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 preorders start NOW!!
One of F.O.A.D.’s best-known strategies is that our release schedule jumps from different musical genres with a versatility that very few underground labels have. And this time, the change is totally radical: last month we delighted you with classic Japanese heavy metal, at times more doom and at times more thrash oriented, now everything is taken to the extreme with an October entirely dedicated to hyper-fast hardcore, grindcore, crust and the like. It’s difficult to put what we’re about to announce in order of priority, but probably the most eagerly awaited release is the LP reissue of the 1990 demo by Californian heavyweights MINDROT, on vinyl for the first time! A true monument of apocalyptic doom/crust in the unique style and mood of that band and that specific period. Then, still from the early 90’s, one of our favorite bands: the Aussie potheads RUPTURE! Their “Baser apes” EP on Slap A Ham Records remains one of their most iconic, deranged and schizoid outputs. Finally, here’s the expanded reissue with the remastered original mix on side A and the “Righteous apes” mix on side B, with a Negative Approach cover as a bonus. Then a big celebration at F.O.A.D.: October 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the most loved/hated and game-changing album by CRIPPLE BASTARDS, “Misantropo a senso unico”. An excellent opportunity to bring it back into our catalog with a special edition featuring a wealth of extras such as OBI strip, poster, bonus CD, and much more. And last but not least, a new revelation on the international grindcore scene, a Finnish band living in a time machine stuck in 1988 when Earache Records was churning out the first grindcore milestones and Napalm Death was playing at the Mermaid three times a week, annihilating brains with hits from “Scum” and “FETO”. We are talking about PSYKOOSI and their album “Our so called future”, a collection of their demos/live recordings for the first time on LP. 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 available for pre-order via www.scareystore.com.
As always, we have prepared a limited bundle for those who want to purchase all four diehard versions. Please note that these titles are expected to sell out fairly quick, so the offer and availability will not last long. And one last note: please do not bombard us with unnecessary requests such as changing items within an order, changing addresses, changing payment methods, or anxiously asking for tracking numbers. These things slow us down, cause stress, and prevent us from working smoothly and staying on schedule. Please be patient and, once you have placed your pre-order, give us time to prepare it, ship it, and update its shipping status.
