Mad Butcher is the second EP by German thrash metal band Destruction, released on March 6, 1987. Thomas Sandmannhad left the band and two new members had entered the group: a new drummer, Oliver Kaiser, and a new guitarist, Harry Wilkens. This is the band's first studio recording featuring a four-piece lineup, instead of a trio.
"Mad Butcher," the first song of the album, is a re-recording from the Sentence of Death EP with a faster tempo and double solos from Sifringer and Wilkens. The second song "The Damned" is a cover song from The Plasmatics. The third song "Reject Emotions" is a power ballad. Finally, "The Last Judgement" is an instrumental song played by Wilkens.
