Napalm Death - From Enslavement to Obliteration

Napalm Death
From Enslavement to Obliteration
Earache




From Enslavement to Obliteration could be considered the grindcore version of Damaged by Black Flag. Both records are culminations of past events/evolutions and both records are considered to be each band's last "true" album. In Napalm Death's case, they started mixing death metal and mosh riffs into the material after this record. This was also the last Napalm Death record with Lee Dorian and Bill Steer in the line-up.

Regardless of your feelings about Napalm Death's career, From Enslavement to Obliteration is a classic and is (arguably) their best album. "Unchallenged Hate" is my favorite Napalm Death song ever.

The funny thing is, if you've seen the band live in the last few years, that they play this old material so much faster now, it's sometimes unrecognizable as recorded here. This is a must-have. Recommended for living humans.
