FMEP is the first extended play by Fireball Ministry. Released in 2001 via Small Stone Records, FMEP features three original songs and covers of Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, Blue Cheer, The Misfits and Aerosmith. The last three tracks all previously appeared on various tribute albums released in 1999 and 2000, respectively. Fu Manchu members Brad Davis and Scott Hill both contributed to this record. Helen Storer played on the bonus tracks but would not be credited.[1][2]
The album cover, designed by Keith Scharwath, was based on the painting "Monastery Graveyard in The Snow" by Caspar David Friedrich (1774 - 1840)[3][4]
