Useless Animal is an extended play by the American metalcore band Cult Leader. Released through Deathwish Inc. on June 16, 2015, the EP features two exclusive tracks (the original composition "Useless Animal," and the cover song "You Are Not My Blood") and one original composition titled "Gutter Gods" that would later be released on the band's 2015 debut album, Lightless Walk. Useless Animal was recorded in late 2014 by Andy Patterson, who previously recorded Gaza's 2009 album, He Is Never Coming Back—the now-defunct band that featured three members and gave birth to Cult Leader.
