Vulcan is the debut extended play by American industrial rock band Snake River Conspiracy. It was released on October 5, 1999. The five-song EP contains three renditions of the title track, along with a B-side and a cover of the Beatles song "She Said She Said." The song Vulcan was also included on the band's debut album, Sonic Jihad, which came out in July 2000.
In a positive review from NME, Steven Wells described Vulcan as "Y2K TouretteâÂÂs Pop" and named it as the "Single of the Week", writing that "[I]t beats the living shit out every single other record released this week and then dances naked around a bonfire of their burning corpses daubed in satanic runes and gibbering like a traumatised gibbon." In theVillage Voice, Chuck Eddy called it "a suburban s&m theme park set to wax, kinky in a really cute way" but noted "Nobody audibly utters 'vulcan" anywhere in the lyrics, but a different word keeps recurring."
