beware the upcoming FOAD assault! FEAR OF GOD, CRIPPLE BASTARDS and RAW POWER in the pressing plant…
If February has been silent with no releases announced, it was just because we were preparing a massive assault for the next few months. We have just received the test presses for the longly awaited reissue of FEAR OF GOD “As statues fell” 12″ that is planned to be released on March 20th 2013 (presales starting next week). This will be available in 3 different versions: white vinyl, black vinyl and limited die hard picture LP, all of them served in a thick gatefold sleeve, repro of the original on Off The Disc. Needless to mention that this has been entirely remastered under direct supervision of Erich Keller and includes 9 bonus tracks from the incredible Fribourg show 1988, yes the one with the “throat explosions”! Fear of God 12″ test presses just arrived!
The second slasher raging to kill is the CRIPPLE BASTARDS “Live to hate people II / I” digipack CD including – on popular demand – the insane 2005’s Rovereto show interrupted by a furious riot and anarchists throwing bottles on stage. This has been captured by a crystal ultra-powerful soundboard recording, and besides the fun fact of all the insults and gags between each song, you also get the best sounding CB live performance ever. This also includes as bonus the older “Live to hate people” vol.1 originally released in 1998 as a 3″CD.
And the third of this infamous triptyc is a special deluxe reissue of RAW POWER‘s first 12″ “You are the victim” adding an incredible extra feature: the completely unknown and unreleased “God’s course” Demo 1982 that we recently found in Stiv Valli’s archives, recorded even before Mauro Codeluppi joined the band, and seeing his brother Giuseppe and Silvio trading vocal duties delivering embryonic versions of their early anthems. We’re releasing this as a digipak CD with thick booklet filled with photos, flyers and rare excerpts. This is the first of a series of 4 official reissues of RP’s 80s back-catalog, in the next months we’ll also bring to light their masterpiece “Screams from the gutter”, a remixed version of “After your brain” and an extended re-edition of “Mine to kill” adding the ultra-rare Italian alternate recordings of the album (still with Helder on drums!!) a real gem longly haunted by collectors.
Is that all? No. We’re also soon sending to the pressing plant: NERORGASMO “Discografia” double gatefold LP with 5 bonus live tracks not included in the previous FOAD Cd, UNDERAGE discography LP and CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER “Life in grave + extra” gatefold LP. You can expect all this madness to come out through the spring so keep checking our site!
