Here at the F.O.A.D. headquarters we all expected this to be an explosive month, and we can say that it exceeded all our predictions!  Out of 5 releases, diehard versions of 3 went completely sold out in a few days of preorders and GENERAL SURGERY went completely sold out even in the regular black version!  For this reason we plan to make another run of it soon, hopefully for May 2025.  As always, we thank you for this tremendous support and attention to our releases. Almost all preorders have been sent out, the last shipments will leave within this week – as well as larger stocks to our usual distributors, in case you are waiting for these titles to arrive from your dealer of choice.. So to summarize, this month’s gory grind holocaust is finally ready: REGURGITATE “Carnivorous erection” trifold LP / MC, REGURGITATE “Hatefilled vengeance” LP / MC, HEMDALE “Can you smell the stench???” gatefold 2xLP, FLÄCHENBRAND “Grave consequences” gatefold 2xLP are all out NOW, and GENERAL SURGERY “Demos 1990” LP is completely sold out on preorder!!!

Please remember that the splatter-color vinyl versions of REGURGITATE “Carnivorous erection” trifold LP and GENERAL SURGERY “Demos 1990” LP are completely sold out, whatever is still left is going very fast so we recommend you to act fast or cry later!  And for those curious about what we have in the pipeline for next month… It’s quite predictable, since we’ll be busy in Japan attending the amazing “Gekiko festival” and our “F.O.A.D. attacks Yokohama Vol. 2 festival” (2 days!) we have obviously prepared 5x Japanese hardcore/thrash ragers ranging from 80’s to 90’s to today’s bands, stay tuned because we will start announcing them very soon!

After two killer months focused on hardcore punk territories, it was to be expected that we would change course, it’s in the spirit of our label to navigate through different subgenres in the immense galaxy of the most radical underground.. among obscurities, gems to be unearthed and classics to be rediscovered. This month we dive into the most annihilating and blood-thirsty sonic extremism, with 5 releases totally focused on gore-grind and the most annihilating and destructive grindcore. Of the 5 bands we bring you 3 are from Sweden, one from the US and one from Germany.  From Sweden… classics of epic proportions: REGURGITATE – of which we are going ahead to reissue the entire catalog, this time reissueing “Carnivorous erection” and “Hatefilled vengeance”.. and always staying very close to them we have GENERAL SURGERY with the LP reissue of their “Demos 1990”, made in conspiracy with Nuclear Abominations. The excess of sickness and brutality then moves to the States with HEMDALE from which we delight you with their “Can you smell the stench???” complete discography on double LP, and as icing on the cake, from Germany the undisputed bombers of ultraviolence – between grind and the most fucked up + irreverent fastcore/PV, FLÄCHENBRAND with “Grave mistake” 2xLP, collecting their complete discography and some unreleased sessions.

So, to sum it all up, this month we are pleased to deafen you with the following aberrations: REGURGITATE “Carnivorous erection” trifold LP / MC, REGURGITATE “Hatefilled vengeance” LP / MC, GENERAL SURGERY “Demos 1990” LP, HEMDALE “Can you smell the stench???” gatefold 2xLP and FLÄCHENBRAND “Grave consequences” gatefold 2xLP. They’re all up for pre-order at www.scareystore.com! As we often do, we are offering you a limited bundle with diehard versions of each vinyl release, so you can grab all 5 at once at a discounted price. We’ll make this available for a very short period, so we advise you to act fast.  And before we leave you to read the detailed descriptions, our usual two recommendations: 1) blast fast if you want to grab the splatter-colored versions of these 5 monsters because we expect them to sell out fast… “Carnivorous erection” to date has never been released on vinyl but only on CD and picture disc 2) please do your best not to suffocate us with unnecessary requests such as item changes or additions, address changes, anxiety about getting tracking links: as always we will do everything to respect the out now date (around March 20) and pack and ship everything in record time. Thank you for your support and patience!

What is the most proven winning formula in the F.O.A.D. stable?  Years go by and every now and then we always get back there, to one of our favorite countries in the world, with a boundless underground panorama and a myriad of incredible bands. Yes, we are of course talking about JAPAN.  And for once we took the trouble to count up how many Japanese releases have been released by our label so far. With the 4x we’re about to announce, we’re up to 80, in a span of just over 10 years.  Out of a catalog of about 360 titles, that is almost 20 percent!! This hints at the charge of passion and interest we have always had for the scene in this country that never ceases to give us insights and little gems to discover.  And among the many genres this month we focus on the one that is probably closest to our hearts: traditional Japanese hardcore, which in this case covers various eras – from the early 80s with NO CUT, pioneers of the genre in the Kyushu area, from the 90s style with WARSAW from Sapporo and CRUSTY HI CHARGE from Osaka, to the present day with a fantastic band from Tokyo still active today, combining veterans of the historical scene (former POISON COLA / UNKIND) with new promises of a younger generation (two members of MILITARY SHADOW) : 100 SWINDLE with their outrageous “Tokyo Burning core”!  For lovers of pure, no-frills hardcore, fueled with energy and anger, this is truly a month not to be missed!

So, to sum up – the infernal quartet for this February 2025 on F.O.A.D. Records consists of: NO CUT “Humanism / Tragic a present – Demos 1983-1984” LP, WARSAW “S.C. Dynamite go go!!” LP, CRUSTY HI CHARGE “蛇鳳龍虎 – discography 1995-1998″ LP and 100 SWINDLE “Regain our freedom” LP!!  They’re all available for preorder via www.scareystore.com or better yet, try our new tablet version https://mobile.scareystore.com/
As a release date we have set February 17, 2025 also so that we can get in time for March, in which we’ll have as many as 5 releases! As always we have created a limited bundle at a discounted price with the color-splatter versions of these 4 bangers, act fast because it will not be available for long!

And now to the detailed descriptions of each band/LP: 

NO CUT “Humanism / Tragic a present – Demos 1983-1984” LP (F.O.A.D. 362)

Welcome to a new F.O.A.D. year that promises to be truly ear-blowing and full of sick surprises! We ended 2024 with 45 releases, not our record, there was a slight decrease from 2023, mostly because this year was undoubtedly the most challenging in the label’s history. We had to deal with a huge move that resulted in our two previous logistics merging into one warehouse. This and a number of other factors caused a series of delays and unforeseen events that slowed us down for a few months. Now we are fully settled in the new location, with a strong and more substantial team, and the prospects for the times ahead are totally positive, you’ve already seen it with the IMPETIGO boxset, which was the most colossal production in the label’s history. And our release schedule for 2025 is almost complete and it’s monstrous.. so let’s stop the pleasantries and start introducing you to what we have in the pot for this January!  It’s been a while since we’ve offered you an all hardcore month, but as you know our catalog is always unpredictable switching from different underground obscurities and genres, and this month we’re finally here: 100% HARDCORE!  Two Italian bands from two eras far apart, one among the heavyweights of Scandinavian råpunk d-beat and one revelation from the highly acclaimed new wave of Chilean tupa-tupa fuzzcore.  Who are we talking about?  From the grey smog filled motor-city of northern Italy, Turin… we have a phenomenal discography of ROUGH‘s early recordings and the first time on vinyl for ARTURO‘s debut album “Conversazioni”, from the frozen helvete of Swedish mangelcore we have ASOCIAL‘s new album, and from the seedier meanders of Chiguayante in Chile we present S.A.P.U and their raw, nihilistic punk!  So to summarize: ASOCIAL “Kolsvart framtid” gatefold LP, ROUGH “Rude 1982-1983” gatefold LP, 
ARTURO “Conversazioni” LP and S.A.P.U  “Curao, volao y con bajon” LP are all available for preorders.

The release date has been set for January 20 and, as usual, we’ll do our best to be able to start shipping by that date.  As is our custom, we have also made limited bundles available for those who wish to purchase multiple matched items at discounted price. The duration of these offers is entirely at our discretion and will likely end on the release date. And finally, our usual recommendations: don’t stress with unnecessary inquiries such as “have you shipped?”, tracking requests before the release date, changes or additions of items… in the pre-order phase of IMPETIGO we risked nervous breakdown over these things!  And act fast if you want to grab the colored-diehard versions, as you can see many of them are limited to only 100 copies, so they will go fast.

And now here the detailed descriptions of this month’s 4x ragers:

ASOCIAL “Kolsvart framtid” gatefold LP (F.O.A.D. 367)

ARTURO “Conversazioni” LP (F.O.A.D. 361)

TORINO HARDCORE!!! After releasing a collection of the band’s early works (singles and demos from the 90’s) we are honored to welcome ARTURO back to the F.O.A.D. roster by reissuing their debut album “Conversazioni” (2001) for the first time on vinyl, coinciding with their return to the stages after more than a decade! 20 tracks of rapid and original hardcore, backed by their always young and energetic atmosphere and the unparalleled inimitable style that makes Torino’s underground sound so unique. “Conversazioni” was also the first recording with Gigio (from TOHC legends Church Of Violence) on vocals, adding his unique approach combining the aforementioned school with a Bad Brainish vibe.   Recorded at the legendary “Acqualuce Studios” from which all TOHC classics of the 90s and the first two CRIPPLE BASTARDS albums “Your Lies In Check” and “Misantropo a senso unico” came from! LP with insert and OBI strip.

S.A.P.U  “Curao, volao y con bajon” LP (F.O.A.D. 345)

After releasing Chilean punk gems such as Ignorantes, Ediöndö and D.P.C.D., F.O.A.D. Records is proud to unleash another totally underground beast all to be discovered.. S.A.P.U!!
Raw, sloppy tupa-tupa hardcore punk from Chiguayante, Chile delivered with genuine anger and don’t-give-a-fuck-attitude.. Recommended if you like the fuzziest side of South American punk (Ignorantes are the first comparison that comes to mind) spiced up with some Scandinavian Rapunk influences – think of Skitslickers or Huvudtvätt. This is their 2019 full length for the first time on vinyl. LP with insert including lyrics and band photos.  Check them out at C.Y. Fest 2025 in L.A., USA!
