Last month we wanted to celebrate the 40th anniversary of F.O.A.D. Records going back to our thrashcore roots and we dedicated April to a full frontal thrash assault so, after focusing on the first half of the thrashcore spectrum it’s time to set ourselves to its other half, so get ready for a facemelting hardcore armageddon! From both US coasts to our beloved Finnish scene, we put together five ragers of pure, unadulterated, fast, no-frills hardcore!
From the West Coast we have the complete discography (including the ultra rare “Hear them think” 1987 demo) of the California hardcore legends VISUAL DISCRIMINATION, a double LP (plus CD) collecting their works from 1987 to 1999 and showcasing one of the pillars of the iconic Nemesis Records catalogue! Going all the way to the East Coast get ready for NYC thrashcore heroes LUDICHRIST and the lost gem that is the demo session prior to their sophomore album “Powertrip”, enriched by a great artwork by Andrei Bouzikov! Moving to the other East Coast hardcore capital, Boston, don’t miss the double LP discography of P.T.L. KLUB, 39 songs of raw, crude, old school Boston HC, the way it should be! Speaking of this amazing scene, it was about time to make a new version of one of our most beloved releases, the double LP collection of one of the most influential extreme bands ever, a real cornerstone for all fast music, SIEGE, this time also on CD! Last but not least, let’s move to Finland to one of the most legendary prime movers of one of the rawest and most important hardcore scenes ever! AIVOPROTEESI are back together and we couldn’t miss the chance to unleash their long awaited comeback on LP!
They are all available for pre-order at www.scareystore.com. As always, you can also find a limited-edition bundle that includes all 5 diehard marbled vinyl versions, for those who want to buy them all at once at a discounted price. The bundle will be available at our discretion, we usually remove it once pre-orders close, so don’t miss out! And now, the usual reminders we give you every time: 1) Please try not to overwhelm us with requests that could cause stress, such as last-minute additions to orders already placed, changes to your address or payment method, tracking numbers before the release date (that is set for April 16th), and so on… 2) Please be patient and give us time to pack and ship your orders. 3) Don’t wait too long to purchase the diehard editions, as they’re the first to sell out.
