A lethal overdose of ultra-addictive riffs, vitriolic vocals and a dizzying rhythm session. Deluxe gatefold sleeve with 24″x12″ foldout insert collecting rare photos from that era, lyrics in both languages and Igor Cavalera’s iconic rat artwork!!

RATOS DE PORÃO “Sistemados pelo crucifa” LP (F.O.A.D. 352)
Out of print for nearly 20 years, here’s a top quality reissue of RxDxPx’s re-recorded version of their first seminal album “Crucificados pelo sistema” (1983). “Sistemados pelo crucifa” was originally recorded in 1999, mixed by Billy Anderson and released in 2001 by Alternative Tentacles and Peculio Discos. Absolutely punishing, no frills hardcore thrash from these indestructible Brazilian punk pioneers smashing eardrums since 43 years… All their early anthems revisited at neck-breaking speed + 1 exclusive bonus track!!! LP with pantone bronze laminated cover and fold-out insert with lyrics, liner notes and photos. Quoting the introduction done back in the day by Alternative Tentacles: “this new version of Crucificados Pelo Sistema captures the rare chemistry of the current members performing the band’s classic songs. This time around, the album benefits from the technical wizardry of engineer Billy Anderson (LOGICAL NONSENSE, MELVINS, NEUROSIS), who mixed their first AT release, Carniceria Tropical (1998). RDP’s Portuguese lyrics focus on day to day life in Brazil, spotlighting political and social issues. They present a positive outlook and speak of creating a better future, while tempering their optimism with a strong hint of dark humor. Sistemados Pelo Crucifa is testimony to RDP’s enduring reign as HC champions!”

CRIPPLE BASTARDS “Life’s built on thoughts (expanded)” LP (F.O.A.D. 350)
F.O.A.D. Records crosses the 350th release milestone with this deafening slab of filthy grindcore punk. More than 30 years later… official reissue of C.B.’s first full 7″ originally released in 1993 on A-Wat Records! Cripple Bastards deliver some of their most classic tunes on this debut slasher, upgrading their ability to mix their grind/noise roots with hyper-distorted ’80s punk influences. Remastered from the original 1st generation tapes and enhanced by 8 bonus out-takes from the same session.
“..the ultimate personification of unadulterated rage. 16 bursts of primitive angst. Raw, uncompromising hatred is seething from the cracks of every track. Musically, it’s homespun, basement Punk that explodes into unpredictable bursts of pure, trillion-m.p.h. Noise.” CHRIS DODGE, Flipside, 1993. LP with silk screened art on B-side and foldout insert with lyrics.

CRIPPLE BASTARDS “Frammenti di vita” LP+7″ (F.O.A.D. 012)
Back in print after more than 10 years! 14 classics of 80’s italian punk, hardcore and thrash grinded & butchered by Italy’s undisputed grindcore masters. The end result is a granitic overdose of pounding hate-fueled thrash/fastcore, ranging from out-of-control explosive fury to C.B.’s true old school hardcore roots… BULLDOZER, SCHIZO, NEGAZIONE, RAW POWER, JESTER BEAST, IMPACT, WRETCHED, NERORGASMO, DECLINO, UPSET NOISE and many more.. Reissue of the 2010 LP + a 7″ reproduction of “Frammenti di vita” ‘s first chapter (1994) remixed at Toxic Basement Studio. Front cover art by Andrei Bouzikov (Municipal Waste, Voetsek, Violator, Deadfall, Cannabis Corpse, S.O.D. etc). Special guests on the album: C.C. Muz (JESTER BEAST) playing all guitars on “Polizia una razza da estinguere”,
Pier Gonella (NECRODEATH), Ivan (SKRUIGNERS) and more!! Here’s the band’s introduction to this release: “In 1994, the German noise/grind/thrash label Ecocentric Records released a Cripple Bastards 7” entitled “Frammenti di vita” (Fragments of life), containing 6 covers of Italian hardcore punk bands from the early 1980s, grinded and butchered in our own style. For years we planned to record a definitive full length follow-up with different songs from the original EP, and this finally happened way later, in 2010. We chose a selection of classic Italian hardcore-thrash pioneers who influenced us the most in the early days and helped shape our sound, and this is also our tribute to those pioneering bands whose members have become our friends over the years. This LP also adds as a bonus the 1994 7″ retransferred from the original reels and remixed at Toxic Basement Studios, with a much better sound than the original Dracma mix made at the time…”
