August 11, 1991 β€” Gorefest released their debut studio album, Mindloss via the small Dutch label, Foundation 2000 Records. (Apple Music or Spotify)



It was later reissued by Nuclear Blast in 1993.



It was reissued again in 2005 as a double-CD with Tangled in Gore and Horrors in a Retarded Mind demos on disc 2.



Background:

Within two months of existence Gorefest recorded their first demo. A Dutch independent label, Foundation 2000, signed them for one album. Before recording Mindloss, they released another demo in 1990, which received positive feedback.



As a supporting act for Carcass in 1990, they traveled through Belgium and the Netherlands impressing the Metal-scene also on stage.




Gorefest recorded Mindloss at Stonesound Studios in Roosendaal, Holland from June 3rd to June 15th in 1991.



The album was produced by Colin Richardson and Mark Fritsma. It was mixed from July 4th to July 6th in 1991 at Axis Studio in Sheffield, England, United Kingdom. The cover concept was by Jan-Chris de Koeije and Lupo. The cover design, layout and photography were by Lupo and Mireille.



Before they toured with Revenant from New Jersey, guitarist Alex van Schaik was replaced by Boudewijn Vincent Bonebakker.

Not satisfied with Foundation 2000, Gorefest signed a contract in 1992 with Nuclear Blast.



Marc Hoogendoorn quit because of incidents during the Mindloss Tour and drummer Ed Warby (who came from the Power Metal band Elegy) took his place.
