The Spader EP is the third official release and first EP by progressive metal band, No More Pain. It was recorded, mixed and mastered at HomeBrewed Recording in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It is a concept album centered around Mr. Spader, who was a contributor for the band's Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for their previous album The Post Human Condition. His reward was supposed to be a song written about him by the band, but it resulted in a half-hour long EP. The album contains many guests from the local music scene in New Jersey.

It was self-released on May 18, 2016.
