Flesh Eaters, also known as Disintegration Nation after the title of its opening track, is the four-song debut EP by American rock band the Flesh Eaters.
At the beginning of 1978, just a few months after being formed, the Flesh Eaters, in an early lineup composed of their founder, the singer and songwriter Chris Desjardins (pka Chris D.), guitarist Tito Larriva, bassist John Richey, and drummer Joe Nanini, went into a studio for their first time, with Randy Stodola of the Alley Cats as producer and engineer, to record early versions of the songs "Disintegration Nation", "Agony Shorthand", and "Twisted Road", which, as they were supposed to be demos only, remained unreleased until 2004, when they were featured as bonus tracks on the CD reissue of No Questions Asked, the band's first full-length album originally released in 1980.
Shortly after, still in 1978, Chris D. would come back to Stodola's studio for a second session, this time backed by the members of the pioneering punk rock band the Flyboys, to record what would be the debut release of his band.
The Flesh Eaters EP, produced and engineered by Randy Stodola at Alleycat House, his four-track home studio, was released in 1978 on Upsetter Records, in 7-inch vinyl disc format.
