Killer on the Rampage is the sixth studio album by British musician Eddy Grant. It was released on 15 November 1982 through Ice Records and Portrait Records. It remains his most successful album, reaching the top 10 in the US and the UK. It features the hits "Electric Avenue" (which became a hit in the US and UK at No. 2), "I Don't Wanna Dance" (a UK No. 1 hit) and "War Party" (a UK No. 42).
Background Following the British success of his previous album Can't Get Enough, Grant decided to move from England to Barbados and continue recording at his soon-to-be-built Blue Wave Studios. During the flight to his new home, Grant's luggage containing all of the songs he had written to be recorded for his next album were lost, never to be recovered. Forced to write an entire album from scratch, among the new songs were two of his biggest hits, "Electric Avenue" and "I Don't Wanna Dance".
