So going in detail, here’s what you’re going to see:

CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER “Life in grave + rarities 1985/1988″ gatefold LP with 36 page zine/booklet

California’s thrashing Speed-core pioneers CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER team up with FOAD Records for an incredible vinyl treasure finally giving the right treatment to their legendary “Life in grave” Demotape 1985 and to an accurate selection of ultra-rare/unreleased recordings ranging from their 3 piece line-up era (1985) to the “Convicted”/”Money talks” days. This release has been in the works for months until we found the top sounding masters in existence and restored them for the best possible audiophile result when pressed on vinyl. Side A includes the band’s Demotape “Life in grave” adding 2 rehearsal tracks from the same period, one is a speeded up HELLHAMMER cover and one is a super-raw version of VENOM‘s “Welcome to hell”. Side B is all focused on the “Convicted”/”Money talks” 4 piece line-up and includes various live recordings and a good sounding rehearsal 1986. All songs here are performed even faster than how they were played on their classic albums. This is how Goodbadmusic.com introduced “Life in grave”: “1985 was a good year for music – bands like SLAUGHTER, NYC MAYHEM, VOOR, WEHRMACHT, HIRAX, DEATH, REPULSION and CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER amazed me and they still blow me away today! Especially this one here with its youthful urgency, its unpolished power and enthusiasm. And stilistically, this was very refreshing. Could you say whether this is more metal or more HC? Does it matter to you?” Being this one of the most important FOAD releases to date, we also dedicated the right passion to the packaging: a stunning reverse board gatefold sleeve and most of all a 36 PAGE zine/booklet stuffed with rare photos, interviews, zine excerpts and gig flyers. If you’re into any kind of fast music be it Thrash, Hardcore, Grind or PowerViolence, you are MAD if you miss this!!

Die-hard edition in “half n half” coloured vinyl (half black with yellow splattering / half red striped with black)

Regular black vinyl

BULLDOZER “The exorcism Demo 1984 + Fallen angel” gatefold LP

The ultra-fucking-rare BULLDOZER Demotape 1984 with kult “Fallen angel” 7″ added as bonus. One of the most incredible findings in FOAD‘s hunting career: only 3 copies of this demo exist, one was sent to Roadrunner, one to King Diamond and one was recently exhumed in AC Wild’s basement and delivered to us for a top quality treatment. This is the recording that got Bulldozer signed to Roadrunner in 1984 and it sounds killer.. different and rawer versions of classics ended on their debut slasher “The day of wrath”. Dark, demonical Black/Speed Metal from the most savage guts of Italy’s early 80s Metal inferno, for anyone that worships the early releases from Venom, Bathory and Possessed, plus the “Fallen angel” session adds that Motörhead touch making this an instant masterpiece of rawness and sheer power. Check out how AC Wild introduced the unreleased Demo recordings: “This tape was sent to Roadrunner and Roadrunner signed us in 1984. It was also submitted to King Diamond to ask if he was interested in being the producer of our album but he refused saying that this stuff sounded “too Punk”!! Comes in a stunning gatefold cover filled with rare/unreleased photos, alternate artworks and liner-notes.

Die-hard edition limited to 100 copies on splatter vinyl (iridescent blood-red mixed with gold + dark speckles)
including an embroidered patch with the band’s logo

Dopo la febbrile attesa legata a un ritardo dalla fabbrica causa il difficile confezionamento delle copertine “a libro” di NERORGASMO, siamo lieti di annunciare che le due attesissime nuove uscite in vinile su FOAD Records sono finalmente arrivate: NERORGASMO “Passione nera 1985-1993″ Doppio LP e UNDERAGE “Perchè non siamo nati per…” LP con booklet/mini-zine. Le spedizioni dei pre-ordini partiranno dal 30 Maggio, faremo del nostro meglio per smaltirle in pochi giorni ma essendo davvero tante non vi stupite se ci sarà qualche giorno di ritardo. L’edizione limitata in vinile viola di NERORGASMO è stata spazzata via nei primi due giorni di preordini e non ce ne avanza neanche una copia. Quella in vinile nero invece è ancora disponibile, potete ordinarla al link qui sotto. Ormai tutti quelli che ci seguono conoscono nel minimo dettaglio queste due pietre miliari del Punk Italiano anni ’80, riportiamo però una descrizione dettagliata per chi ancora non fosse informato a riguardo:

- NERORGASMO “Passione nera: discografia 1985-1993″ doppio LP con copertina rilegata “a libro” (1 kg di disco!)

Confezionato in un’elegantissimo gatefold con costina spessa stile libro e finitura UV parziale, contenente librettone di 28 pagine carico di illustrazioni inedite di Luca Abort, più testi, foto e note biografiche. Una delle discografie più imperdibili nella storia del Punk Italiano, assemblata in anni di lavoro febbrile e ostacoli a volte quasi insormontabili. NERORGASMO, il volto più tetro, sincero e nichilista del Punk a Torino negli anni ’80 e primi ’90, lo specchio nero della decadenza urbana in una città che ha generato le espressioni più fervide e attive del Punk/HC di tutta la penisola nel suo periodo d’oro. Raccolta completissima formata da 44 brani (a sorpresa ben 5 in più rispetto al precedente CD/DVD sempre su FOAD): il primo singolo rimasterizzato come non l’avete mai sentito – acquisito da una sorgente pre-stampa su vinile e quindi senza il minimo “scoppiettio” da materiale acquisito da vecchi dischi, l’intero album 1993 rimasterizzato dal DAT originale, 9 tracce in studio del 1987 completamente INEDITE fino a oggi e una selezione di materiale dal vivo dal 1986 al 1993. L’incrocio perfetto tra il Punk più cupo e quella venatura Dark/Rock che ha reso il loro nome così unico e apprezzato ben oltre lo standard degli ascoltatori e completisti dell’HC Italiano di quel periodo. Doppio LP essenziale presentato in una confezione incredibile mai vista prima nella storia del vinile Italiano!

ORDINA QUI:

- UNDERAGE “Perchè non siamo nati per…” LP + mini-zine/booklet

Copertina da 425 grammi con libretto simil-fanzine contenente un’esauriente raccolta di flyer inediti, foto, testi e rarità. Discografia studio completa contenente il mitico EP 1983 originariamente uscito per la Attack Punk Records e considerato uno dei primi 10 dischi “Hardcore” nel vero e proprio senso della parola mai usciti in Italia + il Demotape 1983 + una manciata di brani con la primissima formazione. Mastering maniacale curato come sempre dal Toxic Basement Studio ripartendo dai nastri originali con un suono studiato appositamente per il vinile e di due spanne superiore alla precedente edizione in CD! Napoli Hardcore/Punk all’apice dell’energia e spontaneità che caratterizzava la prima ondata di band di quel periodo. Velocità, rabbia e un muro di distorsione incredibile. Tra i primi insieme agli EU’S ARSE ad aver re-interpretato in chiave Italiana la formula Dischargiana, in questo caso condita da un’overdose di distorsione che rende alla perfezione la colonna sonora di quello che viene ritratto attraverso testi fatti di paura per un futuro nuclearizzato, guerre, lager e alienazione urbana. Consigliato soprattutto a chi è appassionato al filone Hardcore catastrofico più sferragliante e al muro “noise” di band come DISORDER, CONFUSE, GAI, GUDON. Imperdibile!!

[ENGLISH VERSION]

After a slight delay from the plassing plant due to the difficult assembling of this specially packaged release, we are happy to announce that the longly awaited NERORGASMO “Passione nera 1985-1993″ double LP has been finally delivered at FOAD’s headquarters together with UNDERAGE “Perchè non siamo nati per..” LP w/ mini-zine, and we are starting to ship now. NERORGASMO’s limited edition on purple vinyl has been wiped out in the first 2 days of pre-sales, totally sold out! The regular black vinyl pressing can be ordered at the link below. Most of you already know these bands very well, but for those who aren’t familiar to them yet, here’s a brief introduction to each release:

- NERORGASMO “Passione nera: discography 1985-1993″ double LP in hard bound casewrapped book-like cover (1 kg weight!)

Housed in a stunning deluxe hard bound casewrapped book-like gatefold (with spot UV print) including 28 pages filled with never-seen-before drawings by Luca Abort, plus photos, liner notes and lyrics, this is easily among the most elegant and high quality packagings ever made for an Italian underground band on vinyl. One of the most essential discography releases in the whole history of Italian Punk, finally seeing the light after years of hard strains and endless stalemates. NERORGASMO, the blackest and most sincere face of Torino’s Dark/Punk nihilism in the ’80s and early ’90s, the true sound of urban decadence in the city that generated some of the most active and creative Punk/HC acts back in the “furious years” of Italian hardcore (think of NEGAZIONE, DECLINO, 5# BRACCIO etc). This double LP is a complete collection of their recorded material, 44 songs (5 more than the previous CD/DVD on FOAD), including their first legendary EP remastered from a 1st generation tape before it was pressed on vinyl (so you won’t hear any old vinyl crackles), the 1993 album remastered from the studio DAT, 9 completely UNRELEASED studio tracks (1987) and a great selection of live footage 1986-1993. Musically, this was a unique brand of blackened HC/Punk the Italian way crossed with some sinister Dark/Rock influences and the incredibly expressive vocals of Luca Abort (RIP) mixing rage with his sick sarcastic moods. Check the review on GOOD BAD MUSIC: “Italy’s NERORGASMO (translates as “Black Orgasm” – wonderful!) released one of the darkest and most original sounding records of the 80s. Backwards message, weird sounds and ultra evil, CCM-like riffing, creating a sickly sweet atmosphere of lascivious cross-downturning. Just the way we love it so much! What is anarchy and subversion if there’s not some good old satanism involved.”

ORDER HERE:

- UNDERAGE “Perchè non siamo nati per…” LP + zine/booklet

425 gsm cover including 12 page ‘zine styled booklet filled with rare flyers and photos. Complete studio discography 1981-1983, 23 tracks including their classic EP originally released by Attack Punk Records (rated as one of the first 10 pure “HC” vinyls that ever came out in Italy) + the 1983 Demo + some early day recordings. Special mastering for vinyl sounding a lot better than the previous discography digipack CD. Napoli Hardcore/Punk at its climax of energy and spontaneity in full early ’80s italo-HC shape. Fast, distorted to the bone, exploding in anger. Not only they were among the first in Italy to introduce the D-beat formula of the first wave of Dis-influenced bands (think of EU’S ARSE as well) but they also added an overdose of buzzsaw distortion that made their nuclear feared / post atomic sound a real gem for those who’re able to discern this kind of atmospheres and also those who enjoy the latter wall of noise HC of bands like CONFUSE, GAI, GUDON and similar ear destroyers!

Limited edition pressed on bright red vinyl just like the classic 1983 Ep on Attack Punk. Order here:
