TERRORIZER RELEASE 5TH PRESSING OF "BEFORE THE DOWNFALL"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

F.O.A.D. Records proudly presents the fifth pressing of one of grindcore’s most essential documents: TERRORIZER – "Before the Downfall", a deluxe gatefold 2xLP + CD edition encompassing the band’s complete demos, live recordings, and unreleased material from 1987 to 1989.

Watch the trailer HERE.

This release represents the first and only official vinyl edition of the legendary TERRORIZER L.A. demos: not a bootleg, but a fully authorized collection that captures the raw power and historic significance of the band’s early years. As Oscar Garcia puts it: “This is the first and the only true release of Terrorizer LA demos ever captured on vinyl… an awesome collection for any Terrorizer fan!”

Hailed as the ultimate anthology of TERRORIZER’s early years, "Before the Downfall" spans 46 tracks of relentless grindcore with a solid death metal backbone, including all the fan-favorite classics alongside rare and unreleased material. Among the highlights is "Collapse", recorded during the "World Downfall" studio sessions but never officially released until now.

This fifth pressing arrives in a deluxe gatefold 2xLP format, now available in new color variants distinct from previous editions. Side D features a striking silkscreened print, adding a unique visual touch. The release also includes a fixed bonus CD, now correctly featuring "Funeral Bitch" (Master cover), a track that was accidentally omitted from the first three pressings.

Collectors will also enjoy a 16-page booklet packed with in-depth interviews, never-before-seen photographs, scans of original flyers, demo artworks, and more, alongside an A2 poster — making this package the definitive item for any TERRORIZER fan or grindcore enthusiast.

This edition is strictly limited to 300 copies worldwide:

200 copies on black vinyl with purple silkscreen print on side D

100 copies on grimace purple vinyl with black silkscreen print on side D

With "Before the Downfall", F.O.A.D. Records delivers a meticulously curated archive of the godfathers of L.A. grindcore at their most unrelenting, a true testament to the power, ferocity, and enduring legacy of TERRORIZER.
