The EP was first released in 10-inch vinyl format in April 1995. The vinyl release is unusual in that side A is played at 33 rpm and side B at 45 rpm. The CD version, released in November 1996, contains two bonus tracks originally released on the vinyl single Rocket from the Crypt Plays the Music Machine. The EP is one of the few Rocket from the Crypt recordings to include a lyrics sheet.

The State of Art is on Fire was the first of three releases by Rocket from the Crypt in 1995. The LP Hot Charity and album Scream, Dracula, Scream! were both also recorded and released that year, and singer-guitarist John Reis would later refer to these three records as a "trilogy".

gollark: Recommend them it, as I said.
gollark: Unless you want to constrain the other person's choices (see: gift cards) in which case bee you.
gollark: It is generally considered good for the costs of gifts between you to equalise over time. So to skip transaction costs you should simply not exchange money and recommend products to each other periodically.
gollark: If you are giving someone a thing, if they can purchase it themselves, it is strictly better for them for you to just give them the money it would cost and a recommendation for that gift.
gollark: What? No.
