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