Eve of the War is an EP from the Australian progressive metal band, Alchemist. The EP was released by Shock Records through its subsidiary label Thrust in November 1998. The title track, "Eve of the War" is a cover of the opening piece from the 1978 production, Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds. The EP also features two live songs; "Yoni Kunda" first released on Lunasphere, and "Chinese Whispers" first released on Spiritech, a remix of "Yoni Kunda", and two re-mastered songs from Jar of Kingdom. A video clip of the title track was also made.

The EP is now deleted, with "Eve of the War" and the live version of "Chinese Whispers" later included on the Embryonics compilation album in 2005. [1]
