This bonus disc are taken from The Curse EP which was released in 1988. From Enslavement to Obliteration - 1:35.The vocals for us went hand-in-hand with the distorted bass guitar, distorted guitars and hyper-fast drumming". If we wanted to do a song that was going to be 20 seconds long then we'd do it – we didn't think there was any reason not to. We weren't really consciously trying to break any rules but we weren't paying any attention to them either. Scum created a buzz and by the time 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. It was a good experience but it was a brief one. Shane Embury retrospectively commented on the band's progression up until From Enslaved.
The album calls for social change, as seen in the song " Uncertainty Blurs the Vision," quoting Rudimentary Peni at the song's conclusion. The album's lyrical themes cover 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" and " From Enslavement to Obliteration"), materialism (" Private Death"), and anti-capitalism (" Make Way!").
