AIRRAID “Staged Crime – Complete airraid 1988/1989“ LP, GENOCIDE NIPPON ”Black sanctuary“ LP, GENOCIDE NIPPON ”The ritual days 1983-1984“ LP, GENOCIDE (Chiba) ”Fire doll“ LP and GENOCIDE (Chiba) ”Mirage” LP.. preorders start NOW!
So here we are, the hectic summer season is over and we’re ready to hit the ground running with five new F.O.A.D. releases! First of all, this month is quite different from our usual fare because – with the exception of one thrashcore band (Airraid) – it’s all focused on classic heavy metal, at times doom-oriented and at times even melodic. The other peculiar thing is that we have four releases from bands called “Genocide” in the same month… In fact, when presenting the trailers, we said that this is “a month of genocides”!! The common point for this batch is the country, as usual Japan, that as you all know by now, is a territory in which we are highly specialized and where we often return to focus our releases. So, on the heavy/power/doom metal front, we have the legendary GENOCIDE NIPPON from Fukui, with the LP reissue of their classic “Black Sanctuary” and a collection of early works “The Ritual Days 1983-1984”. With the same name but from another city, we complete our genocidal mission with GENOCIDE from Chiba, for the very first time on vinyl with the LP release of their 1986 demo “Fire Doll” and a full LP of unreleased sessions called “Mirage”.
This is a gem for true connoisseurs that has garnered much appreciation and acclaim from the most diehard enthusiasts of pure Japanese metal. And to veer towards the more F.O.A.D. side, we also have a band more on the thrashing hardcore side, at times crossover (in the 80s sense of the word), AIRRAID with their “Staged crime” discography. So, to sum up, September on F.O.A.D. is a storm of scorching metal from the Land of the Rising Sun with: AIRRAID “Staged Crime – Complete airraid 1988/1989“ LP, GENOCIDE NIPPON ”Black sanctuary“ LP, GENOCIDE NIPPON ”The ritual days 1983-1984“ LP, GENOCIDE (Chiba) ”Fire doll“ LP and GENOCIDE (Chiba) ”Mirage” LP... all available for pre-order via www.scareystore.com
As usual, please note that we have also prepared a limited bundle for those who want to pre-order all 5 diehard/splatter versions at a discounted price in one go. It won’t be available for long, so act fast! There’s nothing else to add… you already know the recommendations not to sleep on the limited editions because they sell out quickly and not to bombard us with unnecessary requests during the pre-order phase, so for once we won’t repeat them. Next month we’ll be back in the realm of extremism and radical sonic nihilism, so for this September, enjoy this burst of metal in pure 80’s Japanese tradition!
