RAW POWER-Screams From The Gutter–35th anniversary edition g/f LP + poster-die-hard.

DIEHARD GLOW IN THE DARK VINYL STRICTLY LIMITED TO 150 COPIES.
F.O.A.D. Records keeps up the unbreakable legacy with Italy's absolute Hardcore heroes Raw Power giving to their most classic album "Screams from the gutter" a proper deluxe edition to consecrate its 35th anniversary, a total quality-care version that makes justice to this timeless Hardcore milestone! Many of you will agree that this is the finest Italian HC offering ever made and easily one of the 10 world's best Hardcore records of the 80's.. over 40.000 copies sold and still sounding fresh and up-to-date even when compared to modern HC standards. FOAD's treatment for this all time colossus consists of a thick glossy gatefold sleeve featuring lyrics and rare/unreleased photos and flyers, a square A2 replica of their cult gig-poster with Cro-Mags and Motörhead + a scrupolous mastering that respects in detail the original reels sound leaving full breathe and dynamics to its original impact and (raw) power! 17 gems of intense, no-frills HC with a bombastic drummer, fantastic guitar riffs and angry vocals. It's a difficult comparison with their other early output - "You Are The Victim" and the excellent material released by BCT - but after all "Screams From The Gutter" marks Raw Power's peak due to its superior production. The band's simple yet instantly memorable riffs bring to mind Black Flag, Circle Jerks but also earlier groups like the Who, AC/DC, and of course, the Stooges. Throw in some cool harmonics, rockin' solos, a cowbell, and a guitar player with hell-shriek vocals, a fucking huge afro and pointy shoes, and you have this flawless Hardcore classic!!

PREORDERS, release JUNE 22nd 2020.
Solid black vinyl limited to 250 copies only - https://blitzrecords.bigcartel.com/
Sapporo City Hardcore! Complete discography (1996-1998) collecting their 3 demotapes.. 18 songs! An adrenalinic aggression of traditional Japanese Hardcore fury delivered by local heroes of the SCxHC scene that also played in bands like F.U.P., SHOT GUN, WARSAW, BARRICADE, SLANG and more! If the '80's are considered by many as the best decade for Punk and Hardcore, it's a fact that Japan had an equally vital and intense movement in the '90s too, with an endless list of iconic bands and releases. And this is exactly what you'll notice on this Chinpira discography, there are no weak parts from start to finish, it's all there... caustic shouts alternated with gang vocals, blazing solos enhancing a solid guitar work at times leaning towards metallic territories and a pummelling rhitmyc section. If you're into bands like Nightmare, Death Side, Warhead, Crude and early Slang you'll find an hidden gem here! And to go hand in hand with the greatness of the audio contents, this LP is enriched by a stunning packaging consisting of 3 booklets!! One is the replica of a very limited mini-zine they used to send together with the 1st demo, the other two contain a crazy amount of photos, original art and interesting details. Special 5mm jacket with OBI strip.

If you're possessed by the abuse of speed and aggression of bands like S.O.B., Outo, Gudon, Brain Death, Googolplex, Systematic Death etc. you can't go wrong with this, just put this record up and you'll be smashed by a bloodshed of manic fast ferocity! One sided LP with silk-screened artwork on the back, OBI strip and insert with never seen before photos + scans from the EP and demotape.

Total Metal/Punk armageddon from this current-day Japanese terrorsquad! Their 2nd full length album for the first time on vinyl.

A must have for fans of GISM, DEAD ARMYS, THE SEXUAL and PARASITE!
Their debut CD “Metal Punk Ironfist” was undoubtedly a good surprise, but when we first played “Blood for freedom” we had no exitation in asking them if we could put it out on vinyl, it absolutely shreds! Comes with OBI strip and insert including lyrics and band photos.

"Invocated unholy tracks: the most complete collection of Messiah Death" 2xLP Gatefold. Complete discography of these grim and aggressive Japanese Death Metal lunatics! Formed in Tokyo in 1987 on the ashes of Criminal Christ, MESSIAH DEATH stand among the earliest acts to raise the unholy flag of Death Metal in their country along with a handful of bands such as Crucifixion, Beleth, Vexation.. considering that Necrophile and Transgressor started a bit later. Their style was originally inspired by classics like Possessed, Death, Slayer but gradually escalated to a much rawer and aggressive Death-thrashing onslaught with echoes of bands like Massacre (US), Morbid Angel, Nihilist combined to influences from the South American school of Mutilator, early Sepultura, Vulcano and so on. This double LP includes the band's most complete discography to date, with even more tracks than the now hard to find CD collection released in 2013.
Contents: - "Gore of the crucifix" Demo (1987) / - "Immortal kingdom" Demo (1988) / - "Invocated unholy souls" Demo (1989) / - "Live at Explosion Rock House, Tokyo" (1988) / - BONUS out takes and unreleased versions.

NEVER AGAIN - Walk By Myself - 7" + download code - Japan.

NEVER AGAIN who have long nurtured the underground Hiroshima scene have now released a long-awaited 7" single!!
This band creates vibrant pieces colored with the specific format in mind. Although NEVER AGAIN have been actively releasing new material for the past few years, it's been a while since a 7" release. NEVER AGAIN's essence is embedded in a spinal cord made of hardcore and punk, but their approaches to music flourish beyond a cage of bone. Throughout their career they have received support from many masses, but NEVER AGAIN's main message has never become a mere decoration. They speak straight from the heart. To those familiar with the mysterious stains and questionable aromas of punk history, the name Never Again is particularly apt for a punk act out of Hiroshima. In 1981, British punks Discharge released a track of the same name that consisted of little more than four haiku-like lines describing the aftermath of an atomic bombing — each followed by the brutally shouted words “Never, never, never again!!!”
Yet surprisingly the choice of names came entirely by accident.“We needed a name, and I happened to be wearing a Discharge hoodie with that album cover on it,” recalls Nishizaki, who was 16 at the time. “So I pointed to the words and read, ‘We’re called Never Again!’ I had no idea what it meant at the time.” It was only later, when showing an overseas punk band around the Peace Park, that one of its members explained the damning antinuclear message of the Discharge song.

BOMBANFALL - Åsiktsfrihet - 7" EP red vinyl.

 limited press of 500 copies on red vinyl.
Highly influential Swedish classic from 1987. 6 tracks of dark and punishing hardcore punk from a time when no other bands had the same unique sound. Restored from original release by Lanchy and Kenko/Communichaos Media Clay Station. - - https://blitzrecords.bigcartel.com/

SCARECROW - Revenge - 7" E.P.

 limited press of 350 copies only.
The best US hardcore band/7" I've heard in a while. When it comes to this "Swedish influenced" styled hardcore (mangel) there is no one, in recent years, who does it better and more justice than the americans. They have refined and developed the Swedish heritage and turned it into their own sound. A brilliant display of riffs, pure brutality and ferocious speed. European version, originally 
released by Bunker Punks (US). Mängel up your ass!

MISILISKI - Maboroshi - 7" .

limited press of 350 copies only.
Misiliski from Tokyo, Japan, has that genuine hardcore attitude but at the same time the melodies that characterize a great punk band. It's easy to stare yourself blind on the members history and expecting hardcore punk blasting from the speakers. Think again, what you'll get is modern and fresh '77 suburban punk sound akin to The Vicious, Avengers, Adolescents and similar. This is their third 7" EP. 4 songs. We also have their debut 7" in stock, for those who missed out.
