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.

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.
