 This inquiry is inwards reference to a previous band on your roster Scorn on Earache 1992-1996
Question from C (Pitchshifter93@hotmail.com) :

Hello, Dig. This inquiry is inwards reference to a previous band on your roster,
Scorn. Scorn apace became a favorite band of mine, unfortunately later on the
closing of the band. While glancing at the wikipedia article during my
general exposure to the band, I noticed that it was stated that later on the
release of 'Logghi Barroghi' Scorn parted ways alongside earache. My apologies
for the long intro; my inquiry is every bit follows: Would it live possible for you
to come inwards the reasoning behind Scorn leaving Earache? I read this blog
quite regularly together with I bring withal to honor the answer to this intriguing
question. I attain realize that every bit you lot previously stated inwards a weblog entry that
Earache was moving on from the Electronic scene together with focusing your attention
back to Metal together with it's various sub-genres. Would this live the Earth for the
departing of Scorn? I give thank you lot you for your fourth dimension together with consideration.

Answer: Scorn mainman Mick Harris finally together with officially unopen the mass on Scorn inwards Nov 2011, thus if they became your favourites inwards the lastly sixty days, that's pretty bad timing dude, because they were around, on together with off, for virtually precisely xx years. While on Earache Scorn released v albums together with iv EPs during a iv yr period, plus, I released Napalm Death records earlier that aswell. All inwards all, I spent some a decade supporting together with promoting Mick's musical endeavours across 2 radically various genres. Napalm Death was successful, Scorn less so. It was either a gutsy move, or sheer stupidity, depending on your indicate of view, to quit the exploding give-up the ghost metal/grind scene he to a greater extent than or less helped create, to explore the abstract/dub/experimental scene every bit Scorn instead. During the decade he was on the label he invented together with popularised 2 build novel genres of music - grindcore together with (proto)dubstep - that's non also shabby is it?

If you lot are seeking some variety of juicy even out to explicate the destination of Scorn on Earache, you're out of luck. The reality is far to a greater extent than mundane - later on a decade of dwindling sales, involvement just variety of fizzled out together with it became obvious it was fourth dimension for everyone to movement on.

Minimalist, abstract, bass-heavy, muddied electronic music was just non a thriving scene at that time. Scorn had null inwards mutual alongside the commercial trip the low-cal fantastic toe scene which was booming inwards Britain clubs past times the mid-90s, nor did it jibe inwards alongside the college/hipster crowd who were all into Apex Twin /Warp records. If anything Scorn was nearest to the together with then hole-and-corner jungle/drum & bass scene which was to a greater extent than oft than non promoted on pirate radio together with at illegal raves. I mentioned inwards a previous weblog posting how Earache constitute it hard to marketplace put together with promote this music, nosotros are a Rock/Metal label later on all.

Here's 'Nut' from Scorn's concluding CD for the label, 1996's 'Logghi Barogghi'- thus named later on Mick overheard an American tourist mispronounce the town of Loughborough, which he idea hilarious.



In 1997 Scorn released the follow upwards album 'Zander' for novel label Invisible Records (label of Martin Atkins, ex-Pil & NIN drummer). In my see the opening vocal Twitcher displayed the most fell bass good for over a decade, until the likes of modern-day dub-step producers similar Skream came along. It was thus far ahead of its time, its positively scary. Plug your sub-woofers inwards together with lookout your walls crumble to this:



If you lot fancy to a greater extent than bass-quakers, heres my faves inwards a Spotify playlist
