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!

Now going into more detail on each single release:

GENITAL MASTICATOR “From originality to vulgarity” LP (F.O.A.D. 304)

Official reissue of the cult demotape self-released by the band’s own label Cadaverizer Records 30 years ago… now for the first time on vinyl.
444 SONGS, extremely radical Noisecore ferocity from the Canary Islands. One of the sperheads of the deranged Spanish Noise/Grind scene in the ’90s that spawned sonic aberrations such as Violent Headache, Psychotic Noise, Excreted Alive, Potabilizadora, Pestufator, L.D.K. and countless more.  Sourced from the band’s master to preserve all its unrelented brutality and sickness.  Complete anti-musical catastrophe in its most deadly incarnation, if you’re looking for riffs, technicality and arrangements.. FUCK OFF!!

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

Diehard marble blue vinyl limited to 100 copies

As some of you may have noticed, we’re already at our 305th release (last month’s Sonic Terrorism / Morbid Agression split LP) but F.O.A.D. 200 and F.O.A.D. 300 are missing from our catalog. It’s in our tradition to dedicate “big” numbers to very important releases that are particularly close to our hearts.  And in most cases this kind of releases take a lot of time (years) to be completed. Anyway we finally made it, we’re at the magical day of F.O.A.D. 200! It has already been widely revealed on our FB/IG pages in the past weeks. Well yes, it’s a colossal box set by ANAL CUNT, collecting all their recordings from 1988 to 1991 spanned through 6 x LP’s. We started working on this colossus over two years ago.

It all came from the idea of our old friend Ölaf Korth (W.B.I., Flachenbrand) who put us in touch with Seth Putnam’s mom Barbara, who owns the rights to all of her son’s music (except the Earache albums). From there an incredible team-work developed with the collaboration of former AxCx members, close friends of the band and the constant supervision of Barbara. It’s a project studied and assembled with the utmost attention and care over a long period of time.. you can’t do better than this.  6 x LP’s and a 72 page book. The LP’s compile all the demos, 7″s, splits, comp. tracks, rehearsals, unplugged and live (selected best quality ones) from the first period in which the band didn’t yet give titles to songs. To be clear, the line-up with Seth, Tim, Mike and (later) Fred. For us this time-frame of AxCx is one of the absolute peaks of noisecore and extreme music in general and we are honored to do justice with such a detailed anthology. In combination with this antimusical giant we could only add two other classics of the most extremist noisecore of that era. From the Canary Islands the mighty GENITAL MASTICATOR, with their demo “From originality to vulgarity” for the first time on LP 30 years after its inception and from France, V.N.A. – already released on F.O.A.D. in 2015 – but by popular demand we decided to give it another pressing, repackaged with different colors sleeve. So to cut it short, this month is an ear-smashing sonic hecatomb and consists of: ANAL CUNT “Early shit 1988-1991” Boxset (6xLPs+book), GENITAL MASTICATOR “From originality to vulgarity” and V.N.A. “Complete deafness 1988-1989” LP. They are all available for pre-order via www.scareystore.com! Since we are expecting a huge amount of requests, we have set June 30th as release date so that we have time to carefully prepare all packages and answer all emails. If you are having difficulty ordering, especially if it’s an order with multiple copies of considerable weight, please do not hesitate to contact us at foadrecords@gmail.com for immediate assistance. As usual we suggest you to act fast if you want to get the diehard versions because it’s quite sure that they will run out quickly.

Now going into more detail on each single release:

Welcome to F.O.A.D.’s “thrash-core obscurities” month!!  As announced, this round was going to be totally focused on bands and recordings which, despite being practically invisible (in some cases not even published at the time) have great archival and qualitative value for the underground scene of the countries they come from, and deserve to be preserved and brought to light in the highest quality or let’s say… to get the “F.O.A.D. treatment”!

As anticipated, from Canada we have VISIBLE MINORITY and HAGGATH (two outfits with the same members), and the mighty DEATH OF GOD. These anthologies have been assembled thanks to the incredible support of Derek Emerson (“Eve of Darkness – Toronto Heavy Metal 1980-1989” & “Tomorrow is too late – Hardcore Punk in Toronto 1980-1989”) and Glenn Salter (D.O.G.). From Italy we have dusted off the horrendous noise squad known as SONIC TERRORISM and the ghost demotape of MORBID AGRESSION, a forgotten session from 1987 resurrected by the band in recent times. And from Japan Takashi Tanaka’s (Transgressor, Necrophile and then Anatomia) first band, GAMVETTA, very raw death/thrash with grindcore influences, all recordings from 1989. Huge thanks to all those who supported us by giving a chance to such off-the-radar gems! To sum up: DEATH OF GOD “Great Omnipotent Deceiver” LP+CD, VISIBLE MINORITY / HAGGATH Split LP+CD, GAMVETTA s/t LP+CD and SONIC TERRORISM / MORBID AGRESSION split LP are out NOW on F.O.A.D. Records.  All preorders have already been sent.  If you haven’t still secured them to your collection, don’t miss the chance – and if you’re looking for a good deal on ordering all 4 together, keep in mind that there’s a special discounted bundle available for those who bulk order all 4 in their “diehard” version, you can find it here. And finally, be aware that next month we’ll announce one of the most important F.O.A.D. releases to date, probably the most extreme and deranged boxset in the history of music, a legendary band loved and hated by many. You’ll be surprised, so stay tuned!

After awakening from the crypts pioneering Japanese Death/Thrash hordes such as MESSIAH DEATH, CRUCIFIXION and early VOIDD – it’s the turn of GAMVETTA, the evil entity that preceeded TRANSGRESSOR in 1989.  Savagely rough and awkward grinding death inferno… The first band of Takashi Tanaka (TRANSGRESSOR, NECROPHILE, ANATOMIA etc..)   This release includes all their existing recordings: two ultra rare demo/rehearsals + bonus CD with soundboard live recordings.  This stuff is so scarcerly circulated that you’ll barely find it mentioned on a footnote on Transgressor’s page on Metal Archives.

SONIC TERRORISM / MORBID AGRESSION split LP (F.O.A.D. 305)

Complete necro-underground deathcore rottenness, one of the most abominable sonic crimes ever released on F.O.A.D.! MORBID AGRESSION (1987): barbaric and lethally chaotic thrash from this unknown horde hailing from north-eastern Italy.. Their only existing demo recently resurfaced out of nowhere, circulated among only a few local maniacs. Self labelled as “black core”, their style was combining the most furious elements from the Italian thrash wave of that time with some hardcore influences… this is one of the roughest recordings in the history of Italian metal, you are warned! SONIC TERRORISM (1989): Insane grind/noise ecatomb from this short lived brain-splattering torture squad! Their “Epileptic death” 18 song demo for the first time on vinyl. Brutal anti-musical catastrophe inspired by Sore Throat, O.L.D. and early day grindcore. Purge channel out of tune bass, a slaughtered beast on vocals and caveman drums are the formula of this extremely disturbing session. Includes 4 page insert with photos, scans of the original tapes and exclusive interviews with both bands. Watch the trailer HERE

Available in the following versions:

Diehard smokey grey vinyl limited to 100 copies

Black vinyl limited to 200 copies

Welcome to one of the craziest F.O.A.D. months to date! Through the years it has always been our trademark to dig and bring back to surface very rare material, literally invisible demos and super-obscurities of the past unknown to all except to small circles of old tape trading maniacs, but this time we have really outdone ourselves, indeed – we’re running into a big challenge because we’re about to release stuff that hardly anyone in the world knows about. With the exception of DEATH OF GOD and SONIC TERRORISM (whose demos had been released and distributed back then), most of what we’re about to announce is made by bands never released even as demos of the time, or circulated in a handful of copies : in the case of MORBID AGRESSION, this recording was not even known to exist until recently the band members exhumed these incredibly sick recordings. In the case of VISIBLE MINORITY and HAGGATH, it was tapes circulated only among a small circle of friends and collectors, and sent for reviews to some contemporary fanzines. Even if they are invisible recordings and almost lost over time, we realized that the qualitative and historical value was remarkable, and here we are to bring them back to light.

To sum up, this is what you might call F.O.A.D.’s obscure necro-underground thrash month and it consists of: DEATH OF GOD “Great Omnipotent Deceiver” LP+CD, VISIBLE MINORITY / HAGGATH Split LP+CD, GAMVETTA s/t LP+CD and SONIC TERRORISM / MORBID AGRESSION split LP. 3 bands from Canada (Death Of God, Visible Minority and Haggath), 2 from Italy (Sonic Terrorism and Morbid Agression), 1 from Japan (Gamvetta). They range from the furious hardcore thrash (or rather.. “crossover”) of DEATH OF GOD and VISIBLE MINORITY, to the more old school thrash metal approach of HAGGATH, to the self labelled “black core” at times thrash at times raw metal/punk of MORBID AGRESSION, from the grind-tinged primordial death metal of GAMVETTA to the blurr/grind disaster of SONIC TERRORISM. They’re all available on preorder via scareystore.com with release date set on May 19th. These 4 titles are limited to 300 copies and the colored vinyl versions just ltd. to 100, so you know they won’t last long, if you want to grab them, don’t hesitate too much!! 

Also this time we decided to offer a special discounted bundle available for those who bulk order all 4 releases in their “diehard” version, you can find it here.

And here are the detailed descriptions of each..:

“Pezzi di vetro schizzi di sangue” (translated: pieces of glass, splatters of blood) is the definitive book on Luca Abort, singer of BLUE VOMIT, NERORGASMO, IFIX TCEN TCEN, collecting all his stunning drawings, paintings, graffiti, comics, band photos..  A maniacal collection of images, the result of a project developed over 10 years about one of the most nihilistic and emblematic characters of the Italian punk scene between the 1980s and 1990s, passed away too young following his omen “I’ll exalt myself with the most sublime death”..   A personality of great intelligence, surly and provocative, Luca has created an enormous amount of drawings, paintings, graffiti, tables, record covers, flyers and other graphic artworks. This book collects them meticulously: almost 300 full colored color pages disclosing a huge amount of never seen before material (taken from Luca’s personal archives made available to his mother’s courtesy) also including rare photos and detailed discographies of BLUE VOMIT, NERORGASMO and IFIX TCEN TCEN.

[IT]

Riedizione del vinile originariamente stampato da F.O.A.D. nel 2011 in edizione limitatissima, ai tempi esaurito all’istante. Questo LP propone la discografia dei BLUE VOMIT al massimo della qualità sonora, ovviamente nei limiti di quella che erano la registrazioni originali. Contiene i brani da “Torinoise”, ricavati direttamente da un master di chi allora lo aveva prodotto e duplicato, quelli da “Torino 198X” (paragonato alle stampe precedenti sentirete la differenza), più un emblematico pezzo inedito che per qualche ragione misteriosa é circolato solo sul alcune copie di “Torinoise” ma non ad esempio quella da cui era stata assemblata la stampa in CD del 2006. 24 brani in totale, un lato studio estratto dalle due mitiche cassette su Disforia e Ansia Tapes e uno interamente dal vivo: Vanchiglia 1982, Via Artom 1983. Una collezione definitiva e ben curata di quello che é stato uno dei gruppi più sinceri, Punk e strafottenti nella scena Torinese dei primi anni Ottanta, dai primissimi deliri giovanili di “Non mi alzo in pullman”, “La sfiga della suora”, “Il maniaco” segnati da sonorità ancora in pieno Punk ’77iano, al nichilismo autodistruttivo e allucinato a tratti Hardcore, che anticiperà la classe dei NERORGASMO, con pezzi come “Vivo in una città morta”, “Non sopporto”, “Io non sono come voi”, “Fotti il mito”. Include un inserto a 4 facciate con foto, disegni di Luca Abort, estratti da fanzine, grafiche originali, note biografiche e altro ancora. Guarda il trailer QUI

Repress of the complete discography of these nihilistic Punk heroes from Torino, northern Italy – a key place for Italian punk that has also given birth to bands like Declino, Negazione, Kollettivo, 5# Braccio, Stinky Rats and many more. Originally released by F.O.A.D. on tape over 3 decades ago, later reissued (again on F.O.A.D.) on CD and vinyl in a very limited edition instantly sold out, this collection has been out of print for more than 10 years! 23 TRACKS, compiling all their recorded material:
– tracks from “Torino 198x” and “Torinoise” (1981-1982)
– live in Vanchiglia and Via Artom, Torino 1982-1983
One of the most iconic bands out of Turin’s 80’s scene: from the early teenager delirium of “Non mi alzo in pullman”, “La sfiga della suora”, “Il maniaco” marked by their pure ’77 punk approach, to the self-destructive, hallucinatory hardcore darkness which anticipates the class of their latter incarnation NERORGASMO, with songs like “Vivo in una città morta”, “Non sopporto”, “Io non sono come voi” etc… 4 page insert with rare photos, Luca Abort’s drawings, ‘zine excerpts, lyrics, biographical notes and more!

[IT]

Riedizione di questa intramontabile pietra miliare del Punk Italiano. Confezionato in un’elegante copertina gatefold contenente librettone di 28 pagine carico di illustrazioni inedite di Luca Abort, testi, foto e note biografiche. Una delle discografie più essenziali nella storia del Punk Italiano, assemblata in anni di lavoro febbrile ed ostacoli a volte quasi insormontabili. NERORGASMO, il volto più tetro, sincero e nichilista del Punk a Torino negli anni ’80 e primi ’90, lo specchio nero della decadenza urbana in una città che ha generato le espressoni più fervide e attive del Punk/HC di tutta la penisola nel suo periodo d’oro. Raccolta completissima formata da 44 brani (a sorpresa ben 5 in più rispetto al precedente CD/DVD sempre su FOAD): il primo singolo rimasterizzato come non l’avete mai sentito – acquisito da una sorgente pre-stampa su vinile e quindi senza il minimo “scoppiettio” da materiale acquisito da vecchi dischi, l’intero album 1993 rimasterizzato dal DAT originale, 9 tracce in studio del 1987 completamente inedite fino alla prima ristampa F.O.A.D. e una selezione di materiale dal vivo dal 1986 al 1993. L’incrocio perfetto tra il Punk più cupo e quella venatura Dark Rock che ha reso il loro nome così unico e apprezzato ben oltre lo standard degli ascoltatori e completisti dell’HC Italiano di quel periodo… Guarda il trailer QUI

LONDON 77 “Iustitia” LP  (F.O.A.D. 283)

[IT]

Dai meandri della scena di Latina dei primi anni Ottanta, una vera chicca del punk più irriverente e marcio. L’introvabile demotape dei London 77 qui presente in entrambe le sue versioni (registrato da due formazioni differenti nel 1983 e 1984) più i brani dalla storica compilation tape “Loro decidono… tu paghi!!” edita nel 1984 dalla BCT Californiana.  Anche se il nome può far pensare a un gruppo punk in stile KBD fine anni Settanta, quello che troverete su questo LP é ben altro: Hardcore Punk caustico e grezzo che si inquadra alla perfezione nella rabbia e istintività della nostra scena di quel periodo, avvicinandosi più a sonorità di band come WRETCHED, BLOODY RIOT, EU’S ARSE e primi RAPPRESAGLIA.  Questa raccolta contiene 28 brani, tutti per la prima volta su vinile. Un’altra rarità assurda dagli inesauribili archivi F.O.A.D.   Include un inserto A3 con scansioni dei nastri originali, foto dell’epoca e un’interessante intervista con Nando (basso e voce) che in seguito ha poi formato i mitici SENZABENZA!

[IT]

Un’altra pietra miliare dell’Hardcore italiana riesumata in un’edizione completissima e curata nel minimo dettaglio come da tradizione F.O.A.D.  Nati a Modena nei primi anni Ottanta inizialmente ispirati dalla New Wave di quel periodo e dal Punk Inglese degli anni Settanta, gli STIGMATHE hanno gradualmente velocizzato il loro sound inserendosi con uno stile unico e personale nel panorama Hardcore di quel periodo, abbinando a rabbia e impatto soluzioni a tratti melodiche e atmosfere che fondevano melanconia e disperazione urbana…  Questo set contenente un LP e un bonus CD include:

Another Italian hardcore punk milestone getting its deserved F.O.A.D. treatment! Formed in Modena in the early ’80s with the aim of blending late ’70s punk with new waveish vibes, STIGMATHE gradually moved to hardcore punk territories in their own original way, combining the magic of the “furious years” of Italian HC with melodies and a desperate yet melancholic mood…
This LP+CD set is their most complete discography ever made consisting of:
– “Suoni puri dalla libertà” EP (1983)
– “Lo sguardo dei morti” EP (1985)
– tracks from “Raptus – Negazione e superamento” v.a. LP (1984)
..and their ultra-rare early demo (1983) for the first time on vinyl, showing the band’s early steps still with new wave contaminations and a solid Clash influence
Plus a bonus CD containing the entire “Hardcore Vivo” live demo 1983.
Includes a 16 page booklet with rare photos, flyers, biographical notes, fanzine excerpts, scans of the original releases and an extra 4 page full colored insert with never seen before photos!

Another Italian hardcore punk milestone getting its deserved F.O.A.D. treatment! Formed in Modena in the early ’80s with the aim of blending late ’70s punk with new waveish vibes, STIGMATHE gradually moved to hardcore punk territories in their own original way, combining the magic of the “furious years” of Italian HC with melodies and a desperate yet melancholic mood…
This LP+CD set is their most complete discography ever made consisting of:
– “Suoni puri dalla libertà” EP (1983)
– “Lo sguardo dei morti” EP (1985)
– tracks from “Raptus – Negazione e superamento” v.a. LP (1984)
..and their ultra-rare early demo (1983) for the first time on vinyl, showing the band’s early steps still with new wave contaminations and a solid Clash influence
Plus a bonus CD containing the entire “Hardcore Vivo” live demo 1983.
Includes a 16 page booklet with rare photos, flyers, biographical notes, fanzine excerpts, scans of the original releases and an extra 4 page full colored insert with never seen before photos!
The definitive STIGMATHE 80’s discography that does justice after years of incomplete anthologies and bad quality replicas of the two 7″s. Watch the trailer HERE
