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.

Vio-lence released the EP Torture Tactics on a different label, in response to the deletion of the title track from their first two albums; 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 Hallendale, FL, show from August 1988. "Torture Tactics" and "Gutterslut" were the two outtakes from the 1989 Oppressing the Masses sessions.
