IMPETIGO “Ultima sezione cadaveri – Six years of sickness” BOXSET, BLOODCUM “The clothes hanger chronicles 1986-2014” Gatefold 2xLP and SGT. ROCK “My friend lost his face Demo 1987 + rehearsals” LP+CD out NOW on F.O.A.D. Records!!

Posted in Bloodcum, impetigo, SGT. Rock on December 4th, 2024 by foadmaster2022

Have we survived the most messy month in F.O.A.D. history?  It seems so.  As we have announced several times via FB/IG, the IMPETIGO boxset arrived from the pressing plant considerably later than announced and on top of that they did not send it to us in one shipment but in countless pallets divided over several weeks. This created delays and unprecedented chaos in the handling of our mailorder. Finally today we can announce that all retail orders have been completed and shipped, so all packages are on their way.  There is still some delay related to wholesale shipments to our distributors, so if you were planning to purchase the boxset directly from your local dealer please bear with us a little longer.

So, to summarize: we are happy to announce that, with an inevitable 2-week delay from what was announced, IMPETIGO “Ultima sezione cadaveri – Six years of sickness” BOXSET, BLOODCUM “The clothes hanger chronicles 1986-2014” Gatefold 2xLP and SGT. ROCK “My friend lost his face Demo 1987 + rehearsals” LP+CD are out now on F.O.A.D. Records!  All preorders have been sent out, very few copies of the diehard editions are left here, so act fast.  Given the amount of packages we had to fight with and the complications we had with this giant boxset, we decided to postpone the next round of releases by a month, so there will be no F.O.A.D. news for the rest of December, we’ll start full throttle again from early January 2025 with an all hardcore punk month… get ready!!

Going into more detail about this month’s 3x ear slashers:

Posted in Bloodcum, impetigo, SGT. Rock on November 4th, 2024 by foadmaster2022

We’re so thrilled to announce this month, it’s something completely jaw breaking! We have just settled into our fantastic new warehouse, it’s been a very hard working time and as you have seen we skipped a month of releases in order to move in… to compensate we held 20% off discounts for 30 days (!), and we want to thank very much those who supported us by ordering and taking advantage of this offer. Now that we have a new home, we are ready to start off with a blast, with something that has never been seen before in the history of extreme metal. We can finally unveil F.O.A.D. 300… Once again we celebrate one of our “big” catalog numbers with a truly outstanding release, another dream coming true. Even though we have already reached F.O.A.D. 355, we had left number 300 free for something really out of this world. IMPETIGO “Ultima sezione cadaveri – Six years of sickness” BOXSET!! A monsterwork of titanic proportions, the densest of music and visual content we have ever produced.. consisting of 8 x LPs (3 double and 2 single LPs) + 4 x tapes + 5 x CDs + 100-page book. In conjunction with this gore colossal, it was mandatory to have another closely related release, SGT. ROCK, Stevo’s band before forming IMPETIGO. And to close things out perfectly, again to stay in the Wild Rags family, we also have John Araya’s BLOODCUM ready with their complete discography 1987-2014 spread over a devastating double LP, the result of more than 10 years of work and persistence.

So, to sum up, this month on F.O.A.D. Records consists of: IMPETIGO “Ultima sezione cadaveri – Six years of sickness” BOXSET, BLOODCUM “The clothes hanger chronicles 1986-2014” Gatefold 2xLP and SGT. ROCK “My friend lost his face Demo 1987 + rehearsals” LP+CD! Pre-orders are available now via www.scareystore.com
Due to the huge amount of orders that there will be this month for IMPETIGO and the fact that the pressing plant will be shipping the boxset stock to us in stages over the next few weeks, we kindly ask you to be patient and tolerate any delays, as always we will do our best to ship as quickly as possible (estimated release date: Nov. 25, 2024). Needless to say, the two diehard editions of the boxset (cannibal version and zombie version) will sell out in no time, so act fast and get them instead of looking for them months later on Discogs at exorbitant prices. Last note: this weekend we will be with a massive F.O.A.D. booth at the Record Planet fair in Den Bosch in the Netherlands… if you are in the area drop by and see us at stall #128, you’ll find a mountain of sonic extremism and genetic aberrations made into thrash. STAY SICK!!

And now here’s detailed descriptions of this month’s gore-soaked crimes:

Part 2 of 2: complete discography of this rare gem of late 80’s Japanese hardcore thrash spread over two head-ripping LP’s (with extra CD inside) made with the utmost attention to detail and quality!!

POISON “Sons of evil” LP (F.O.A.D. 082) 2nd pressing

Pure infernal armageddon, not for the weak!! One of the most deviated, disgusting and anti-musical death metal aberrations ever conceived. BACK ON VINYL IN ITS MOST COMPLETE VERSION exactly as the cassette version that was circulating in the 80s! Originally released in 1984, “Sons of evil” is the first demo recording from the malevolent and sinister German entity known as Poison. This sounds so raw and extreme that even the band members took their time to decide whether to license a vinyl reissue or not, and the graal got unlocked only when after years of research through the most insane puritan collectors, we tracked a source whose quality was even “better” than the masters owned by the band and got it properly restored and mastered by our wizard H.O.D. at Toxic Basement studio. So one thing is sure: this LP is the matchless, best sounding version of “Sons of evil” you can dream about.  Now quoting what has been said already about this gem: as primitive and barbaric as a Stone Age gang-rape, this tape is possessed by total darkness and evil. Musically, this runs the gamut from morbidly mid-paced to intense and somewhat insane. It bears no real similarities to any of their German counterparts, such as Sodom, Destruction or Kreator. The slower parts sound very reminiscent of Hellhammer, with one very important exception: this is darker and more evil than Mr. Warrior and his cohorts ever could have hoped to be. The vocals of Virgin Slaughter are exactly what Tom should have been doing on releases such as “Satanic Rites”. Possessed and maniacal, at times, his demonic voice actually accentuates the dark mood of the music, rather than detracting from it. As for the rest of the songwriting, this is like a war on the senses. Primitive and violent in nature, the riffs saw through you while the drums pound your skull into oblivion. It is almost difficult to believe something so bestial and grotesque existed back in 1984. The sound is on the same level as the “Death By Metal” demo, from Mantas, and makes the old Venom and Bathory records seem like they were done in high-dollar facilities. “Sons of Evil” is a monstrous offering from a band that had truly tapped into something dark and aggressive.  Includes poster and an old school fanzine style booklet with rare photos, flyers and excerpts from zines/mags of that era.

Solid black vinyl limited to 200 copies

POISON “Bestial death” LP (F.O.A.D. 095) 2nd pressing

New mastering made from a band’s lost and found source exhumed years after F.O.A.D.’s 2016 reissue and sounding better than ever! Raw, extreme and BESTIAL blackened Death Metal at its most savage form. Recorded in fall 1985 and following their classic debut Demotape “Sons of evil”, this second chapter offers another journey into the realms of sonic perversion and mental obscurity. This LP offers another chapter in POISON’s uncompromised evil, keeping the original sound the most faithful and pristine as possible with that claustrophobic feeling of cavernous horror that no other band has been able to recreate at so crude dimensions. Alternating moments of ultra-fast (for the time) proto blasting mayhem with slowed down breaks of suffocating doom, “Bestial death” recalls the sickest elements of Hellhammer’s demos and of course the school of Venom, or to keep it closer to Teutonic savagery, Sodom on their “Witching Metal” demotape.  Deluxe sleeve with restored original artwork, poster and a 16 page fanzine styled booklet including old interviews, reviews, flyers and rare photos. Licensed and approved by the band!

POISON “Awakening of the dead” LP (F.O.A.D. 096) 2nd pressing

3rd installement in FOAD’s deadly mission of bringing back to light POISON’s official demotapes in the most complete and pristine shape.  After their terrifying first two abominations (“Sons of evil” – 1985 and “Bestial death” -1985) and a live tape, 1986 sees these pioneering German maniacs deliver another nightmarish assault of dark, creepy death metal.  It’s the turn of “Awakening of the dead” that even showing some kind of progress in their brutal primitivity and a 4-track production, still delivers the insane rawness and hallucinating morbidity they were feared for. On a promo sheet of the time they were describing it as follows: “POISON play a very extreme mixture of ultra-fast + ripping death metal and more classical, Black Sabbath-inspired doom stuff, without trying to follow and special trend or ripping off any famous band”.  It’s all there, think of a death chamber unleashing the most stabbing screams of terror in a chtlulhu-ish pace alternating blasts of uncontrolled fury with Hellhammer tinged breakdowns.  Once again mastered at Toxic Basement Studio from the best sounding source in existence still keeping the impact and genuinity of the original sound as it was on tape.  Deluxe sleeve with restored original artwork, poster and a 16 page fanzine styled booklet including old interviews, reviews, flyers and rare photos. Licensed and approved by the band!

VIETNAM “Bad symptom – Discography Pt.1″ LP+CD and”Full of mistake world – Discography Pt.2” LP+CD, POISON “Sons of evil” LP, “Bestial death” LP and “Awakening of the dead” LP… preorders start NOW!!

Posted in Poison, Vietnam on September 10th, 2024 by foadmaster2022

The end of summer corresponds to the beginning of a very hectic and turbulent time here, because we’ll soon be moving all of F.O.A.D. into one huge warehouse that will unite both our catalog releases and all of the scareystore mailorder stock. It will be a massive and very complex move but we will finally have everything in one final place, well organized with offices, and all our material at our fingertips without the support of outside logistics anymore, after years and years of moving. Looking forward to this phase – on which we will keep you well updated, here we are with a new row of 5x releases, to keep our thrash-fire burning as always.  A somewhat unusual combination, but due to a series of conjunctions, we decided to put together the discography of Osaka’s legendary VIETNAM (consisting of a series of extremely rare, invisible, impossible-to-find tapes) with – given the high demand – the LP reissues of the 3x POISON demotapes, already released on F.O.A.D. in 2016 and quickly sold out… here reissued in slightly different versions with the peculiarity that “Bestial death” is a new mastering derived from a source exhumed by the band that sounds better than the one that was used on the previous versions.

So the clash of titans for September consists of a hidden gem of Japanese hardcore/thrash 1986-1989 era and the complete reissue of the cavernous horror demos of Germany’s POISON, among the true founding fathers and precursors of Teutonic black/death metal: VIETNAM “Bad symptom – Discography Pt.1″ LP+CD and”Full of mistake world – Discography Pt.2” LP+CD, POISON “Sons of evil” LP, “Bestial death” LP and “Awakening of the dead” LP… preorders start NOW at www.scareystore.com !! As usual we have made available limited discounted bundles for those who want to grab the 3 x POISON in bulk or for those who want to buy all 5 diehard editions together. They will be short-lasting, so hurry!  And as our usual recommendation: try to be patient, your orders will be processed and shipped as fast as possible and we will update you with tracking, don’t overload us with anxious or confusing requests such as address changes, additions and substitutions, changes of all sorts and so on… consider that we are dealing with 5 releases in conjunction with a huge move, so we will do our best.  If all goes well and runs smoothly, by next month (or by November) you can expect an unprecedented colossal, the long awaited F.O.A.D. 300 boxset, the most enormous and articulated in the label’s history. Fingers crossed!!!

POISON “Bestial death” LP (F.O.A.D. 095) 2nd pressing

New mastering made from a band’s lost and found source exhumed years after F.O.A.D.’s 2016 reissue and sounding better than ever! Raw, extreme and BESTIAL blackened Death Metal at its most savage form. Recorded in fall 1985 and following their classic debut Demotape “Sons of evil”, this second chapter offers another journey into the realms of sonic perversion and mental obscurity. This LP offers another chapter in POISON’s uncompromised evil, keeping the original sound the most faithful and pristine as possible with that claustrophobic feeling of cavernous horror that no other band has been able to recreate at so crude dimensions. Alternating moments of ultra-fast (for the time) proto blasting mayhem with slowed down breaks of suffocating doom, “Bestial death” recalls the sickest elements of Hellhammer’s demos and of course the school of Venom, or to keep it closer to Teutonic savagery, Sodom on their “Witching Metal” demotape.  Deluxe sleeve with restored original artwork, poster and a 16 page fanzine styled booklet including old interviews, reviews, flyers and rare photos. Licensed and approved by the band!

POISON “Awakening of the dead” LP (F.O.A.D. 096) 2nd pressing

3rd installement in FOAD’s deadly mission of bringing back to light POISON’s official demotapes in the most complete and pristine shape.  After their terrifying first two abominations (“Sons of evil” – 1985 and “Bestial death” -1985) and a live tape, 1986 sees these pioneering German maniacs deliver another nightmarish assault of dark, creepy death metal.  It’s the turn of “Awakening of the dead” that even showing some kind of progress in their brutal primitivity and a 4-track production, still delivers the insane rawness and hallucinating morbidity they were feared for. On a promo sheet of the time they were describing it as follows: “POISON play a very extreme mixture of ultra-fast + ripping death metal and more classical, Black Sabbath-inspired doom stuff, without trying to follow and special trend or ripping off any famous band”.  It’s all there, think of a death chamber unleashing the most stabbing screams of terror in a chtlulhu-ish pace alternating blasts of uncontrolled fury with Hellhammer tinged breakdowns.  Once again mastered at Toxic Basement Studio from the best sounding source in existence still keeping the impact and genuinity of the original sound as it was on tape.  Deluxe sleeve with restored original artwork, poster and a 16 page fanzine styled booklet including old interviews, reviews, flyers and rare photos. Licensed and approved by the band!

SEVEN MINUTES OF NAUSEA “Cancel the rose” LP+CD (F.O.A.D. 326)

Third chapter in FOAD’s annihilating mission to re-issue all the early 7MON material enriched by an incredible amount of rare and unreleased recordings. This LP includes two classic Ep’s from the legendary years when TNT&Records from Germany and Psycomania Rec. from Scotland were putting out on 7″ some of the most classic Noisecore ever landed on this planet.. “Cancelled” EP (1991) and “Noise of the rose” EP (1991): complete rough tape sessions with a lot of never heard before outtakes added, freshly ripped from Mick’s masters. While “Cancelled” is still part of the period when the band was a duo based in Australia, “Noise of the Rose” is the first work from when Mick moved to Germany and reformed the band with a local lineup, which included Matthias of End of Silence/Ecocentric Records, among others.  Straight from the LP liner-notes: “the story behind this LP begun when Matthias Weigand delivered us a huge box of 7MON reels to transfer in the studio, to check exactly what was included in each one of them. We found out that most of them were the masters of the early Eps released by TNT &Records and then Ecocentric Records. When we started to discuss about a possible series of 7MON releases on LP to re-build the band’s discography from the early times, Mick came out with the fact that he had recently unearthed the complete sessions of each EP, that were much longer than how they were originally released on 7”.. (continues on the LP). 
Bonus CD including:
1) Cancelled (original version from DAT master)
2) Noise of the rose (original version from DAT master)
3) Cancelled unedited (uncut rough mix tape)
4) Noise of the rose unedited (uncut rough mix tape)
5) Noise of the rose (alternate mix)

THOUSANDS OF TRACKS!
Started in 1985 in Australia by Scut and Mick Hollows and mutated through different incarnations revolving around Mick’s figure, 7MON still smashes eardrums nowadays. These two legendary EPs shaped an entire genre, and countless bands have sprung from the anti-musical extremism conceived by these two maniacs. If there is a noise heaven, 7MON certainly deserve a place at the top of it!  LP with special PVC sticker and 24 page booklet with lyrics and scans of the original 7″EPs

REGURGITATION “Bathrooms rule! Complete recordings 1986/1987″” gatefold LP (F.O.A.D. 098)

New Jersey’s REGURGITATION were the first musical incarnation of James Plotkin (later in O.L.D., Khanate, etc.) and a true cult in the late 80s tape-trader scene. Those familiar with O.L.D.’s debut album, “Old Lady Drivers,” released on Earache in 1988, will probably remember that the cover had a sticker that read “Insane Mega-Speed Thrash with crazy vocals. Highly original hardcore from the former members of REGURGITATION.”  Well, this is that band and here you have their complete discography transferred from the original reels and mastered by the genius of James Plotkin himself.   13 songs of superfast Death/Thrashcore (or simply early Grind) with those distinctive and caustic vocals that later became a trademark of O.L.D. Forget the poor quality bootlegs you may have seen around, this collection is without a doubt the most comprehensive and best sounding offering. It compiles the two demos “Organic backwash” (1986) and “Bathrooms rule” (1987) + “Pesticide” from “Speed Metal Hell Vol. 3” and some great soundboard live recordings. The LP is housed in a thick gatefold sleeve that includes extensive liner notes by J. Plotkin and Jon “Metalion” and includes a fanzine-style booklet with photos, original cassette artwork, rare flyers and zine excerpts.

Posted in 7 Minutes of Nausea, Final Exit, I.R.F., Regurgitation, Releases on August 5th, 2024 by foadmaster2022

As always, the summer season is one of the most hectic for our entire team, busy on multiple fronts between various festivals and related travels, as well as the usual warehouse work related to mailorder. In spite of everything we are also keen to keep our production chain going as we have an endless multitude of projects and releases in the pipeline. So also for August we have prepared you an incendiary month, totally focused on the most annihilating sonic extremism, with a parade of complete grind/noise decimation. From Japan two releases awaited by many, the complete discography of cult old school grinders I.R.F. (Infinite Radical Freaks), which puts together all their splits, demos and compilation tracks + 24 unreleased tracks, and the brand new album by noise heroes FINAL EXIT, celebrating their 30th anniversary. Going further back in our time machine, we have the third installment of our 7 MINUTES OF NAUSEA reissue series, this time focusing on “Cancelled” 7” + “Noise of the Rose” 7”. And at last but not least, by popular demand, we thought we would make available a new pressing of the REGURGITATION discography (pre-O.L.D.) originally released on F.O.A.D. in 2016. So to summarize, the 4 threats to your auditory health for this month are: I.R.F. “Discography & unreleased songs 1995-1997” LP+CD, FINAL EXIT “Born in hell” LP, SEVEN MINUTES OF NAUSEA “Cancel the rose” LP+CD and REGURGITATION “Bathroom rules! Complete recordings 1986-1987” gatefold LP.

Pre-orders are available now through www.scareystore.com and the out now date has been set for August 19.  As we have anticipated we are very busy on the summer festival front, we’ll do our best to answer promptly to your requests and process shipments as quickly as possible, but given the constant travels and the amount of commitments we have to deal with, we ask for your patience and remind you of our usual recommendations that we repeat in every post: try to limit as much as possible requests such as address changes, last-minute additions or substitutions, anxiety about having tracking numbers, etc.. we’ll do our best to get your order to you as quickly as possible. Also remember that diehard versions usually go very fast, so don’t sleep on it because they may run out in a short time. As usual we have made available a ltd. discounted bundle with the 4 colored/splatter versions for those who want to buy them in bulk. It won’t last long, so you know what to do!
