Slow Death, an EP, is the debut release by Swedish rockers The Leather Nun.

In order to record a b-side he formed The Leather Nun in Gothenburgh, Sweden, in February 1979.

The cover art by Peter Christopherson shows the corpse of Roberto Crescenzio, who was killed in a 1977 firebombing.

The songs from the original EP filled now the a-side, but "Ensam I Natt" was exchanged with a different version, previously released in July 1984 on Criminal Damage Records.

The cover art was changed to show a pattern of skulls resembling the shape of the African continent.
