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.

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.
