Early 1980s industrial experimental project known for the cassette release Mental on It's War Boys.
About
The Fear Merchants were an underground industrial/experimental project active in the early 1980s. Their sole known release, Mental, appeared in 1982 on the cassette label It's War Boys. Operating within the nascent industrial and noise music underground of that era, the project reflected the aesthetic and DIY ethos characteristic of early 1980s experimental music scenes. Little detailed documentation of the group exists, positioning them as an obscure artifact of the period's thriving cassette culture and experimental underground.
