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 »

EXCRUCIATION “Last judgement / First assault” Double gatefold LP Pre-Orders OPEN NOW!!

Posted in Excruciation, Pre Orders, Releases on March 16th, 2012 by Giulio Foad

EXCRUCIATION “Last judgement / First assault” Double gatefold LP (FOAD 031)
– ITEMS WILL BE SHIPPED FROM MARCH 24TH –

If one has to think back of classic 80s Swiss Thrash Metal, EXCRUCIATION is hands down one of the names forming the genre’s unholy trinity… and it would be pretty easy to realize that the other 2 are HELLHAMMER and MESSIAH. FOAD Records presents another classic Double LP housed in high-glossy, laminated gatefold cover including unreleased photos and exclusive liner notes. This special edition double LP is a deadly retrospective nightmare into the band’s rawest and earliest recordings. It starts with an incredibly remastered version of the classic “Last judgement” Mini LP originally released in 1987 by the obscure kult label CHAINSAW MURDER RECORDS (which, in its short existence brought to vinyl MESSIAH and a legendary 7″ of Chile’s Death/Thrashers PENTAGRAM!), and follows up with the entire “First assault” Demo 1986. An extensive selection of rare rehearsal and live tracks from 1985 to 1987 completes a total of 25 bursts of mayhemic Thrash. Read more »

S.O.D. “Crab Society Demos” SOLD OUT

Posted in Pre Orders, Releases, S.O.D. on February 10th, 2012 by Giulio Foad

It was quite predictable that such an expected release would have sold out in a matter of days. FOAD headquarters have been literally submerged by so many purchase requests that we felt obliged to put together a new die hard edition: another 150 ultra-limited copies, this time with a slightly different content.

This edition contains the same items as the old Die hard edition, or better:

S.O.D. “Crab Society demos” Picture LP in gatefold sleeve with 2 sided poster

An extra 10″ transparent purple vinyl, containing the remastered version of a rare 1985 rehearsal with all the classic hits you want to hear, plus a pre-S.O.D. recording of a Discharge cover

– Superthick collectors’ boxset with full coloured print on both sides.

The MAIN DIFFERENCE is the 10″ color – transparent purple instead of highlighter yellow – and the sleeve: this time, it is wrapped into a baby toddler size tshirt, printed front and back, and exclusively created for this release and to fit the shape of a 10″ record!!! Read more »
