NAPALM DEATH FROM ENSLAVEMENT TO OBLITERATION FULL

It's the way grindcore used to be, and still should be.īookended by the sole tracks on it with a running time of over three minutes, From Enslavement To Obliteration is a more sonically consistent album than the preceding Scum - it's the first Napalm Death album to be played by the same lineup from start to finish, for one thing - and it's also the one Napalm Death album which really chased after the whole the 'super-short songs' thing as an aesthetic decision. This is fast, energetic, brutal as fuck, no nonsense music. Bass player Shane Embury has stayed with Napalm Death, and has been a leading figure in shaping the direction of most things extreme since. Drummer Mick Harris helped create the almighty Godflesh and a plethora of other experimental extreme musical projects.

NAPALM DEATH FROM ENSLAVEMENT TO OBLITERATION FULL

Guitarist Bill Steer went to Carcass full time. No one involved with this album could have possibly imagined the influence they would all have on extreme music. Then again, 12 minute epics are not really an option when playing at this speed and intensity. Only two tracks stretch past the three minute mark, and a good number are shorter than a minute. The songs are exercises in beautiful simplicity. Everything is straight forward, and pushed to the limits just to see what would happen. Ugly music stripped back to the bare bones. Twenty-seven manic tracks blast past in a bit over 34 minutes. 'From Enslavement To Obliteration' is simply a blinding album which will rip your fucking face off! Nah, fuck all that over analysis bullshit. Four young men with astounding clarity of vision are brought together by the spirit of creative lifeforce and combine their common love of music, in the process recording an album which becomes a yardstick for a genre, the starting point for a new musical movement, an awakening of creative consciousness, a defining moment in the artistic oeuvre.

(Showing up almost five hours late for a Peel session didn’t help, but the resultant songs did!) The FETO lineup burned bright and fast learn everything you need to know about what Mick Harris (accurately) calls “the archetypal grindcore record.” You’ve already read plenty about this era via our editor-in-chief’s Choosing Death, but here the band goes in-depth about taking control of the wheel and steering the Napalm narrative out of novelty band hell. Nick Green corralled Shane Embury, Mick Harris, Bill Steer and Lee Dorrian, extreme music legends all, for the story of how Scum’s B-side lineup (with Embury replacing bassist Jim Whiteley) could stand one each other juuuuust long enough to unleash one last bona fide grind-punk classic. Looking forward to announcing Barney and Alexi’s supergroup flexi premiere! Keep an eye out around, oh, 2076!īut for the purposes of today’s column, FETO is the story. That’s the ticket! Anyway, Napalm’s second HOF enshrinee, sophomore scourge From Enslavement to Obliteration, pops up in the current Iron Maiden issue, just a month before (breaking newz alert!) Alexi Laiho and other high-profile bands from the Land of the Midnight Sun grace the cover of our special Finnish metal issue! These guys can’t get away from one another. Napalm Death’s first Decibel Hall of Fame ( Scum, obviously) was inducted way back in May of 2008, an issue flaunting a… hmmm… “regrettable” isn’t very nice, so let’s go with a disarming Children of Bodom cover image.

You put out a magazine for 11 years, weird coincidences pop up from time to time. Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month is Decibel.
