(scroll down for the English version)

 

Il 25 Maggio 2013 è una data da segnare negli annali sia per chi da tempo segue le uscite FOAD Records che in generale per gli appassionati dell’Hardcore/Punk Italiano della prima ondata. Siamo orgogliosi di annunciare l’apertura dei pre-ordini (con uscita prevista appunto sul 25/05) per due super-classici rigorosamente in vinile:

 

NERORGASMO “Passione nera: discografia 1985-1993″ Doppio LP gatefold.

 

Attenzione: l’edizione limitata in vinile viola funebre trasparente sarà solo ed esclusivamente disponibile tramite mailorder Scareystore e mai al nostro stand, nè tramite altri distributori. 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 espressoni 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!
PRE-ORDINA L’EDIZIONE LIMITATA IN VINILE VIOLA (solo 100 copie!!) qui:
Oppure quella in vinile nero qui:

 

UNDERAGE “Perchè non siamo nati per… il nostro caos 1982-1983″ LP con libretto a 12 pagine.

 

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]

 

May 25th 2013 is a date to be carved in stone to all the die-hard fans of early ’80s Italian Hardcore and to FOAD followers in general.
We are proud to announce that pre-orders are open for the following longly awaited 2 super-classics:

 

NERORGASMO “Passione nera: discografia 1985-1993″ Double LP gatefold

 

Note: the ultra limited edition (only 100 pressed) in transparent funeral purple vinyl will be only available via Scareystore mailorder and not from other distros/stores. 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 “fuorious 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 goodbadmusic.com:  “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.”

Or the regular black vinyl here:

 

UNDERAGE “Perchè non siamo nati per… il nostro caos 1982-1983″ LP with 12 page 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 digipack CD discography. 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. Pre-order here:

Brand new album delivered by these merciless bone-breakers hailing from Torino, Northern Italy. CONCRETE BLOCK carve a new chapter in sheer brutality and demolish the bars set by today’s Hardcore revivalists delivering a death raid that combines the slow paced groovy Sludgecore heaviness of Crowbar with a solid taste in good old thrashin’ Crossover/HC (think of Crumbsuckers, Sepultura and early day Corrosion Of Conformity).

A Carnivore cover ends the onslaught and proves from which background these outlaws come from.. 8 songs of full-throated rage, backed by a magnificent production. All this served in a FOAD-styled deluxe digipack with 12 page booklet. Hands down the most promising band in today’s Italian Metal/Hardcore scene!
