The Plague (Nuclear Assault EP)
1987 EP by Nuclear Assault
The Plague is the second extended play by the American thrash metal band Nuclear Assault. The six-track EP was originally released as a 12-inch vinyl record through Combat Records in 1987, and later combined with the band's full-length debut, 1986's Game Over, into one CD by Relativity Records.[3]
The EP, which is a "collection of old and new material,"[4] was recorded from December 1986 to January 1987 at the Music Grinder studios in Los Angeles, California with producer Randy Burns.[5] The Plague was originally to be titled "Cross of Iron" and to have had a cross as the sleeve artwork. However, the band's label Combat Records cited possible objections that may have come from religious organizations.[4]
