"From Enslavement to Obliteration" is the second album by grindcore band Napalm Death, released in 1988.

It 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. 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.

The lyrical themes ranged from a variety of social and political topics, including: misogyny/sexism ("It's a M.A.N.S World" and "Inconceivable?"), animal rights ("Display to Me..."), racism ("Unchallenged Hate"), materialism ("Private Death" and "From Enslavement to Obliteration"), and capitalism ("Make Way!"). The album calls for social change, as seen in the song "Uncertainty Blurs the Vision," quoting Rudimentary Peni at the song's conclusion.
