On the last batch of F.O.A.D. releases – entirely dedicated to Japanese hardcore thrash – we left saying: “the next month will be 100% hardcore, with 4 incredible releases. We can’t say much yet but among the names there is a true giant of Italian HC that for a very long time has been kept frozen without any chance of being reissued. Stay tuned because it’s a sensational surprise!” And here we are finally revealing that giant: F.O.A.D. Records is proud to announce a teamwork with Italy’s Hardcore legends INDIGESTI to reissue their entire 80’s discography on vinyl! This will include the following 3 titles: “Sguardo realtà 1982-83” Gatefold 2xLP / “Osservati dall’inganno” Gatefold LP / “Live in Lübeck, 02.09.1987″ Gatefold LP+7”. INDIGESTI has been one of the earliest and most important bands in the first wave of Italian Hardcore through the legendary “furious years” and also one of the first to tour the States and Europe back then. These top quality reissues will feature loads of exclusive, unreleased extras and massive booklets with interviews, photos, flyers, original artworks and more!! So this month we’re starting with the first of these 3 gems: INDIGESTI “Sguardo realtà 1982-1983” 2xLP (including 1 LP full of extra unreleased sessions).  In conjunction with this we picked another Italian Hardcore masterpiece: “É arrivato Ah Pook” LP, the amazing debut demo (1986) by CONTROPOTERE, for the first time on vinyl. Then, by popular demand, we decided that in our catalog there must always be NERORGASMO‘s “Passione nera 1985-1993” 2xLP discography and so here we go with a new version, this time with a special diehard edition in black on white splatter vinyl. And last but not least, we completely change country to fly to another mecca of 80s Hardcore… New York!! We promised you more chapters in the reissue of the entire Unsound Music catalogue, and here we are with the long awaited SATAN’S CHEERLEADERS “What the hell” total discography! Unique hardcore, fast, nervous and highly original. Double LP with bonus CD compiling the entire discography, including two demos never released until now.

So to summarize: INDIGESTI “Sguardo realtà 1982-1983” gatefold 2xLP, CONTROPOTERE “É arrivato Ah Pook” gatefold LP, SATAN’S CHEERLEADERS “”What the hell – complete recordings 1982-1986” gatefold 2xLP+CD, NERORGASMO “Passione nera: discografia 1985-1993” gatefold 2xLP (4th pressing) are all available on preorder via www.scareystore.com The diehard colored/splatter versions are expected to go very quickly, so as always we strongly recommend you to act fast. Also, the release date for these 4 records is October 23rd, as usual we kindly request you to avoid to change your order once placed or stress us with unnecessary requests during the pre-order phase. Thank you!

In perfect timing with what was planned, we are proud to announce that the F.O.A.D. round of Japanese thrash-hardcore releases for September is out today! 5 incredible treasures from the past (1987-1996), ranging from well-known names like Asbestos to total niche obscurities like Unhuman Society Death and Gigatic Khmer. The common thread that binds everything together is: these are important underground recordings that would be completely lost without these restoration and reissueing works, in terms of quality and intensity these unknown thrash ragers are very interesting and deserve to be discovered and appreciated.

So to cut it short: ASBESTOS “Agonized cry” 2xLP, NIGA-ROBO “Bloody history of family” 2×7″EP, INZEST “Violence not words” LP (new edition), UNHUMAN SOCIETY DEATH “Demo 1989” LP and GIGATIC KHMER “A fetus – Demo 1989” LP are all out now on F.O.A.D. Records! We have already sent out all pre-orders and within the week we will finish the last wholesales. Beware because the diehard version of NIGA-ROBO is already sold out, and the other 4 are also going very fast. If you want to secure them to your collection, act fast! Next month is 100% hardcore, with 4 incredible releases. We can’t say much yet but among the names there is a true giant of Italian HC that for a very long time has been kept frozen without any chance of being reissued. Stay tuned because it’s a sensational surprise!

Gloomy, metallic hardcore blended with a strong crustpunk imprint.. if you enjoyed their classic debut “…the final solution” (also reissued by F.O.A.D. one year ago), “Agonized cry” picked up where they left off adding an even darker edge and adding some heavy Amebix/Antisect influences..

Formed in 1988 in the Saitama Prefecture, G.K. are only known for their split flexi disc with Hellchild (1990) and this self-released demo.

Members of G.K. also played in Shellshock, Lawshed and Cocobat.  Some early Shellshock songs were originally written by GIGATIC KHMER.

Diehard red vinyl limited to 150 copies

After an extremely intense season, between summer festivals and an avalanche of releases that have kept us positively engaged at truly unparalleled levels, we are thrilled to be back to base ready to announce a new bombardment consisting of 5 vinyl thrash-grenades .. It’s useless now say it, the Japanese Metal/Punk formula in conspiracy with F.O.A.D. Records is always a winning card, by now we have lost count of the 100+ F.O.A.D. works dedicated to the most obscure and hard-to-find bands from the remote niches of this country so close to our hearts. And what we’re about to introduce for this month is exactly the sum of it all: 5 little treasures of Japanese Hardcore/Thrash ranging from 1987 to 1996.. needless to say, a golden era! Starting from the best known name, we’re stoked to announce the first time on vinyl of “Agonized cry”, the second album (1996) of the mighty ASBESTOS, then by popular demand we offer you a new version of “Violence not words” – the discography of INZEST, ultra-hardcore at lightning speed, and moving on to the most obscure thrash yet to be discovered, three rare gems from our crypts of rare demos and unreleased recordings: NIGA-ROBO 2×7″, UNHUMAN SOCIETY DEATH with their only demo 1989 on LP and GIGATIC KHMER, another fantastic and worthwhile thrash demotape to be played endlessly.

So to summarize: ASBESTOS “Agonized cry” 2xLP, NIGA-ROBO “Bloody history of family” 2×7″EP, INZEST “Violence not words” LP (new edition), UNHUMAN SOCIETY DEATH “Demo 1989” LP and GIGATIC KHMER “A fetus – Demo 1989” LP are available for pre-order. We will start shipping from September 20th 2023. As usual our recommendations are: 1) these are very limited titles, so if you want to secure the diehard versions don’t think twice.. act fast! As many of you asked for it, we have also made available a ltd. bundle with colored versions of all 5 at a discounted price, don’t miss out… 2) we will do everything possible to start shipping on the announced release date but please don’t stress us with constant requests on when we ship, tracking, changes of address or replacements of items, this is the sort of stuff that slows us down and really gives us nightmares, be patient and we’ll do everything to satisfy you as quickly as humanly possible. And if this month is dedicated to maniacs of Japanese Hardcore Thrash – also paying homage from the F.O.A.D. team to the myth of Sakevi (RIP),  get ready because on the next one we will stay in the Hardcore field, with some classics of intergalactic weight that we can’t wait to reveal!!

TERRORIZER “Before the downfall 1987-1989” 2xLP+CD (4th pressing!) and 2xTape Box (F.O.A.D. 069)

4th reissue of this total Grindcore classic on FOAD Records, finally back in stock in a new, upgraded version (just like the 2020’s pressing) with 1 extra song (“Funeral bitch” – Master cover) that was accidentally missing in the first two 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

Here we are again, as anticipated – there were no F.O.A.D. releases in July, we took a month off to take care of all the orders related to the gigantic AxCx boxset and to tidy up our workspaces a bit. However, we had promised to return with a bloody blast, and we’re practically back with the same insanity with which we left off, because this month too is not for the weak. There’s some Noisecore again – with a manic collection of rare early works by our favorite German psychopaths W.B.I., but above all there’s an avalanche of ruthless grindcore – with 3 bands that really made the history of the genre. On the Gore/Grind side we are finally pleased to reissue all the early day recordings of the Swedish gods REGURGITATE, after almost 3 years of negotiations to get to this result. It had been a long time since a well done reissue of “Effortless regurgitation of bright red blood” had been seen and the one on PIU, in addition to having become expensive and difficult to find, was not a standalone album but a sort of incomplete compilation of assorted recordings.

Finally here you get “Effortless regurgitation…” alone as it was in its first version on Lowland in 1994. And in addition we decided to create a separate LP with the infamous “Torture sessions” which is a collection of RGTE demos and singles from 1991 to 1993.  Both available on LP and MC. In addition to these – which are the main course of the month – by popular demand we have decided to reissue TERRORIZER‘s “Before the downfall 1987-1989” both on vinyl in its fourth edition, this time with yellowish sleeve (the previous ones were orange, blue and green) and for the first time also on cassette, in a special double set. And since this month we let ourselves get carried away on the cassette side, we have also added the MC edition of another of our grindcore highlights, namely INSECT WARFARE “Entomological siege”! So to recap – this month’s FOAD bloodbath consists of: REGURGITATE “Effortless regurgitation of bright red blood” LP / MC, REGURGITATE “The torture sessions” LP / MC, W.B.I. “Storm from the baltic sea – Early massacres 1987-1991” LP+CD, TERRORIZER “Before the downfall 1987-1989” 2xLP+CD and 2xTape box, INSECT WARFARE “Entomological siege 2004-2009” 2xTape box. They are all available for pre-order via www.scareystore.com – we will also have them all premiered at Party San Open Air where we will be with a F.O.A.D. booth of unprecedented size, from 10th to 12th August. As usual we suggest you to blast fast on the preorder button if you want to grab the diehard splatter vinyl versions because they won’t last for long. NOTE: the out now date for all these has been set for August 21st. Please consider that we work like crazies every day and that in the summer some of us also attend open air festivals with the label’s stand, in the case of the recent AxCx pre-orders the amount of useless requests such as “have you shipped?”, “can I have the tracking” etc, long before the release date, has really gotten out of control. All this only generates stress and unnecessary waste of time in replying, please be patient, we do our best to process orders as quickly as possible using good shipping services, everything comes in its turn, days last only 24 hours and we spend the most of our time by working to the fullest, taking care of all this…

TERRORIZER “Before the downfall 1987-1989” 2xLP+CD (4th pressing!) and 2xTape Box (F.O.A.D. 069)

4th reissue of this total Grindcore classic on FOAD Records, finally back in stock in a new, upgraded version (just like the 2020’s pressing) with 1 extra song (“Funeral bitch” – Master cover) that was accidentally missing in the first two 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

Are you ready for the most deafening and radical string of releases ever made on F.O.A.D. Records?  After being highly anticipated and available on preorder for several weeks, we are honored to announce that the following beasts are hitting the streets now: ANAL CUNT “Early shit 1988-1991” Boxset (6xLPs+book), GENITAL MASTICATOR “From originality to vulgarity” and V.N.A.  “Complete deafness 1988-1989” LP.

Most of the orders have already been shipped, at the moment – as per tradition, we are attending the Obscene Extreme festival in the Czech Republic with a massive F.O.A.D. booth, upon our return we will immediately ship the remaining ones – including those to our main worldwide distributors.  Thanks in advance for your patience, as you can imagine there was a long queue of shipments to be sent and the packing phase of the boxset took longer than expected because it is a very particular and fragile item.  Hurry if you still want to grab the diehard version, there aren’t many left.  Given the considerable amount of work and the fact that some of us are out at the festival, there will be no other F.O.A.D. releases in July but we will be back in August with another lethal blast, stay tuned!

V.N.A. “Complete deafness 1988-1989” LP (F.O.A.D. 094)

Re-edition (with different sleeve colors) of this cult French Grind/Noisecore hammer originally released on F.O.A.D. in 2015 and sold out very quickly! Total discography of this terrifying unit hailing from France…  V.N.A. (Violent Noise Attack) was the side-project of a crew of friends from the late 80ies French scene formed by members of the Thrash band NOMED, Patrick from the highly missed label “Thrash Records” (that released Exit 13, Carbonized, Sorcery, Sentenced, Vital Remains etc)  and local HC bands/zine editors. Their debut demotape “Final execution”, the split 7″ with AGATHOCLES and the song on “1984, the fourth” Comp. LP have been always seen as some of the most intense and devastating expressions of the early short-song Grind/Noisecore era, worshipped by the most deranged noise extremists all over the world. Try to imagine a mix of SORE THROAT, NAPALM DEATH’s b-side of “Scum” and FEAR OF GOD and you get the idea of the brain-drilling mayhem these maniacs were able to deliver, with a studio production that was fairly above the average level of the period. This LP collects all their existing recordings, mastered from sources directly provided and licensed by band members.. 90 SONGS of absolute ear blasting horror!  Side A includes their demo (1988), the split 7″ with AGATHOCLES (1989) and a couple of unreleased studio tracks.  Side B has all never heard before stuff: a rehearsal, a full live set and even a sound-check!  Comes with a 4 page insert featuring liner notes, photos, original artworks and flyers. This record is entirely dedicated to VNA’s members André Lemesle and Patrick Blondeau that both passed away few years ago.. R.I.P.! Watch the trailer HERE
