Fight to Be Free / Brain Death
Fight to Be Free / Brain Death is an EP by the New York thrash band Nuclear Assault, released in 1988 on Under One Flag, the label that handled their UK and European releases that year.
It arrived in the same year as their second album, Survive, following the debut Game Over from 1986 and ahead of Handle With Care in 1989. For anyone tracing the band's early run of records, it is a small but telling piece of that busy stretch.
