REGURGITATION “Complete recordings 1986/1987” gatefold LP and MAJESTY “Bestial vomit + Demo II” LP are up for pre-orders!!
Back to the GRIND! Those who are not entirely new to FOAD Records and to the typical style of our releases know that one of our greatest specialty is to unearth some of the most legendary Demotapes of the 80’s Hardcore/Metal inferno and bring them back to light in the best possible sounding quality, adding unreleased material and a huge variety of photos, flyers, scans from zines etc… So talking of cult stuff on tape, this month we picked two killer American Grind/Death bands that were on every respectable tape-trader’s list back in the day, but never made it to an official, quality centered re-issue until now. Let’s dive back in time… 1986/1987: pre-orders for REGURGITATION (pre-O.L.D.) “Complete recordings 1986/1987” gatefold LP + booklet and MAJESTY “Bestial Vomit + Demo II” LP + poster are up now!! The official release date for both is March 25, as usual act fast if you want to reserve the limited splatter vinyl mailorder editions! More in detail about each LP:
REGURGITATION “Complete recordings 1986/1987” gatefold LP (F.O.A.D. 098)
New Jersey’s REGURGITATION was James Plotkin (later in O.L.D., Khanate etc) first musical incarnation and a total cult in the late 80s tape-traders’ scene. Those of you who were familiar to O.L.D.‘s bone-crushing debut album “Old Lady Drivers” on Earache will probably remember that the front cover had a sticker reading..: “Insane Mega-Speed Thrash with crazy vocals. Highly original Hardcore from ex-members of REGURGITATION“. Well, this is that band and here you get their complete discography transfered from the original reels and mastered by the genius of James Plotkin himself. 13 songs of blasting super-fast Death/Thrashcore (or simply early day Grind) with those distinctive and caustic vocals that later became a trademark in O.L.D. Forget the shit-quality bootlegs you might have seen around before, this collection is hands down the ultimate most exhaustive and best sounding offering.
It collects the 2 Demos “Organic backwash” (1986) and “Bathrooms rule” (1987), “Pesticide” from “Speed Metal Hell Vol. 3” and some great soundboard live recordings. It comes in a thick gatefold sleeve including extensive liner notes by J. Plotkin, Jon “Metalion“ and a fanzine-styled booklet with photos, original tape artworks, rare flyers and ‘zine excerpts. If you enjoyed FOAD’s previous works of pioneering US Grind/Thrash speed monsters (Terrorizer, Cryptic Slaughter, Wehrmacht, Lethal Aggression) you can’t miss yet another classic of that kind!

==================
MAJESTY “Bestial Vomit + Demo II” LP + poster (F.O.A.D. 099)
1987, Los Angeles Death Metal at its rawest and darkest stage! MAJESTY was one of the earliest bands to feature Oscar Garcia (Terrorizer, Nausea), Carlos “Cosmo” Reveles (Terrorizer, Nausea) and Eric Castro (Nausea), basically it was the embryonic nightmare of what later bursted into LA’s most feared Grindcore unit: NAUSEA. Their cult demotape “Bestial Vomit” was hunted as a rare treasure among collectors and tape trading maniacs. Here you finally get it mastered from a copy coming directly from the band’s archives, with the addition of another session recorded few months later and posthumously considered their Demo #2 (by now only circulated via bad quality bootlegs). And there’s more, we also added a jam session featuring Majesty and Terrorizer together playing a Napalm Death cover + 1 extra track. In short this is the first official MAJESTY discography on vinyl and by far the best sounding and most complete one.
12 songs of gloomy, menacing Death Metal with the unique vocal approach of the Grindcore master Oscar Garcia and the insanely mosh-driving riffs that later made the sound of NAUSEA and TERRORIZER so original and influential on a worldwide scale. Matte coated sleeve includes unreleased artworks, a poster featuring a rare tshirt art and a J-card repro of the original “Bestial vomit” cover, so you can make your own copy on tape too! This release is the 3rd chapter in FOAD‘s legacy with the Nausea/Terrorizer family, after releasing Nausea’s “World struggle” and Terrorizer’s “Before the downfall” demo collection…
