''The Witch Trials'' EP

The Witch Trials was recorded in England. According to Biafra, "The Witch Trials is the most evil record I've ever been associated with".
The EP was released in 1981 by Subterranean Records. According to John Trubee of [Spin (magazine)|Spin], the EP was released "with virtually no promotion and no information".

Reception

Spin said the album, "Biafra improvised most of the vocals here, spewing surreal nightmares fraught with sociopolitical overtones over a zombie pulse of electronic ugliness. All the material possesses this crude, ludicrous, insane, homemade feel — almost as if the material should never have made it to vinyl."
