The sound of seminal Scum lp founded what was called grindcore, Scum was followed by From Enslavement to Obliteration in 1988 and there were many versions of it: Gatefold lp, picture vinyl, splatter vinyl and 2 cd versions (28 track & 54 track incl. Scum as bonus). The lp version included The Curse 7" that was given away for free with the initial copies of lp.
The front cover is a classic photo from Vietnam war, children running to escape, one of them is already hit by the napalm bomb. There are five songs here,the eponymous track covers side a and was a new song, its a slow and sick instrumental track that lasts over three minutes, side b delivers four tracks (incl. two one-shot songs of a few seconds each in the vein of You suffer) in the usual ND hypersonic speed and appeared in the cd version.
I don't know how many copies were made, i think i saw somewhere there were 800 pieces, i guess the truth is close to 600-800 copies or so. Anyway this is one of the most obscure ep's Earache Records ever released.
This is vinyl rip and not taken from a cd or whatever that's why the rough sound, this is a 22 years old piece of shit, good as an old bottle of wine, enjoy it and cheers!
Tracks:
01.The Curse
02.Musclehead
03.Your Achievement?
04.Dead
05.Morbid Deceiver
