Chapter Ahead Being Fake was released on 10" vinyl in North America through Hydra Head Records on July 13, 2010 with alternative cover art.{{cite web| last = Kitteringham| first = Sarah| title = Torche Interview and Update| work = Decibel| date = May 25, 2010| url = http://decibelmagazine.com/Content.aspx?ncid=372173| accessdate = June 21, 2010}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}{{cite web| title = Chapter Ahead Being Fake – Overview| work = Allmusic| url = {{AllMusic|class=album|id=r1825283|pure_url=yes}}| accessdate = June 21, 2010}} The American release was intended to be released on the same day as the Japanese release, but Daymare began selling the album without Hydra Head's knowledge. After finding out about the Japanese release, and realizing that Torche's song "King Beef" was already widely available illegally on the internet, Hydra Head was not in a rush to make the physical EP available in the US.

An alternate, shorter mix of "Luna" is available on the international version of New Album.
