From Enslavement to Obliteration

From Enslavement to Obliteration is the seicont album bi the Inglis grindcore baund Napalm Death, released in 1988.

It is the anerlie Napalm Death album tae featur Lee Dorrian as the sole vocalist, whaur he affers the law, gruntin vocals an frae time tae time in sangs, he will scream in an odd-pitched tone, no unlik static. He is considered ane o the first extreme metal vocalists tae alternate atween guttural grouls an heich-pitched screams, a technique that wad be elaboratit on bi fellae grind act Carcass (wha is aften gien credit for the invention o this vocal style) an eimitatit bi coontless baunds in the futur (ane prominent example bein Corpsegrinder o Cannibal Corpse). This album is creditit as a huge influence in the seicont wave o daith metal baunds that follaed this release. This album alang wi Scum is conseidered tae be ane o the maist brutal records o aw time bi fans an creetics as weel.

The album caws for social chynge, as seen in the sang "Uncertainty Blurs the Vision," quotin Rudimentary Peni at the sang's conclusion. This an the umwhile ane focus primarily on poleetical problems, while the next releases will focus mair on releegion (wi an atheist backgrund).
