Do you remember the days when some early “Mosh”-cataloged releases where making our day with the fastest, sickest, ear-splitting Thrash/Grind/HC in existence and you just couldn’t wait for the next one to come out?? Those were the times of bands like UNSEEN TERROR, INTENSE DEGREE, HERESY, CONCRETE SOX, O.L.D. and of course early NAPALM DEATH and CARCASS. For a series of lucky coincidences and also because those records represent the roots of our love for all that is fast and extreme in Punk and Metal, F.O.A.D. Records has already crossed paths with several bands that belong to that period and to that unforgettable series of releases… just think of TERRORIZER, SORE THROAT, REGURGITATION (pre-O.L.D.), and now once again it’s the turn of… Mosh 5, or better… SPAZZTIC BLURR!!

After many years of friendship and collaboration with the mighty WEHRMACHT of which we have reissued the complete discography, including demos and rarities, we are extremely proud to welcome back onboard Marko Sharko for another incredbile vinyl release! Pre-orders for SPAZZTIC BLURR “Hello Dum Dums + Bedrock Blurr Demo 1986” 2xLP Gatefold start now!! Act fast if you want to catch the “spazztic puke” die-hard edition in yellow vinyl with blue, green and orange splattering strictly limited to 100 copies!

More in detail:

The Blurr Hogs are back!!! SPAZZTIC BLURR, Portland, Oregon’s ultra-fast thrashcore project spawned in the mid 80’s by members of the legendary thrash unit Wehrmacht, has returned! Their classic debut album “Before and After,” released by Earache Records in 1987, was a surprisingly fresh, funny and original mix of extremely fast hardcore with highly technical speed metal and thrash spiced up by a relentless dose of humor. And after a long hiatus, they have recently reformed and recorded a brand new album titled “Hello Dum Dums” that is a fantastic throwback to their classic early recordings. Containing eight songs that combine hyper-speed drumming by “Burger King” Eric (yes, even faster than Wehrmacht!), the highly skilled riffing and solos of Marko “Sharko” and the equally impressive bass and vocal work of “Fang Tooth” Ryan and Chris “Bone” Merrow, this album is fast, heavy and, as one would expect from Spazztic Blurr, contains a lot of humor, jokes and is a lot of fun! This special extended vinyl edition on FOAD includes the new album plus a bonus LP with a re-mastered version of their 1986 demo tape “Bedrock Blurr“, which is an extremely hard to find cult classic! This double LP is housed in a high glossy gatefold jacket and comes with a full color 12″x12” booklet filled with lyrics, photos, flyers, interviews, illustrations and a lot more! Fans of Wehrmacht, Cryptic Slaughter and all those missing the early “Mosh” days when bands like Unseen Terror, Intense Degree, Lawnmower Deth, O.L.D., Heresy and Concrete Sox were coming out one after another will love and appreciate this release! New fans will undoubtedly love it as well! And remember… if you’re serious, you lose!

CRIPPLE BASTARDS Japan Tour 2016 starts this weekend! Italy’s sickest Hate/Grind unit terrorizing the masses since 1988 will soon embark on their 2nd tour of Japan, playing shows and festivals in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, Okayama and Yokohama with an endless parade of legendary bands such as Sabbat, Warhead, Melt Banana, Systematic Death, Forward, Coffins, Abigail etc…

To support this incredible journey FOAD Records has released an ultra limited flexi disc (only 250 copies, hand numbered) featuring 23 unreleased CB tracks recorded in summer 2016, the first recording to date featuring the band’s new drummer Raphael Saini.

Here’s a preview of the ultra-fast rageful aggression enclosed in this little slab of homicidal violence CLICK HERE!

The EP will be on sale at the 6 CB Japanese shows, if there’ll be some left after the tour, we’ll probably put them on sale through www.scareystore.com

As previously announced we are ending the summer with two timeless Italian Hardcore/Punk classics: Poviglio’s legendary HC heroes RAW POWER and Torino’s blackened Punk nihilists NERORGASMO.  Most preorders have been sent already and the last batch will be mailed before the end of the week. The ltd. mailorder editions on colored vinyl are almost finished, if you still want to get it we strongly suggest to act fast.  So, RAW POWER “You are the victim / God’s course” gatefold LP and NERORGASMO “Passione nera 1985-1993” 2xLP Gatefold + book are both OUT NOW!!

So more in detail about each release:

RAW POWER “You are the victim / God’s course” gatefold LP (F.O.A.D. 044/LP)

Official re-release on LP of the well received digipack CD edition that came out on FOAD 3 years ago. R.P.’s first legendary 12″ “You are the victim” (1983) back on vinyl in a top quality edition after many years, enriched by an incredible extra feature: the completely unknown and unreleased “God’s course” demo 1982 that we recently found in TVOR’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. “You are the victim” has been transferred from the original reels and remastered for the best sounding result ever, still maintaining the raw and energetic impact these Italian HC masters are well known for.

Highly influential Hardcore at its top, fast blistering drums, inhuman 6 string execution and rabid vocals plus the screaming mad assault of “Fuck authority“, “Raw power” and “Don’t let me see it” that gave a vital input to tons of speed/HC maniacs that came in the years to follow. The first Italian HC band that toured the USA and brought Italian Hardcore on the international maps. Deluxe gatefold sleeve filled with early day photos, flyers and rare inserts.

Available in 2 different versions:

Die-hard edition strictly limited to 100 copies in half black half ultra-clear vinyl with blood red splattering on the transparent half

Regular black vinyl limited to 400 copies

==================

NERORGASMO “Passione Nera” gatefold 2xLP + book (F.O.A.D. 046 – 2nd edition)

2nd pressing of this timeless Italian Punk masterpiece, housed in a stunning deluxe gatefold sleeve including a 12″x12″ book filled with never-seen-before drawings by Luca Abort, plus photos, liner notes and lyrics, this is easily among the most elegant and high quality packaging ever made for an Italian HC/Punk band on vinyl. One of the most essential discography releases in the whole history of Italian Punk, finally seeing the light after years of hard strains and endless stalemates. NERORGASMO, the blackest and most sincere face of Torino’s Dark/Punk nihilism in the ’80s and early ’90s, the true sound of urban decadence in the city that generated some of the most active and creative Punk/HC acts back in the “furious years” of Italian hardcore (think of NEGAZIONE, DECLINO, 5# BRACCIO, KOLLETTIVO etc). This double LP is a complete collection of their recorded material, 44 songs (5 more than the previous CD/DVD on FOAD), including their first legendary EP remastered from a 1st generation tape before it was pressed on vinyl (so you won’t hear any old vinyl crackles), the 1993 album remastered from the studio DAT, 9 completely UNRELEASED studio tracks (1987) and a great selection of live footage 1986-1993.

Musically, this was a unique brand of blackened HC/Punk the Italian way crossed with some sinister Dark/Rock influences and the incredibly expressive vocals of Luca Abort (RIP) mixing rage with his sick sarcastic moods. Check the review on GoodBadMusic: “Italy’s NERORGASMO (translates as “Black Orgasm” – wonderful!) released one of the darkest and most original sounding records of the 80s. Backwards message, weird sounds and ultra evil, CCM-like riffing, creating a sickly sweet atmosphere of lascivious cross-downturning. Just the way we love it so much! What is anarchy and subversion if there’s not some good old satanism involved.”

Available in 2 different versions:

Die-hard edition strictly limited to 100 copies in half black half purple vinyl with a bonus discography tape pro-copied on dark violet cassettes with 10 panel J-card

Regular black vinyl limited to 400 copies

Even through the hottest months of the summer there is no rest at FOAD‘s headquarters, and after July’s deafening triple assault (Asocial / Sore Throat / Gerogerigegege) we’re back with another hailstorm of pure violence! All those who are familiar with our label know that we have always dedicated tons of passion and energy on bringing back to light the most classic gems of Italian Hardcore/Punk from the ’80s. And for this month we’re again all focused on that, with 2 bands that are hands down among the most representative of that era… So, pre-orders for RAW POWER “You are the victim / God’s course” gatefold LP and NERORGASMO “Passione nera 1985-1993” gatefold 2xLP + book (re-release) are up now!! As the last month’s die-hard edition were sold out in few hours (or in minutes, in the case of Gerogerigegege) we strongly recommend you to blast fast if you want to catch the limited editions on colored vinyl (NERORGASMO has a wonderful bonus tape as well!!).
