SORE THROAT “D.T.C.H.” 2xLP gatefold and RATOS DE PORAO “Periferia 1982″ LP + 7” out now on FOAD Records!!
Yes! They’re here and we’re extremely proud to say that both look and sound great. All pre-orders have been shipped already and we still have a handful of limited splatter vinyl editions, act fast! So, this month’s offering on FOAD records is two avalanches of rawness: SORE THROAT “Death to capitalist Halmshaw” double LP and RATOS DE PORAO “Periferia 1982” LP + 7″. Deep in detail, this is what they cosist of:
– SORE THROAT “Death to capitalist Halmshaw” 2xLP gatefold
Double LP, 129 song monstrosity collecting all ST‘s demos, their cult “Death to capitalist Hardcore” debut EP and an endless parade of rarities, comp. tracks and live recordings from 1987 to 1990. Old reviews used to describe Uk’s Sore Throat as “beyond almost anything you’ve ever heard… Even Extreme Noise Terror are scared of them… as palatable as cabbage boiled in fish urine”. Over 2 decades are gone but these pioneers of the most horrorific alcohol-wrecked Noisecore/Grind ever conceived on the British soil still sound as the most nihilist and unsurpassed sonic aberration one can think of, “Sore Throat are a music fan’s worst nightmare”. And to be able to offer their noise in the most pristine form, closer to its primordial authenticity all what you will experience on this horrendous double platter has been scrupolously acquired from the original reels and tapes and mastered for vinyl with the maniacal attention of the widely-acclaimed Toxic Basement studios, an absolute guarantee of passion and dedication for all what comes from the golden days of analog Hardcore/Thrash and Grind. Comes in a thick gatefold sleeve printed on raw, uncoated reverse cardboard and includes a 2-sided A2 poster with an extensive collection of rare photos, flyers, zine excerpts and reviews.
“Death to capitalist Halmshaw” was previously released as a limited edition CD by China’s Area Death Prod., this is the official re-issue on vinyl with 16 extra songs and a completely different/extended layout. Highly recommended to all enthusiasts of the early Grind/Noisecore era and the most extreme Britcore bands that have shaped and developed the genre. “Out of tune guitars with broken strings, unintelligible growls and smashed drum sticks”.

==================
– RATOS DE PORÃO “Periferia 1982″ LP + 7″
Back to the very early origins of South America’s longest running and most respected Hardcore/Punk unit of all times: RATOS DE PORÃO. Best way to portray this: deep into the older basements of the basement rats. In fact, this incredible collection goes to sift in detail through the very first demo recordings of the band, before they started to pave their way with “Crucificados pelo sistema” and before the legendary beast-frontman João Gordo took vocal duties. “Periferia 1982” is an accurate journey through their raw Punk roots, it consists of the first and only two demos (including 5 hyper-rare extra songs that weren’t included in the previous CD edition) and their complete set at “O começo do fim do mundo”, one of the earliest and most important Brazilian Punk meetings of the early 80s. And to make this release even more complete and appetizing we have added a 7″EP including their 6 songs taken from the rare legendary “SUB” compilation LP, one of the first – and hands down the best – Brazilian Punk sampler of that era. So what you get here is a sheer dose of fast, no frills Punk/Hardcore stabs rarely clocking over 1 minute, hitting the face with razor shape distortion and that fury that echoes the true voice of the most abandoned suburbs.
This LP is enriched by a wide selection of period photos, liner-notes and the bonus “Sub” 7″ is presented as a miniature of the original Estudios Vermelhos’ v/a LP! Mandatory for fans of early Brazilian HC the way of OLHO SECO, INOCENTES, FOGO CRUZADO, PSYKOZE and in general raw Punk/Hc drawing influences in Discharge and in the filthiest Scandinavian sonic terrorists. 46 SONGS IN TOTAL!
