Army of Mushrooms is the eighth studio album by Infected Mushroom released on May 8, 2012 under Dim Mak Records. It features a cover of "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters, "Serve My Thirst", and "U R So F**ked" (which was released as a single/video on February 14, 2012).
Background
Similar to the release of Vicious Delicious, Army of Mushrooms differs greatly from their previous styles, with experimentation in dubstep,[6]electro house, and drum and bass.[2][3] Some versions of the album contain a remixed version of "Bust A Move" from Classical Mushroom titled "Bust A Move (Infected Remix)"; this same remix is included on their previous studio album Legend of the Black Shawarma.[citation needed]
The album is the first Infected Mushroom album to be released on the Steve Aoki label Dim Mak Records, with whom Infected Mushroom signed in late 2011. The singles "Nation of Wusses" and "U R So Fucked" were released on Dim Mak and licensed through Universal Music. The promotional single "The Pretender" was released primarily on Dim Mak. The album's cover art is the work of Russian artist Anton Semenov (also known as Gloom82).

Newcomers to the group may notice the similarities to 'brostep' – particularly Skrillex – in their sound, but this frenetic duo have been causing brain haemorrhages at live shows since 1999 with their unique onslaught of punishing electronic belching.
