raw tension e.p. (stylized as >Raw Tension<) is an EP by haloblack, released on August 23, 1995 by Fifth Colvmn Records. It contains outtakes and remixes from the band's first two full-length Haloblack albums, Tension Filter and funkyhell. Intended to be pressed on compact disc in 1995 with its six songs contained in one continuous track, the EP was instead issued on cassette with an additional seventh track and te songs separated.^[1] On March 7, 2001, the CD-R version was released with original intended track listing intact on digital format.^[2]
