Another month of atrocious F.O.A.D. sonicrimes is in the books! The radical switch we made from a September all focused on Japanese metal to an October dedicated to extremism tout court with four releases spanning fast hardcore, crust and grind was met with great success. Thanks to everyone who supported us preordering them. As always, we are perfectly on schedule, so all pre-orders have already been shipped and most of the B2Bs have been sent to our usual distributors around the globe. You know who they are, so if you usually buy from them, you can expect them to receive these titles shortly.
So to sum up: MINDROT “Demo 1990” LP, RUPTURE “Baser apers years” gatefold LP, CRIPPLE BASTARDS “Misantropo a senso unico – 25 anniversary edition” gatefold LP+CD, and PSYKOOSI “Our so called future” LP on F.O.A.D. Records are all out now. There are very few copies left of the diehard splatter vinyl versions, we will leave the bundle available for a few more days for those who want to buy them all at a discounted price, don’t sleep on it! Next month will be truly special, with again 4 releases: an ultra-iconic name in British hardcore, an incredible rarity from the furious years of Italian hardcore punk, and two great surprises from the Yugoslavian underground of the 80s. Stay tuned!
More details about this month’s apocalyptic four:
MINDROT “Demo 1990” LP (F.O.A.D. 396)
For the first time ever, Mindrot’s 1990 demo is finally available on vinyl! Thunderous, monolithic and punishing, this demo set the band apart from their California peers, estabilishing a new level of bleakness and heaviness. A perfectly balanced mix of crust and doom metal with some unexpected evocative interludes, this demo is the desperate soundtrack for a decaying world. Ten songs of utterly ferocious apocalyptic music for fans of Dystopia, Winter, Deviated Instinct, Bolt Thrower and Amebix! LP with insert including lyrics and photos/flyers from that period.

PSYKOOSI “Our so called future” LP (F.O.A.D. 299)
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND JUMP BACK TO 1988!

This is raw, old-school grindcore the way it should be, with all the right features that made the old days so unique.
This LP compiles the following works:
“What do you value?” demo 2024
“Life of stress” demo 2024
“Live stress” live session 2025
