy! Many of you will agree that this is the finest Italian HC offering ever made and easily one of the 10 world’s best Hardcore records of the 80s… over 40.000 copies sold and still sounding fresh and up-to-date even when compared to modern HC standards.

17 gems of intense, no-frills HC with a bombastic drummer, fantastic guitar riffs and angry vocals. It’s a difficult comparison with their other early output – “You Are The Victim” and the excellent material released by BCT – but after all “Screams From The Gutter” marks Raw Power’s peak due to its superior production. The band’s simple yet instantly memorable riffs bring to mind Black Flag, but also earlier groups like the Who, AC/DC, and of course, the Stooges. Throw in some cool harmonics, rockin’ solos, a cowbell, and a guitar player with hell-shriek vocals, a fucking huge afro and pointy shoes, and you have this flawless classic!! FOAD‘s treatment for this all time colossus includes a deluxe gatefold LP with lyrics and rare/unreleased photos + a scrupolous mastering that respects in detail the original reel’s sound leaving full breathe and dynamics to its original impact and (raw) power!
