F.O.A.D. Records and Italian hardcore punk. A lethal match that anyone who has been following us for a long time knows very well. Over the years, a large part of the most important names from the hardcore scene of the country where our label was born have been brought back to light through the kind of obsessive, painstaking work that has always been one of our trademarks. This month we return to that winning formula with a special twist: four releases spanning two very different eras – two coming straight from the legendary “Furious Years of Italian Hardcore 1981–1985”, and two from the ’90s, a decade that is often overlooked when talking about the Italian hardcore scene, but which spawned some absolute gems that deserve to be rediscovered and appreciated as they always should have been. Starting from the ’90s, we have a name that – despite having left a huge mark in Italy, especially in Milano city – still deserves a proper worldwide spotlight:SOTTOPRESSIONE. After months of feverish work, we are finally proud to offer new editions of their classic1996 S/T album, unavailable on vinyl for a very long time, and“È il momento”, compiling their EP, demo and compilation tracks. Until now this collection had only been available in its complete form on CD; this is the first time ever that it appears on vinyl. Going deeper into the past, straight into the early ’80s, we have something we have wanted to do properly for a long time:IMPACT / EU’S ARSEas asplit 12”. Originally released as a 7”, each side crammed almost ten minutes of music into a format that was never really meant to handle that kind of running time without serious sonic compromise. For this new edition we went back to the original 1/4” master reels and gave these recordings the space they always deserved: for the first time on 12” at 45 RPM, presented in full dynamic range, with the sound finally breathing at its maximum potential – raw, natural and powerful. A cornerstone of Italian hardcore heard as it should be. And last but definitely not least, a small but incredible punk treasure sitting right at the crossroads between the legacy of late-’70s punk and the fury of the first hardcore wave: Genova’sCRAPPING DOGSand their complete discography“I Will Spit On Your Grave”. Containing every surviving recording from 1981-1983, this is one of those bands whose teenage urgency, energy and originality immediately make you wonder “How the hell did I manage not to discover them until now?” Completely addictive stuff and unanimously recommended by the entire F.O.A.D. crew! So, to sum it all up:SOTTOPRESSIONE “S/T” 30th Anniversary Edition Gatefold LP, SOTTOPRESSIONE “È il momento” Gatefold LP, IMPACT / EU’S ARSE Split 12” and CRAPPING DOGS “I Will Spit On Your Grave” LPare all NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER throughwww.scareystore.com, with an estimated release date around September 15th.

As usual, there is also a limiteddiscounted bundlefor those who want to grab all four die-hard colored/marbled vinyl editions in one shot. You know how this works by now: these bundles never stay available for long and we remove them from the store at our discretion once quantities start getting low. Usually they last only a few weeks, sometimes less – so if you want one, don’t sleep on it. And now for our usual boring-but-necessary preorder warning: these are PREORDERS. We need time to receive, process, pack and ship a large amount of orders properly. Please avoid hammering us with unnecessary requests for item changes, last-minute address changes, substitutions, tracking numbers and similar stuff. Tracking will automatically be added to your order as soon as your parcel has been shipped. Every minute we spend answering messages that could have been avoided is a minute taken away from packing orders and keeping the mailorder running efficiently. So please: patience first. We pack everything as fast and carefully as humanly possible.

And now, let’s take a closer look at this month’s magnificent four…:

SOTTOPRESSIONE “S/T” (30th anniversary edition) Gatefold LP(F.O.A.D. 440)

One of the most iconic and hard-hitting Italian hardcore releases of the ’90s!! Combining the finest traits of ’80s pioneers such as RAW POWER, CRASH BOX and INDIGESTI with a distinctive identity of their own, 
SOTTOPRESSIONE deliver an explosive burst of energy from start to finish.

SOTTOPRESSIONE “É il momento” Gatefold LP(F.O.A.D. 436)

“Old school Hc out of Milan, raised on NEGATIVE APPROACH and hefty doses of New York and Boston. The first strikes of a new, fierce generation of Milanese Hardcore” Stiv “Rottame” Valli (T.V.O.R.)
A comprehensive collection tracing the band’s formative years, featuring their seminal 7″ EP, a rare advance tape originally circulated exclusively to record labels, and tracks culled from long out-of-print compilation appearances.

IMPACT / EU’S ARSE “Split”12″(F.O.A.D. 419)

The official audiophile reissue of one of the undisputed holy grails of early Italian hardcore!
Originally self-released by the bands in 1983 as a 7″ EP with a DIY xeroxed sleeve, this landmark recording captured the most furious, distorted and uncompromising spirit of the first Italian hardcore wave. Like countless DIY punk records of its era, the original EP was all about fitting as much music as possible onto a self-financed release. More than ten minutes were cut onto each side of a 7″, a bold choice that perfectly reflected the urgency of the time, while inevitably pushing the format beyond its ideal sonic limits. For this definitive reissue, the original 1/4″ analogue master reel has been meticulously transferred and restored, then mastered for a 12″ cut at 45 RPM. Freed from the constraints of the original format, these recordings finally reveal their full dynamic range. The closest you’ll ever get to hearing these recordings exactly as they exploded from the master tape in 1983! To preserve the authentic DIY spirit of the original release, the record comes housed in an old-school 6-panel fold-out sleeve faithfully recreating the artwork, packaging and atmosphere of the first pressing + additional outer jacket with die-cut stickers. An essential release for anyone devoted to the rawest and most uncompromising early 80s Italian hardcore!!

CRAPPING DOGS “I will spit on your grave” LP(F.O.A.D. 412)

Another long-lost gem of Italian hardcore punk from the legendary “Furious Years”, unearthed and brought back to light by your F.O.A.D. maniacs!!
Hailing from Genova, CRAPPING DOGS were active only between 1981 and 1983, but left behind a blazing legacy. Their sound fused the raw edge of late ’70s punk and new wave with the speed and intensity of first-wave hardcore drawing inspiration from bands such as Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, and Discharge, while forging a distinctly Italian identity alongside pioneers like Peggio Punx, Wrong Boys, Fall Out, and many more! This ultra-manic complete discography (27 TRACKS!) collects the band’s cult demotape, their tracks from the classic “Raptus: Negazione e Superamento” compilation LP, and as an incredible bonus, 4 previously unreleased early tracks sourced from a private tape that has remained unheard until now. The LP comes housed with a 24-page fanzine-style booklet, packed with extensive liner notes by two original band members, rare photos, flyers, fanzine excerpts, and a wealth of archival material.

We’ve finally reached the end of what is, for us, the toughest and most demanding season of the year: the summer stretch from June through August. Over these 3 months we managed to unleash no less than 16 releases (!!) while working our asses off at festivals and gigs all over Europe and Italy. Keeping up with this pace has been absolutely brutal: endless travelling, barely any sleep, catching up with the mountain of mailorder work waiting for us back at the warehouse, and pushing through some seriously exhausting temperatures. But we made it, and now a slightly calmer period is finally on the horizon. And we got here just in time for the OUT NOW date we had announced for our Scandinavian Death Metal batch, which has received an amazing response so far. So, cutting straight to the point:MACRODEX “Reborn Through Hate – Complete Recordings 1988-1990” Gatefold 2xLP+CD, ADVERSARY “Succumb To Death Metal” LP+CD, CEREBRUM “Vestiges Of An Evoked Past (1993-1994)” Gatefold 2xLP and ABSURDUS “The Ending Path (1993-1996)” LPare ALLOUT NOWon F.O.A.D. Records!

A large part of the preorders has already been shipped and tracking numbers have been updated, while most of our distributors have copies on the way, so if you usually get your F.O.A.D. fix through them, you already know who our partners in crime are. A word of warning: the diehard splatter editions are getting dangerously close to selling out. The bundle including all 4 releases will remain available for just a few more days and will be taken down as soon as any one of the four is gone, so don’t sleep on it for too long. What should you expect from September? We’ll be sailing into completely different waters, shifting our focus to 4 milestones of ’80s and ’90s Italian Hardcore. Stay tuned, because trailers, previews and full details will start dropping very soon.

And now, here are the complete breakdowns of this month’s 4 eardrum-destroying assaults:

MACRODEX “Reborn though hate – Complete recordings 1988-1990” Gatefold 2xLP+CD (F.O.A.D. 434)

Brutal Swedish death-thrash from the frozen crypts of Eskilstuna!! A meticulously exhaustive collection featuring:

– Bonus rehearsal material 
31 TRACKS with a total playing time of 100 minutes, fully restored and remastered from the original tapes! A savage assault of raw, aggressive death/thrash metal in the vein of early Sepultura or some of the other death/thrash metal acts starting to emerge in those years (fellow Swedes in Merciless are an example of that), while also drawing strong inspiration from the German thrash scene led by Kreator and Sodom. Macrodex combine ferocious songwriting with outstanding musicianship, topped off by Roger Petterson’s unmistakable snarling vocal delivery, perfectly matching the relentless aggression and intensity of the music. Includes extensive liner notes byNicola Costantini(Encyclopedia Of Svensk Döds Metall), original fanzine excerpts, flyers and tape scans. Gatefold sleeve with 12 page booklet.

ADVERSARY – “Succumb To Death Metal” LP+CD(F.O.A.D. 435)

From the golden age of the Swedish Death Metal underground, emerging from Sandviken in the early ’90s, ADVERSARY released only three demos before disappearing into obscurity. In just a short span of time, they evolved from primitive beginnings into one of the most overlooked acts of the crushing Swedish Death Metal sound. Their final demo, “Remains Of An Art Forgotten”, was recorded at the legendary Sunlight Studio and features guest screams by Matti Kärki of DISMEMBER! Now F.O.A.D. Records resurrects their complete legacy… This LP+CD set includes:

• “The Blood Of Those Who Failed” (Demo 1990)
• “Beyond Death” (Demo 1991)”

CEREBRUM – “Vestiges Of An Evoked Past (1993-1994)” Gatefold 2xLP(F.O.A.D. 413)

A forgotten chapter of Finnish Death Metal history… finally restored! Spawned in Turku in 1992, CEREBRUM remain one of the most overlooked names of Finland’s early ’90s Death Metal scene. Arriving just as many of their contemporaries were beginning to fade away or change direction, the band left behind a small yet remarkable body of work that perfectly captured the transition from uncompromising Old School Death Metal into darker, more melodic and progressive territories. Drawing inspiration from Death, Morbid Angel, Entombed, Carcass, Obituary and Xysma, while later embracing the adventurous spirit of Edge Of Sanity, Phlebotomized, Amorphis and Sentenced, Cerebrum crafted a sound that deserves to be rediscovered.
This Double LP includes:

• “Demo #1” (1993)
• “Grief” (1994)
• plus three unreleased tracks (1993).

Subtly remastered by Tuomas Virtanen from the original recordings. Housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket with LP2 Side D silk-screened, and enriched by a 20-page booklet featuring rare photos, original fanzine excerpts, tape scans and an extensive feature/interview by Olivier “Zoltar” Badin. Cover artwork and silkscreened art on side-D by acclaimed Finnish wizard Toni Hietomaa.

ABSURDUS “The ending of the path 1993-1996” LPSplit LP(F.O.A.D. 428)

Formed in 1992 in Kirkkonummi, Finland ABSURDUS forged a distinctive sound that blended haunting melodies with blackened Death Metal intensity, standing somewhere between the darkness of Belial, the melancholic atmosphere of the earliest Amorphis and Paradise Lost, and the memorable riffing of Sentenced. Long before their acclaimed debut album “No Heaven In Sight”, the band left behind three outstanding demos that perfectly captured the evolution of the Finnish scene during its most creative years. For the first time ever, F.O.A.D. Records collects the complete demo era on vinyl.
“Under The Never Setting Sun” – Demo 1993
“Flames” – Demo 1994
“Demo(n) 3” – Demo 1996

After a month that will undoubtedly go down in F.O.A.D. history as one of the busiest and most challenging we’ve ever faced – with no less than 7 releases (!!) unleashed at the same time, two open-air festivals with our on-the-road store in full action, and our warehouse turned into an infernal furnace – we’re finally ready to present our last summer assault. Of course, F.O.A.D. never really takes a break, so once August is over we’ll immediately dive into another insane round of releases in September. If July buried you under a wheelbarrow full of the filthiest gore-death-grind imaginable, August shifts the focus towards slightly less extreme territory, but with exactly the same crushing level of heaviness, brutality and sonic devastation. This month’s four releases are entirely dedicated to theScandinavian death metalgolden era, covering the years 1988-1996 with two legendary Swedish acts and two outstanding Finnish hordes. The Swedish front features two long-awaited gems for true devotees of the genre:MACRODEXwith the complete discography“Reborn Through Hate – Complete Recordings 1988-1990” Gatefold 2xLP+CDandADVERSARYwith the collection of their three outstanding demos,“Succumb To Death Metal” LP+CD. Moving over to Finland, we’ve chosen two bands that we’ve always considered highly deserving of a proper vinyl treatment, as until now they had only been reissued on CD. As lifelong analog fanatics ourselves, we simply couldn’t let that stand any longer. We’re talking aboutCEREBRUMwith“Vestiges Of An Evoked Past (1993-1994)” Gatefold 2xLPandABSURDUSwith their complete demo collection“The Ending Path (1993-1996)” LP. To sum it up:MACRODEX “Reborn Through Hate – Complete Recordings 1988-1990” Gatefold 2xLP+CD, ADVERSARY “Succumb To Death Metal” LP+CD, CEREBRUM “Vestiges Of An Evoked Past (1993-1994)” Gatefold 2xLP and ABSURDUS “The Ending Path (1993-1996)” LPare all now available for preorder viawww.scareystore.com, with an expected release date around August 17th.

As always, you can also find a limited-edition bundle that includes all 4 diehard vinyl versions, for those who want to buy them all at once at a discounted price.  The bundle will be available at our discretion, we usually remove it once pre-orders close, so don’t miss out! Please keep in mind that August is traditionally a difficult month for postal services, with slower operations and days when couriers simply don’t collect shipments. We’ll do everything we can to process and ship your orders as quickly as possible, but we’d also like to repeat our usual reminder: please avoid last-minute requests to change items, addresses, personal details or any other kind of second thoughts. The golden rule is simple: once an order is placed, it’s placed. Also bear in mind that throughout August our F.O.A.D. on-the-road store will still be busy at two festivals:Party San Open Airin Germany andFrantic Festin Italy – so our warehouse staff will occasionally be reduced. We kindly ask for your patience and please don’t bombard us with tracking requests before your order has actually shipped or with unnecessary emails asking for updates. The less time we spend answering avoidable messages, the faster and more efficiently we can prepare and ship everybody’s orders. 

Here’s the detailed presentation of the apocalyptic quartet that makes up this latest F.O.A.D. campaign:

This month we’ve officially crossed yet another line of pure sickness! Not just because of the sheer brutality of these releases, but because running F.O.A.D. Records has turned into a full-blown kamikaze mission. Seven new releases in a single month, while our warehouse has been hitting 35°C, and, just to make sure things weren’t challenging enough, our traveling booth has been on the road for two major open-air festivals. We just got back from another unforgettable edition ofObscene Extreme, and by the end of this week we’ll be setting up atLuppolo in Rock(Cremona, Italy), sharing the grounds with Venom, Overkill, Marduk, Death SS, Cripple Bastards, Rotting Christ and many more. Somewhere in the middle of this complete mayhem we’ve been doing our best to keep up with the avalanche of pre-orders and all your requests. But enough talk, we’ve still got a long way to go before we see the light at the end of the tunnel. We mentioned sickness (qt:“and the sickess began…”)… and if there’s one release schedule that truly embodies that word, it’s this one:DISGORGE “Gorelics” gatefold 2xLP, EXULCERATION “Syndrome of regurgitation” gatefold 2xLP+CD, COPROPHAGIST “The final defecation” LP and CD, SICK SINUS SYNDROME / EAT THE DECAY split LP, NOJSBOJS “Nojs-år” LP+CD, REGURGITATE “Effortless regurgitation of bright red blood” LP (2nd pressing) and “Carnivorous erection” Trifold LP (2nd pressing)…all out now on F.O.A.D. Records!

The DISGORGE “Gorelics” die hard splatter edition disappeared almost instantly, so if you’re still after the standard 180 gr black vinyl, don’t wait too long – it won’t be around forever. The splatter editions of the other releases are also disappearing fast, so don’t sleep on them if you want to secure a copy for your collection. The limited monthly bundle is now officially sold out, as one of the five exclusive die hard editions included is no longer available. As for shipping: we’re still working our way through your orders. Normally we pride ourselves on having every pre-order shipped by release day, but this month has simply been beyond anything we’ve dealt with before. Between seven releases, two festivals, warehouse work and everything else, we’re literally pushing ourselves to the limit. We expect to have every outstanding order shipped by next week. We kindly ask for your patience – and, if possible, help us keep things manageable by avoiding last-minute requests such as address changes, modifications to existing orders, or unnecessary concerns about tracking updates. Every minute spent handling those requests is time taken away from packing your records. Rest assured we’re doing everything humanly possible to get your orders out the door as fast as we can.
A quick look at what’s coming in August? Four more releases. Two undisputed old-school Swedish death metal classics facing off against two Finnish death-black metal obscurities that are finally getting their deserved F.O.A.D. treatment. And we’ll once again be hitting the road with our massive booth at two more essential festivals: PartySan Open Air and Frantic Fest! Stay tuned, keep your eyes peeled, and follow our pages for constant updates and the upcoming trailers announcing next month’s wave of heaviness.

And now, as always, here’s the full breakdown of the madness we’ve unleashed this month…:

DISGORGE “Gorelics” gatefold 2xLP(F.O.A.D. 402)

Featuring:

The ultimate celebration of rot and sickness! Two of today’s most intense and promising grindcore acts join forces for a face-melting slab of hyper-blasting bowel butchery. Czech pathologists SICK SINUS SYNDROME (featuring Bilos of MALIGNANT TUMOUR fame alongside other veterans of the Czech rottenground scene) deliver their highly acclaimed brand of old-school goregrind, deeply rooted in the putrid glory days of CARCASS’ “Reek of Putrefaction” era. Here they unleash 13 gurgling scalpel incisions of surgical madness and hemorrhagic extremity.
Texas grinders EAT THE DECAY (featuring current and former members of P.L.F., Hypo-Christians, Cemetarian and more) complete the slaughter with a savage overdose of death-infused grindcore, recalling some of the finest late-’80s classics such as IMPETIGO, S.O.B., REPULSION and the golden age of the early Earache catalogue.
21 brand-new tracks in total! LP includes an insert with lyrics and band photos.

REGURGITATE “Effortless regurgitation of bright red blood” LP *2nd pressing* (F.O.A.D. 315)

Available again by popular demand after F.O.A.D.’s previous vinyl edition disappeared almost instantly! Widely regarded as one of the definitive GoreGrind albums of all time, “Effortless Regurgitation of Bright Red Blood” is the record that established Regurgitate among the absolute elite of the worldwide grindcore underground. Originally unleashed by Lowland Records in 1994, these 34 short bursts of decomposing brutality perfected the early Carcass formula, injecting it with the unmistakable Swedish flair for crushing death metal riffing and an overwhelming grindcore intensity.

Here we are with one of the most crucial months in F.O.A.D. history… perhaps one of the sickest we’ve ever pulled off. July is absolutely scorching over here, with temperatures pushing 40°C, but the heat is nothing compared to the infernal barrage of atrocities we’ve prepared for you. As always, the month kicks off with the legendaryObscene Extreme Festivalin Trutnov, Czech Republic, where we’re proud to unveil all these releases in exclusive advance. This batch includes no less than7 new releases, setting yet another production record for us. Seven titles in a single month is an insane workload, but by now you know how we operate… we never think twice before diving headfirst into these suicidal undertakings. Since these titles are making their debut at OEF, we decided to go all in with a month entirely devoted to the most visceral, aberrant and uncompromising gore, death, grind-noise imaginable. The lineup speaks for itself: legendary names such asDISGORGE(Mex),REGURGITATEandEXULCERATION, alongside a long-overdue anthology of Germany’s cult goregrind obscurityCOPROPHAGIST, a devastating split LP between two of today’s finest grindcore actsSICK SINUS SYNDROMEandEAT THE DECAY, and the monumental complete discography of Swedish blurr-noisecore lunaticsNOJSBOJS, painstakingly assembled over an incredibly long period of time. You’ll find all the detailed information further below, but here’s the essential part:DISGORGE “Gorelics” gatefold 2xLP, EXULCERATION “Syndrome of regurgitation” gatefold 2xLP+CD, COPROPHAGIST “The final defecation” LP and CD, SICK SINUS SYNDROME / EAT THE DECAY split LP and NOJSBOJS “Nojs-år” LP+CDare now available for pre-order throughscareystore.com .

But wait… that’s not all! In conjunction with these new releases we’ve also prepared long-awaited second pressings of two F.O.A.D. gore classics that vanished almost instantly the first time around:REGURGITATE “Effortless regurgitation of bright red blood” LPandREGURGITATE “Carnivorous erection” trifold LP. Needless to say, we’re really putting ourselves through the grinder this month!

As usual, we’ve cooked up two exclusivelimited bundles:one including the die hard editions of the five brand-new releases, and another dedicated tobothREGURGITATEdie hard editions. As always, these bundles will only be available for a short time, so don’t sleep on them! Part of the F.O.A.D. crew will remain at headquarters taking care of your pre-orders and packing every order with the attention it deserves, while the rest of us will be on the frontlines atObscene Extreme. If you’re attending the festival, make sure to stop by our massive booth, where you’ll be able to grab all these new releases before anyone else.
One last request: considering the sheer amount of work we’ve taken on this month, please double-check your pre-orders before submitting them. Whenever possible, try to avoid last-minute requests such as address changes, payment or shipping modifications, item swaps or other alterations. With the avalanche of messages we receive every day, these requests can easily get overlooked or inevitably slow down the entire process.
Thanks for your understanding and for supporting yet another completely insane F.O.A.D. month.

And now… let’s dive into this grand guignol of sonic atrocities:

Chaos U.K., Cripple Bastards, Suppression, Sore Throat, Gudon… honestly, when we started this label many years ago, we couldn’t have imagined putting together monthly line-ups like this.
