Colossus is the second album by Scorn, released in 1993 on Earache Records. [3] [4] It possesses elements of industrial and experimental music. [5]
Trouser Press wrote that "Harris and Bullen back away from overkill on Colossus, loading on moody synth and distressing vocal samples to create an ominous modernist sound similar to God and Ice." [6] Perfect Sound Forever wrote: "Better than their awkward debut, and not as dance floor trend-following monotonous as they would later become, this is a pretty fine album from what is probably Earache's most widely respected band." [7]

Scorn is an English electronic music project. The group was formed in the early 1990s as a project of former Napalm Death members Mick Harris and Nic Bullen. Bullen left the group in 1995 and the project continued on until the end of 2011, as an essentially solo project for Harris. Harris restarted the project in 2019.
Michael John Harris is an English musician from Birmingham. He was the drummer for Napalm Death between 1985 and 1991, and is credited for coining the term "grindcore". After Napalm Death, Harris joined Painkiller with John Zorn and Bill Laswell. Since the mid-1990s, Harris has worked primarily in electronic and ambient music, his main projects being Scorn and Lull. He has also collaborated with musicians including James Plotkin and Extreme Noise Terror. According to AllMusic, Harris's "genre-spanning activities have done much to jar the minds, expectations, and record collections of audiences previously kept aggressively opposed."
