Torture Tactics is an EP recorded by the San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal band Vio-lence in 1991. It was released originally on Megaforce Records and the studio tracks are old songs from the demo times of Vio-lence.
The song "Torture Tactics" was deleted from the previous album; however, it can be found on the Japanese edition of Oppressing the Masses.[3] This EP is the only release besides the Japanese edition of Oppressing the Masses to include "Torture Tactics."
"Officer Nice (live)" was a fake live track. The live intro is taken from Vio-lence's Hallandale, FL show from August 1988. "Dicks of Death" and "Gutterslut" were the two outtakes from the 1989 Oppressing the Masses sessions.
