Are you ready for the biggest and craziest FOAD‘s monster-release to date?? It’s about time to launch pre-orders for the longly awaited WEHRMACHT “Beer soaked collection 1985-1989” boxset and “Shark attack” + “Biermächt” limited picture disc LP reissues! It took months and months of hard work (and nervous breakdowns) to put this megalodon together, spinning a huge range of tapes and masters from the band’s archives, selecting the top sounding sources and putting them together with painstaking care at our beloved Toxic Basement Studio. Then photos, flyers, old fanzines and all possible artworks to reach the best looking layout for this motherfucker, thanks to the help of our graphics madman View From The Coffin. If you are looking for the definitive WEHRMACHT-on-vinyl collection then look no further, this is the end result of a team of fans/friends that put all their possible efforts to give the opportunity to other fans to get a super-complete, quality centered discography of this legendary band. So, more in detail, this is what you get:
WEHRMACHT “The complete beer soaked collection 1985-1989” BOXSET (5 x LPs, 2 x CDs, 32 page book) consisting of…

All this housed in a thick UV coated box printed inside and outside. The whole thing weighs more than 2 kilograms!!
As we previously disclosed this includes all the existing recordings (1985 to 1989) of these seminal ultra-fast Thrashcore generators, a dream to come true for every die-hard fan of these speed psychos and for all you maniacs of old school Hardcore/Thrash/Crossover from its golden age. 104 songs (!) of the fastest and most deranged shark endorsed US Thrash, all what you could dream to have to complete your Wehrmacht collection in the best possible sound quality! Together with D.R.I. and CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER the fastest and most influential Crossover/Thrashcore of the 80’s American scene, they used to blast when the word “grindcore” had yet to be coined, and their imagery of beers, sharks and drunken sturmtruppen-like freaks totally wins, so open your Lucky Lager and dive into this 104 song beer-soaked massacre!
The official release date (and party) for this is scheduled at the infamous OBSCENE EXTREME Festival in Trutnov/CZ where WEHRMACHT will do a special headlining set playing their most devastating anthems hosting on stage Scotty Peterson of Cryptic Slaughter joining them for delivering a bloody thrash-feast including some neck dissecting Cryptic Slaughter bombs! Our mailorder will start to ship this soon after, July 22nd 2014. Needless to say that the ltd die-hard edition is expected to sell out at blasting speed!!
TWO VERSIONS AVAILABLE:
Die-hard edition on splatter vinyl (note: each LP has a different colour configuration) adding 2 big backpatches (“Shark attack” and “Biermächt) in total ’80s Thrasher style + a 4″ round die-cut skull & sharks logo on heavy steel! ONLY 100 COPIES!
Regular version on black vinyl limited to 300 copies
..and if you’re just looking for the band’s 2 classic studio albums without all this bonus madness, there’s an extra option: we have also re-issued “Shark Attack” (1987) and “Biermacht” (1988) as single Picture disc LPs in deluxe gatefold covers, ltd to 400 copies. They sound equally good as those included in the boxset and come with the same gatefold jacket, complete with all lyrics and rare/unreleased photos!!
