Posted in Nausea, Plutocracy, Terrorizer (L.A.) on January 29th, 2026 by foadmaster2022

Welcome to a new series of F.O.A.D. releases, the first of 2026. Unfortunately, we had to skip a month and start again from here due to significant delays in delivery from the printing plant for Gore Beyond Necropsy and Sore Throat generated by Xmas congestion… but that’s the way it is and there’s not much we can do about it. The important thing is that you have received your orders and enjoyed our year-end noisy atrocities! To kick off 2026 in the best possible way, we thought we’d assault you right away with a tornado of sonic brutality of the most ballistic and ferocious kind… The theme for this month is pioneering Californian grindcore, with four releases by three titans in the genre: NAUSEA LA, PLUTOCRACY, and TERRORIZER LA.  For Oscar Garcia’s NAUSEA, we are pleased to announce the completion of two anthologies (both on vinyl and CD) that we have assembled over the course of more than 10 years of feverish work, reconstructing their non-album recordings from 1987-1992 and 1998-2006.  In addition to these, and staying within the same family, given the high demand we have decided to release the fifth reissue of a true F.O.A.D. classic, the TERRORIZER compilation “Before the Downfall” on double LP+CD, this time with purple artwork (are you collecting them all?). And finally, another legend of the 90s grind/powerviolence scene: PLUTOCRACY, with the reissue of their rare 12“ entitled ”Off the pigs“. A t-shirt bundle is also available for them.

So, to sum up: NAUSEA ”World struggle – Extended edition” (Complete demos and rehearsals 1987-1992) 2xLP+7“ and 2xCD digipack, NAUSEA ”Exile to confinement – The forgotten demo years collection” 2xLP and 2xCD digipack, PLUTOCRACY “Off the pigs” LP and TERRORIZER “Before the downfall” 2xLP+CD are all available on pre-order at www.scareystore.com  As usual, we have made several discounted bundle offers for those who want to get multiple releases together.  To conclude, our usual recommendations: we advise you not to wait too long if you want to get your hands on the limited editions (splatter/marble). Take last month as an example: two out of 3 are already sold out… And one last thing: please don’t bombard us with unnecessary requests such as substitutions in orders already placed, address changes, payment changes – all this delays our daily work, delays the shipments themselves, and causes us a lot of stress. Once an order is placed, be patient and you will receive everything as soon as possible. 

More in details about this month’s blasting artillery: 

NAUSEA “World struggle – Extended edition” (Complete demos and rehearsals 1987-1992) gatefold double LP+7″ and double CD digipack (F.O.A.D. 388)
LOS ANGELES GRINDCORE at its finest! Expanded and upgraded version that collects all the band’s recordings from 1987 to 1992, with over 1 hour of extra material compared to the previous edition released in 2013. A lethal mix of old school grindcore, crust and touches of death metal with inevitable references to TERRORIZER’s legendary album “World Downfall”. Fact is that about a third of the songs on Terrorizer’s “World Downfall” were actually material from NAUSEA, singer Oscar Garcia’s previous (and current) band. This new version includes the cult split tape with TERRORIZER (1988), the “Psychological Conflict” EP (1990), the ultra-rare “Mind Dead” (demo 1990), “Tumor” (1992 demo), “Breed” demo (1992), various rehearsals from 1987 to 1990, and the “Live crime” tape (1991). 49 TRACKS!! This is raw, doomy and corrosive death metal tinged GRIND with whirlwind blast beats and those incredible moshing riffs that became so influential when World Downfall gained its deserved success. GATEFOLD LP with bonus 7″ (feat. two rare rehearsals 1987), completely revamped artwork and a 16-page booklet with flyers and excerpts from fanzines of the time.

PLUTOCRACY “Off the pigs” LP (F.O.A.D. 406)

Formed in 1988 in Redwood City, California, Plutocracy are hands down one of the most iconic and unique names in West Coast powerviolence. Multi-vocals, angular riffing, neck-breaking tempo changes, rap inserts, noise grafts. All perfectly stitched together on a top tier grinding PowerViolence backbone. Recorded in 2010 and  originally released in a scarcely circulated pressing very sought after by collectors, “Off the Pigs” is the last studio effort from this legendary unit, a bloodcurdling scream of street life, anti-authoritarian mindset and unrest mentality. Plutocracy defy the strictest definitions, a one-of-a-kind band that is impossible to pigeonhole, standing in the same category as Spazz, Crom, Agents Of Satan and No Le$$. This new edition of “Off the Pigs” is accompanied by a very limited t-shirt.

GORE BEYOND NECROPSY “Raw, filthy & harsh!!!” Boxset (F.O.A.D. 400!), SORE THROAT “Disgrace to the corpse of Sid” gatefold LP and SORE THROAT “Unhindered by talent” gatefold LP… out NOW on F.O.A.D. Records!!

Posted in Gore Beyond Necropsy, Sore Throat on January 12th, 2026 by foadmaster2022

Believe it or not (we find it hard to believe ourselves!), we have just entered the 40th year of F.O.A.D., founded in 1986 in Turin as a xeroxed DIY fanzine by our friend Marco (RIP). The journey that has brought us to where we are today has been a real odyssey, with constant ups and downs, incredible highlights, and also a lot of suffering.  In Italy, it’s not easy to run a niche-underground label like this, because everyone does everything possible to slow you down and hinder you in the worst possible ways. But with stubborness, fighting spirit, and a lot of passion and love for what we do, here we are, not only celebrating our 40th anniversary, but also our 400th release! We apologize for the delay caused by the stupid Xmas rush, every year the same bullshit. Unfortunately, what should have been our December releases were only delivered a few days ago (January), so we had to rush like crazy to catch up and ship all your pre-orders. As always, thank you so much to those who continue to support us, believe in what we do, and appreciate the quality of our work. Without your constant encouragement and help, we would not have come this far.  So, to get straight to the point: GORE BEYOND NECROPSY “Raw, filthy & harsh!!!” Boxset (F.O.A.D. 400!), SORE THROAT “Disgrace to the corpse of Sid” gatefold LP, and SORE THROAT “Unhindered by talent” gatefold LP are finally out now.  All pre-orders have been shipped and tracking numbers updated. 

These deliveries will not be very fast because even though they are on their way, they are still suffering from delays accumulated in the senseless end-of-year postal traffic. We kindly ask you to be patient. Please note that the diehard/splatter versions of both SORE THROAT titles are sold out, and the two diehard versions of GORE BEYOND NECROPSY are also rapidly selling out… be quick!  So, as you can see, we have been forced to combine December and January under these three releases, skipping a month. We’ll be back with four new releases in February, and you can obviously expect an avalanche of kicks in the face, because it’ll be a month dedicated entirely to classic CALIFORNIAN GRINDCORE.

Stay tuned!Going into more detail about each release this month:

GORE BEYOND NECROPSY “Raw, filthy & harsh!!!” BOXSET (F.O.A.D. 400)
4 x LPs, 1 x 7″, 2 x CDs + deluxe slipcase + 56 page full color 11″x11″ book and A1 poster. 
Emerging from the filthiest bowels of Japan’s extreme scene, Gore Beyond Necropsy erupted in a horrendous storm with some of the vilest and most degenareted noisegrind ever conceived by human mind. This monsterwork (282 tracks!) compiles all their non-album atrocities from 1991 to 2003, going from their industrial infused gore beginnings to the scatology obsessed fuzz inferno they are well known for.
“Raw filthy & harsh!!!” consists of 4 x LPs compiling all their demos, EPs, splits, compilation tracks and the super rare only recording by GBN’s side project, REPULTURID MANGEL.. plus 2 x CDs with live and rare studio tracks, plus the 7″ replica of the band’s last EP, the deranged psychedelic trip called “Wild & frantic! Rock’n’roll special!!!”. Packaged in a deluxe ultra-thick slipcase with massive poster and 54 PAGE BOOK collecting a shitload of rare photos, flyers, fanzine excerpts and scans of the original releases included.. Prepare your brains for a marathon of raw, filthy and harsh noisegrind!

Available in the following versions:

Solid black vinyl limited to 200 copies

Diehard “faecal noisegore” edition on splatter white/black vinyl with exclusive shaped sticker and slipmat limited to 150 copies

SORE THROAT “Disgrace to the corpse of Sid” gatefold LP
One of the most frightening and terrifying records in music history finally returns to the spotlight in a deluxe F.O.A.D.-treatment reissue!  This 103 song aberration (yes, it was 103 and not 101 as written on the sticker of the first pressing), originally released in 1989 and surrounded by much controversy between the band and Earache Records, remains to this day an unparalleled assault of catastrophic noisecore ferocity.  Call it Noise, Grind, Britcore or whatever you like… but if we’re talking about the most extreme stuff ever released on a 12″, “Disgrace To The Corpse Of Sid” is definitely in the top 5 of all time. “Lion Studios was hit by an even more extreme barrage of noise than before, as we decided to raise the stakes and exceed 100 tracks on the record.” (Rich Militia) This new edition has been entirely remastered for vinyl from the best sound sources and repackaged in a thick cardboard gatefold sleeve featuring extensive liner notes by Rich Militia + OBI strip in Japanese and “Fuck Earache” A2 poster designed by the band.

Solid black vinyl limited to 250 copies

SORE THROAT “Unhindered by talent” gatefold LP (F.O.A.D. 079)
Official reissue of one of the most influential and distinctive noisecore/punk classics of the late 80s UK hardcore scene.  Brand new upgraded version housed in a gatefold sleeve with OBI strip in Japanese, liner notes by Rich Militia, lyrics and a replica of a 1988 promo-poster. 52 songs of cider-intoxicated aural butchery backed by a caustic sense of humor and wildly provocative lyrics.  Quoting some reviews of the time: “SORE THROAT are the latest hell spawn of the ultracore thrash gurgling-gravel-in-a-sound-avalanche school of thought”. / “SORE THROAT are a music fan’s worst nightmare, 52 tracks that threaten to defy the very laws of nature, the ST sound is a thick, ugly mother that catches you like the swiftest blow to the stomach and leaves you feeling you’ve just gone 15 rounds with a runaway steamroller.” Originally released in 1988 after a few successful demos and the hyper-legendary “Death to capitalist Hardcore” 45 song EP, “Unhindered by talent” was the groundbreaking debut full length of UK’s most extreme noise unit, combining ultra-short detonating bursts with some solid 2-riffs/2-words HC ragers devoted to the Discharge/early Scandicore formula and also inevitably reminescent of DOOM, with whom ST shared 2 members. Mastered from the best sounding source in existence for the fiercest possible sonic devastation on vinyl.. “Unhindered by talent but we don’t give a fuck!”.
