Another month at a heart-stopping pace is in the books! It’s for the second time in a row that we deliver as many as 7 releases in one go… and as always here we’re perfectly timed with the scheduled release date, all pre-orders have been shipped and most of our distributors have already received (or are about to receive) their stock, so if you haven’t ordered directly from scareystore.com and you have your local dealer, you know who to ask!  As anticipated this month is all about 80’s metal, with 4 Canadian and 1 Danish band. In addition we have added by popular demand the second pressings of two Swedish Death/Grind classics previously published by F.O.A.D. and sold out in a short time. So to summarize: BATTALION “Immortal power / The sense” LP and CD, D.B.C. “The demo anthology” Gatefold 2xLP, CREMAINS “Nuclear carnage – complete recordings 1987/1988” LP+CD, OBLIVEON “Oblivion – Demo 1987 + Live bonus” LP and CD, SAVAGE DEATH “Crucified after the genocide” LP, CARNAGE “The day man lost… / Infestation of evil – The 1989 demos” LP (2nd pressing) and GENERAL SURGERY “Demos 1990” LP (2nd pressing) are all out NOW on F.O.A.D. Records!!

tracking status updated, few copies of the diehard (splatter-colored) versions remain and that’s why we decided to extend the availability of the special bundles for a little longer, don’t sleep on it because they won’t last long… And the next month we will take a breather with “only” 4 releases, which will be dedicated to the most furious American hardcore, mostly from the 80s and from bands with stellar line-ups… Stay tuned because the upcoming announcements will make your jaws drop!

It was about time to go on a month more focused on the metal vein of F.O.A.D. Records.  Those who’ve been following us since the early years know that our label has always been very balanced with a choice that over time has always been somewhere in between metal in its multiple facets and hardcore punk.  What we are about to announce is a month in 100% pure F.O.A.D. style, we are talking about 80s THRASH, sometimes with veers on hardcore, sometimes more on death metal. Once again we wanted to go overboard and there are no less than 7 releases in one round! And as always we cover countries that have a long tradition of collaboration with us: Canada, U.S.A. (New Jersey) and Denmark.  Plus from Sweden two second pressings of LPs already released recently (Carnage and General Surgery) which having sold out in an instant we bring you again by popular demand.  From Canada 3 gems of total thrash: OBLIVEON, D.B.C. and CREMAINS, from New Jersey a new pressing of SAVAGE DEATH (already released 15 years ago always on F.O.A.D., now with a new layout and an audio master freshly ripped from the reels, with an unreleased extra track). From Denmark the fantastic horde known as BATTALION, with the complete discography. To summarize and get straight to the point, this month on F.O.A.D. Records consists of…: BATTALION “Immortal power / The sense” LP and CD, D.B.C. “The demo anthology” Gatefold 2xLP, CREMAINS “Nuclear carnage – complete recordings 1987/1988” LP+CD, OBLIVEON “Oblivion – Demo 1987 + Live bonus” LP and CD, SAVAGE DEATH “Crucified after the genocide” LP, CARNAGE “The day man lost… / Infestation of evil – The 1989 demos” LP (2nd pressing) and GENERAL SURGERY “Demos 1990” LP (2nd pressing). 

They’re all available for pre-order through scareystore.com (release date planned around May 20, 2025). As always, we have prepared limited bundles for you, one for those who want to buy all the diehard versions of the 5 new thrash titles together at a discounted price and one for those who want to taste all the Canadian thrash releases on F.O.A.D. at a truly incredible price. These offers are temporary and will be removed in a short time, at our discretion. As always we end up with the usual recommendations: act fast if you want to grab the colored-splatter vinyl editions because they are very limited, don’t be impatient – once you place your order, don’t bombard us with unnecessary messages about additions or changes of items, address changes, and more. In this way you allow us to work more expeditiously and calmly, avoiding confusion.
And now to go into more detail about these 7 death threats:

After two killer months focused on hardcore punk territories, it was to be expected that we would change course, it’s in the spirit of our label to navigate through different subgenres in the immense galaxy of the most radical underground.. among obscurities, gems to be unearthed and classics to be rediscovered. This month we dive into the most annihilating and blood-thirsty sonic extremism, with 5 releases totally focused on gore-grind and the most annihilating and destructive grindcore. Of the 5 bands we bring you 3 are from Sweden, one from the US and one from Germany.  From Sweden… classics of epic proportions: REGURGITATE – of which we are going ahead to reissue the entire catalog, this time reissueing “Carnivorous erection” and “Hatefilled vengeance”.. and always staying very close to them we have GENERAL SURGERY with the LP reissue of their “Demos 1990”, made in conspiracy with Nuclear Abominations. The excess of sickness and brutality then moves to the States with HEMDALE from which we delight you with their “Can you smell the stench???” complete discography on double LP, and as icing on the cake, from Germany the undisputed bombers of ultraviolence – between grind and the most fucked up + irreverent fastcore/PV, FLÄCHENBRAND with “Grave mistake” 2xLP, collecting their complete discography and some unreleased sessions.

So, to sum it all up, this month we are pleased to deafen you with the following aberrations: REGURGITATE “Carnivorous erection” trifold LP / MC, REGURGITATE “Hatefilled vengeance” LP / MC, GENERAL SURGERY “Demos 1990” LP, HEMDALE “Can you smell the stench???” gatefold 2xLP and FLÄCHENBRAND “Grave consequences” gatefold 2xLP. They’re all up for pre-order at www.scareystore.com! As we often do, we are offering you a limited bundle with diehard versions of each vinyl release, so you can grab all 5 at once at a discounted price. We’ll make this available for a very short period, so we advise you to act fast.  And before we leave you to read the detailed descriptions, our usual two recommendations: 1) blast fast if you want to grab the splatter-colored versions of these 5 monsters because we expect them to sell out fast… “Carnivorous erection” to date has never been released on vinyl but only on CD and picture disc 2) please do your best not to suffocate us with unnecessary requests such as item changes or additions, address changes, anxiety about getting tracking links: as always we will do everything to respect the out now date (around March 20) and pack and ship everything in record time. Thank you for your support and patience!
