With the departure of Broadrick and Bullen, the remaining members started looking for people who could fill in the roles. Guitarist [[Bill Steer]] played in a death metal band based in Liverpool called [[Carcass (band)|Carcass]], and given the affinity between the two, he joined Napalm Death while still playing an active role in the former. They had also asked another friend, Coventrian [[Lee Dorrian]], to join as vocalist due to his good relationship with the group, even though he had never been in a band before. This line-up recorded the B side of the ''Scum'' LP at Rich Bitch studios in early May 1987, and the album was released through Earache Records.

The band promptly lost another member just after they undertook a short tour after the release of ''[[Scum (Napalm Death album)|Scum]]''. Jim Whiteley left the group (and subsequently joined Weston-Super-Mare based band Ripcord with whom the aforementioned tour had been shared) and [[Shane Embury]] (former drummer of [[Unseen Terror]]) moved to bass. The band then appeared on two compilation records ('North Atlantic Noise Attack' and the 'Pathological Compilation'), recorded two [[John Peel|Peel]] sessions and a split 7-inch with [[Japan]]ese band [[S.O.B. (band)|S.O.B.]] They also returned to Rich Bitch studio once more and recorded their second album: ''[[From Enslavement to Obliteration]]''.

A follow-up release to "Enslavement..." came in the form of the six song 12-inch EP "[[Mentally Murdered]]", which was to be the last recording with the Harris/Steer/Dorrian/Embury line-up. This EP was recorded at the Slaughterhouse Studios and took on a slightly different sound, blending [[grindcore]] with [[death metal]]. Following the release, Napalm Death were featured on national television in the United Kingdom in a heavy metal special by Arena (BBC 2).

The band continued to tour, but as soon as they came back home from [[Japan]], in July 1989, Steer and Dorrian left the band: Steer decided to dedicate himself full-time to Carcass, while Dorrian formed the [[doom metal]] group [[Cathedral (band)|Cathedral]]. The group recruited [[Jesse Pintado]] (ex-[[Terrorizer]]) on guitar and [[Barney Greenway|Mark "Barney" Greenway]] (ex-[[Benediction (band)|Benediction]]) as vocalist. This line-up took part in the Grindcrusher tour organised by Earache Records and featuring fellow label-mates Carcass, [[Bolt Thrower]] and [[Morbid Angel]]. The group recruited [[Mitch Harris]] (ex-Righteous Pigs) as second guitarist after the tour.
