Scum created a buzz and by the time we we did FETO, we just wanted to push it as fast as we could and as far as possible. In the early days in the very beginning before I joined, it was more of a crust punk band really but it was a natural progression, I think, to get faster and faster. Back in those days albums were recorded very quickly - we recorded the album in about six days and I think it cost about 800 pounds.

Shane Embury remembered: 'It was a good experience but it was a brief one. This album, along with Scum, is considered to be one of the most brutal records of all time by fans and critics. This album is credited as a huge influence in the second wave of death metal bands that followed this release. He is considered one of the first extreme metal vocalists to alternate between guttural growls and high-pitched screams, a technique that would be elaborated on by fellow grind act Carcass (who are often given credit for the invention of this vocal style) and imitated by countless bands in the future (one prominent example being Corpsegrinder of Cannibal Corpse).

A remastered version was released on April 2, 2012.įrom Enslavement to Obliteration is the only Napalm Death album to feature Lee Dorrian as the sole vocalist, where he offers the low, grunting vocals and from time to time in songs, he will scream in an odd-pitched tone, not unlike static. It is the final studio album with vocalist Lee Dorrian and guitarist Bill Steer. From Enslavement to Obliteration is the second album by grindcore band Napalm Death, released in 1988.
