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."
James Plotkin is an American guitarist and producer known for his role in bands such as Khanate and OLD but with an extensive catalogue outside these bands. He has played guitar for Phantomsmasher and Scorn and continues to remix tracks for bands such as KK Null, Nadja, Sunn O))), ISIS, Pelican and Earth. He works in the genres of grindcore, industrial metal, noise music, drone metal, dark ambient, digital hardcore and post-metal.
Vae Solis is the debut album by Scorn, originally released in 1992 on Earache in the UK, and Relativity in the United States. It features the same musician lineup as Side A of Napalm Death's Scum.
Colossus is the second album by Scorn, released in 1993 on Earache Records. It possesses elements of industrial and experimental music.
Scorn of the Women is the debut album by Australian rock band Weddings Parties Anything. The band originally recorded it as an independent release, but on the strength of the group's ever growing live following, the group ended up being offered a recording contract and the album was released by Warners. Eight songs were by Michael Thomas, three by Dave Steel, and one was an adaptation of a poem by Berthold Brecht.
Sacrifist is the second album of the Bill Laswell led project Praxis, released in 1993 on Laswell's label Subharmonic.
Evanescence is the third album by Scorn, originally released in 1994 on Earache Records. It was remastered along with its remix album and released as a two disc set in 2009. Evanescence is often associated with industrial and experimental music. Nic Bullen left Scorn in 1995 and the band continued on as an essentially solo project for Mick Harris.
Ellipsis is a remix album by Scorn, originally released in 1995 on Earache Records. It was remastered along with Evanescence and released as a two disc set in 2009.
Gyral is an album by Scorn, originally released in 1995 on Scorn Recordings. Nic Bullen left the group in 1995, so the project continued on as an essentially solo project for Mick Harris. As a result, much output since Gyral has been minimalist beats with an emphasis on very deep bass lines, often resembling dub and trip hop in structure.
Logghi Barogghi is the fifth album by Scorn, released on August 20, 1996 through Earache Records. The album's departure from the band's early sound eventually led to Mick Harris parting ways with Earache after its release, both sides apparently having been unhappy with how the project was being handled. After leaving Earache Records, Scorn kept pushing the dirty bass and heavy beat sound, subtly changing with each release.
Zander is the sixth album by Scorn, released on February 18, 1997 through KK Records. For Zander, the band kept pushing the dirty bass and heavy beat sound, subtly changing with each subsequent release. In May 1997, Mick Harris decided to end the band to finish relations with KK Records, and from 1997 to 1999, he was making music with other names and other musicians, until 2000, when returned with the band with the record company Hymen Records for Greetings from Birmingham.
Anamnesis is a compilation album by Scorn, released in 1999 on Invisible Records.
Greetings From Birmingham is the seventh album by Scorn, released in September 2000 through Hymen Records. In May 1997, following the release of Zander, Mick Harris decided to end the band to finish relations with KK Records, and from 1997 to 1999, he was making music with other names and other musicians, until 2000, when returned with the band with the record company Hymen Records for Greetings from Birmingham.
Plan B is the eighth album by Scorn, released in August 2002 through Hymen Records. In 2000, Mick Harris returned with the band with the record company Hymen Records for Greetings from Birmingham, but eventually Harris parted ways with Hymen in 2002 after the release of Plan B. The intervening years since saw a break in recorded output with live dates popping up periodically.
Stealth is the ninth album by Scorn, released on November 19, 2007 through Ohm Resistance. After a five-year absence, November 2007 saw the band return to the studio properly with this album.
Downwards Records is a record label founded by the techno DJs and producers Regis and Female in Birmingham, England in 1993. The label was initially established to release the set of tracks that fellow Birmingham DJ and producer Surgeon had recorded in the small studio that ex-Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris had built in his downstairs toilet.
The Only Place is an album by Scorn, released in 2021 by Ohm Resistance. Mick Harris commented "The album was made with the only place in mind where I can let go of all the hatred, anger, and darkness that are what fuel Scorn".
Cafe Mor is a studio album by Scorn, released in 2019 by Ohm Resistance. It was the first Scorn album in nine years, preceded by Refuse; Start Fires. The track "Talk Whiff" features Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods on vocals.
