D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L is the debut EP of British indie rock band Panchiko. It was recorded and self-released by the band between 1999 and 2000, and contains four songs with a total length of 18 minutes and 33 seconds. The EP was created entirely independently by Panchiko as a demo, and only about 30 copies were made, all of which were burnt onto recordable CDs.^[1]

D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L failed to receive any form of mainstream attention, and Panchiko disbanded shortly thereafter. It remained in obscurity until it was rediscovered by a 4chan user in July 2016, gathering a cult following. The former members of the band reunited and released a remastered version of the album in February 2020.
