awepittance Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 RLR11 - Scorn - In the Margins / Pin Down Scorn was created by Mick Harris in 1991. Mick Harris, originally the drummer for seminal death metal band Napalm Death, first started making music with Nik Bullen. When Scorn was first formed it was a strange hybrid of sounds that were described by some as 'ambient metal'. Scorn made 3 albums in this style: Deliverance, Vae Solis, and Colossus. Nik Bullen left Scorn after the album 'Evanescence' in 1994. At the release of 'Evanescence', Scorn had made a distinct shift in musical direction; no more metal elements could be found and it had instead delved deep into a new dubbed-out territory. While it somewhat resembled instrumental dub influenced electronic music, it was lacking the generic 808 synth heavy 'ambient dub' genre elements that were prevalent at that time. Scorn's take on dub was much darker, and had very little in common with reggae or 'chill out' music. In a very short period of time following Evanescence, Scorn had manufactured some of the deepest, loudest sub bass tones ever recorded. Incorporating more elements of instrumental rap and hip hop into his dub, sound Scorn released a series of hypnotic low frequency laced head nodding music, Gyral (1996), Logghi Barogghi (1996), and Zander (1997). In 2000, Scorn dropped the 'Greetings from Birmingham' album, which many point to as having a sweeping influence on the future genre of Dubstep; its gurgling distorted sub bass lines and staggered snare drums were an utterly new sound for dub influenced recordings. Next was 'Plan B' and 'Stealth,' both heavy hitters surely destined to destroy a lot of speakers. The 2 tracks contained on ‘In the Margins’ show that Mick Harris/Scorn is still on top of his game, exceeding the in your face impact of other dubstep and grime heavy hitters (although don't tell Mick Harris this because he doesn't like the term dubstep nor does he listen to any). Fun fact: it took 4 different master acetate records to properly cut the massive bass energy Scorn produced, the first 3 attempts the grooves were so wide that the needle would jump off the vinyl, so we are extremely excited yet relieved that this record has finally seen the light of day. limited to 500 copies, individually numbered on clear coke bottle vinyl in a full color sleeve with photography by Mick Harris aka Scorn order from our webstore hereIn the Margins (clip) Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag Pin Down (clip) digital mp3 and flac version will be available soon*because of how long this record has been in hiatus and how long we have been taking preorders we have already sold about 2/3rds our stock so please order fast if you want to be sure to get a copy, we're not even sure if many distributors are going to have a chance to get any.

awepittance Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 just got a copy of this....says 45 RPM on the jacket, but it sounds better at 33.3 .. looks great, sounds great, nice job... hah yeah what happened was the place pressing it finished the jackets long before the vinyl was actually made. I planned to have it cut at 45rpm, but they tried to do it that way 3 times and failed so it had to be done at 33.3. So in short yes this record is supposed to be 33.3 rpm Also thanks for the not breathing it was a great 12". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
