About

Surf Nicaragua is an EP from American thrash metal band Sacred Reich. It was released on October 4, 1988, on Metal Blade Records and follows the band's debut album, Ignorance, released the previous year. The title track is about American imperialism in Latin America and the possibility of Americans going to war in Nicaragua. According to lead guitarist Wiley Arnett, vocalist-bassist Phil Rind explained that the song was about "the Sandanistas and what’s going on in Managua." "One Nation" expresses themes of anti-discrimination and prejudice, being described as "a call for Americans to reject racism and bigotry and work together to improve things" by Alex Henderson of AllMusic. The third track is a cover version of the Black Sabbath song, "War Pigs". The fourth track, "Draining You of Life", is originally from the band's first demo of the same name. The last two tracks are live recordings of the songs "Ignorance" and "Death Squad" respectively, originally from their debut album Ignorance.
