Editing Napalm Death (section)

===Departure from Earache and the departure of Pintado (2000–2004)===
The band acrimoniously departed from Earache Records following ''[[Words from the Exit Wound]]'' and later, on 25 September 2000, released ''[[Enemy of the Music Business]]'' on the record label Dream Catcher. The album demonstrated the band's anger with the music industry and Earache in particular, whilst also incorporating a greater grindcore influence than on their previous few albums. The album was produced jointly by [[Simon Efemey]] and [[Russ Russell]], the latter of whom has since been a long-time collaborator with Napalm Death.

''[[Order of the Leech]]'', released on 21 October 2002, continued the previous album's style, with production credits again shared by Efemey and Russell. In 2003, Embury and Hererra formed the side-project [[Venomous Concept]] with Kevin Sharp and [[Buzz Osborne]], and that group has since released four albums.<ref>Aswad, Jem & Christie, Ian "[http://trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=napalm_death Napalm Death]", ''[[Trouser Press]]''.

It contains covers of old [[hardcore punk]] and [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] bands, including [[Cryptic Slaughter]], [[Massacre (metal band)|Massacre]], [[Kreator]], [[Sepultura]], [[Siege (band)|Siege]] and [[Discharge (band)|Discharge]]. Due to personal problems, [[Jesse Pintado]] did not play on either ''Order of the Leech'' or ''Leaders Not Followers: Part 2'', and left the band in early 2004. Nevertheless, Pintado stated that he left because he grew tired of Napalm Death and wanted to start something new.
