Penikufesin (the State of Euphoria sessions) is the name of the third EP by the band Anthrax. The record was released in August 1989 by Megaforce Records / Island Records in Europe and Japan. The record includes the songs "Now It's Dark" (from State of Euphoria), a French version of the Trust cover "Antisocial" (the English version also appeared on State of Euphoria), the classic tune "Friggin' In The Riggin'" (made famous by the Sex Pistols), "Parasite" (a Kiss cover), "Le Sects" (another Trust cover) and "Pipeline" (a surf rock instrumental originally by The Chantays). The last three songs later appeared on Attack of the Killer B's ("Le Sects" was renamed "Sects"). Penikufesin was certified gold by the RIAA.

"Penikufesin" is "ni[c]e fu[c]kin' EP" spelled backwards. It refers to a song entitled Efilnikufesin N.F.L. ("ni[c]e fu[c]kin' life") which appeared on Anthrax's 1987 album Among the Living.
