Posted in 100 Swindle, Crusty Hi Charge, No Cut, Warsaw on February 2nd, 2025 by foadmaster2022

What is the most proven winning formula in the F.O.A.D. stable?  Years go by and every now and then we always get back there, to one of our favorite countries in the world, with a boundless underground panorama and a myriad of incredible bands. Yes, we are of course talking about JAPAN.  And for once we took the trouble to count up how many Japanese releases have been released by our label so far. With the 4x we’re about to announce, we’re up to 80, in a span of just over 10 years.  Out of a catalog of about 360 titles, that is almost 20 percent!! This hints at the charge of passion and interest we have always had for the scene in this country that never ceases to give us insights and little gems to discover.  And among the many genres this month we focus on the one that is probably closest to our hearts: traditional Japanese hardcore, which in this case covers various eras – from the early 80s with NO CUT, pioneers of the genre in the Kyushu area, from the 90s style with WARSAW from Sapporo and CRUSTY HI CHARGE from Osaka, to the present day with a fantastic band from Tokyo still active today, combining veterans of the historical scene (former POISON COLA / UNKIND) with new promises of a younger generation (two members of MILITARY SHADOW) : 100 SWINDLE with their outrageous “Tokyo Burning core”!  For lovers of pure, no-frills hardcore, fueled with energy and anger, this is truly a month not to be missed!

So, to sum up – the infernal quartet for this February 2025 on F.O.A.D. Records consists of: NO CUT “Humanism / Tragic a present – Demos 1983-1984” LP, WARSAW “S.C. Dynamite go go!!” LP, CRUSTY HI CHARGE “蛇鳳龍虎 – discography 1995-1998″ LP and 100 SWINDLE “Regain our freedom” LP!!  They’re all available for preorder via www.scareystore.com or better yet, try our new tablet version https://mobile.scareystore.com/
As a release date we have set February 17, 2025 also so that we can get in time for March, in which we’ll have as many as 5 releases! As always we have created a limited bundle at a discounted price with the color-splatter versions of these 4 bangers, act fast because it will not be available for long!

Posted in Arturo, Asocial, Rough, S.A.P.U on January 7th, 2025 by foadmaster2022

Welcome to a new F.O.A.D. year that promises to be truly ear-blowing and full of sick surprises! We ended 2024 with 45 releases, not our record, there was a slight decrease from 2023, mostly because this year was undoubtedly the most challenging in the label’s history. We had to deal with a huge move that resulted in our two previous logistics merging into one warehouse. This and a number of other factors caused a series of delays and unforeseen events that slowed us down for a few months. Now we are fully settled in the new location, with a strong and more substantial team, and the prospects for the times ahead are totally positive, you’ve already seen it with the IMPETIGO boxset, which was the most colossal production in the label’s history. And our release schedule for 2025 is almost complete and it’s monstrous.. so let’s stop the pleasantries and start introducing you to what we have in the pot for this January!  It’s been a while since we’ve offered you an all hardcore month, but as you know our catalog is always unpredictable switching from different underground obscurities and genres, and this month we’re finally here: 100% HARDCORE!  Two Italian bands from two eras far apart, one among the heavyweights of Scandinavian råpunk d-beat and one revelation from the highly acclaimed new wave of Chilean tupa-tupa fuzzcore.  Who are we talking about?  From the grey smog filled motor-city of northern Italy, Turin… we have a phenomenal discography of ROUGH‘s early recordings and the first time on vinyl for ARTURO‘s debut album “Conversazioni”, from the frozen helvete of Swedish mangelcore we have ASOCIAL‘s new album, and from the seedier meanders of Chiguayante in Chile we present S.A.P.U and their raw, nihilistic punk!  So to summarize: ASOCIAL “Kolsvart framtid” gatefold LP, ROUGH “Rude 1982-1983” gatefold LP, 
ARTURO “Conversazioni” LP and S.A.P.U  “Curao, volao y con bajon” LP are all available for preorders.

The release date has been set for January 20 and, as usual, we’ll do our best to be able to start shipping by that date.  As is our custom, we have also made limited bundles available for those who wish to purchase multiple matched items at discounted price. The duration of these offers is entirely at our discretion and will likely end on the release date. And finally, our usual recommendations: don’t stress with unnecessary inquiries such as “have you shipped?”, tracking requests before the release date, changes or additions of items… in the pre-order phase of IMPETIGO we risked nervous breakdown over these things!  And act fast if you want to grab the colored-diehard versions, as you can see many of them are limited to only 100 copies, so they will go fast.

And now here the detailed descriptions of this month’s 4x ragers:

ASOCIAL “Kolsvart framtid” gatefold LP (F.O.A.D. 367)

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!!

IMPETIGO’s unique blend of horror infused death metal and gore-grind is a milestone in extreme music, and although their existence was rather short, their importance is enormous. Their ability to write perfect songs is matched only by their dedication to horror films,

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.

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!
