F.O.A.D. Records – ED and MINKIONS CD’s: pre-orders open now
MINKIONS “Distorted pictures from distorted reality” CD (FOAD 037)
Italian splatter Thrashing-core kings finally deliver us their devastating bone crunching first full length! It’s rare to see a band of today being released on FOAD Records, as we basically think that most of the crap around these days is just a pandemic display of the increasing death of music, attitude and true underground spirit.. so if we chose MINKIONS, there is a special reason! This record brings us back to what our label is all about, the good old times when Thrash and Hardcore were often melting together in a blood-pit of tight, face punching what-the-fuck-core aggression leaving you breathless and pleasantly floored from the first song to the last, and begging for more! This incredible release is also available on vinyl via Czech Republic’s Doomentia Records, our CD edition comes with a special foldout cover including lyrics and a total Accüsed addicted artwork! So there you go, you do now know the score: raging thrash/speedcore the 80’s way, full of two minutes blast, freaky lyrics about getting fucked up and the kind of insane mosh parts that even your senile grandma won’t be able to resist, ‘Distorted Pictures From A Distorted Reality’ doesn’t fuck around and goes straight into the pit. So what are you waiting for to join the party damn it??
ED “Future primitive + old shit since 2003″ CD (FOAD 038)
Another hidden treasure of blistering Italian Hardcore seeing the light on FOAD Records! Somebody said “Bologna skate punk thrashers on acid playing classic fast Italian hc meets old California punk meets Bay Area thrashcore, those guys were in fantastic BANxTHIS!” ..and no description can give a better portrait. Take the rocking energy and precision of RKL, Accüsed, Verbal Abuse and try to imagine how would it sound if crossovered with a touch of italian HC a la Indigesti. 43 song discography including their brand new studio album “Future primitive” and adding the previous “Nailed to the board” 12″MLP, plus all their EP’s and demo trax. Starting with their most recent output, this release drives you into a brakeless ride through 9 years of furious fucked up bursts rarely clocking over 2 minutes, showing how ED have progressed from direct simple Hardcore in the Italian old school tradition (the early stuff reminds of Arturo in their 90s highlights and once again, Indigesti) to the current days’ Skate Thrashcore Punk with knee-splitting tempo changes, pummeling tight drumming and freaking great riffs. Comes with a 8 page booklet including lyrics and all artworks from the various releases collected. Hands down one of the best Italian HC bands of these days.
