Thrall - Demonsweatlive is an EP by Danzig. It was released in 1993 on American Recordings. The first three tracks are new studio recordings, and the last four are live versions recorded at the band's legendary 1992 Halloween performance at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater in California. "Trouble" is a cover of the Elvis Presley song featured in the movie King Creole. Danzig had previously recorded the song with Samhain, which was later released on the box set version of their Final Descent EP.

The E.P. was issued as a picture-disc CD and LP in Europe. From the fourth pressing on, the CD releases have a hidden track featuring the remixed studio version of "Mother". Thanks to the popularity of that song, both the E.P. and the band's debut album were certified gold by the RIAA in 1994.

The E.P. also features the famous 'Mother 93' as a hidden bonus track; after the seventh track 'Mother', there are several blank five second long tracks leading up to the track #93, it is a remix of the original song 'Mother'. This version of the song was used in the MTV music video which featured 'Mother' as what came to be known as Danzig's most popular song.
