The Deed Is Done is the sixth studio album by American rock band Molly Hatchet. It was released in 1984 through Epic Records. This is the first Molly Hatchet album with only two guitarists, after Steve Holland had been replaced by ex-Danny Joe Brown Band keyboard player John Galvin and the return of drummer Bruce Crump. It was also the band's last album for 21 years to feature longtime guitarist Dave Hlubek. The sound of the album is quite different from the southern rock of the band's earlier offerings, completing the transition towards more commercial and FM-friendly hard rock. The Deed Is Done is also Molly Hatchet's last studio album released on Epic Records, and their last one to date to enter the Billboard charts.{{cite web | url = http://www.allmusic.com/artist/molly-hatchet-mn0000923384/awards | title = Molly Hatchet Awards | accessdate = 2017-01-20 | work = AllMusic | publisher = Rovi Corporation |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160407193947/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/molly-hatchet-mn0000923384/awards | archivedate=7 April 2016}} It was reissued in 2013 under the German label SPV/SteamHammer.
