psn Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) I was digging through the basement the other day and found the Scorn poster from their 1992 Norwegian tour with Cadaver, signed by all three members of both bands. Cool story, how were the Immortal guys weird, other then just drunk? Wasn't it their cup of tea so to speak? I don't think they came to the show even, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't their cup of tea. They were very introvert, theatric, had that whole "elite" and dramatic BM pose going already back then, and in private as well. I caught Scorn again in 1994 when James Plotkin was in the band. At that time Mick had stopped being on stage, he was standing in the mixer's booth next to the engineer while Nic and James were on stage. I think James was sitting, and I remember Nic's graphical EQ on his bass amp formed a straight line from the boosted bass frequencies to the attenuated treble.

awepittance Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 that's awesome, you're lucky you got to see Scorn live. The only time i had an opportunity was for an Invisible Records tour back in '98. He was supposed to play right after Not Breathing, and instead of Mick coming on stage it was a leather-jacket spiked haired Martin Atkins who then announced that Mick's wife just gave birth and he was taking the next flight back to England.

kichiguy Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 great fucking set. no one can scratch my itch like scorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) thanks for posting that. I wonder if any video exists of his earlier live shows where he would switch off with someone else playing live dubbed out drums to sampler loops. this would be back around 1995-1998 Edited July 30, 2013 by John Ehrlichman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-a-m-o Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Time to revive this thread. It's pretty hard to keep up to date with his multiple projects, just discovered that he released a Fret album in late 2022 He regularly publishes new music on his bandcamp 2022 Lull album He was talking about a project with Shane Embury and Justin Broadrick, this should be good... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejewk Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Not heard this guy's stuff before, beyond what he did on the early Napalm Death records. Some good stuff, going for a deep dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 the early Scorn records when Nik was still around are something else. they scratch an itch few other sounds can. dub metal or something.

Yes early Scorn is quite different from the later solo stuff, Evanescence is such a classic album ! Don't know what's up with Ohm Resistance but he has an ongoing beef with sleaford mods and the whole "press the button and do the cunt dance" thing is hilarious IMO Edited February 11 by d-a-m-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danshoebridge Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Good god he really needs to get off Twitter. I always pictured Mick Harris as some sage-like bearded mystic, too absorbed in the resonance and distortion on his snare sound to be bothered with worldly affairs. Instead here he is all-caps ranting about vegans, dole scroungers and 'the woke', interspersed with pictures of his unappetising barbeque creations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-a-m-o Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Yes, the occasional rants about modular/vegan/analog were fun a few years back but he's posting 24/7 about it nowadays, I mean I don't give a fuck about that sleaford mods cunt but it's a bit sad to see a 56 years old man wasting time with such things... edit : yeah ok just checked his X account, he needs help...

splesh Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I was going to shout out how overlooked his drumfunk/jungle project Quoit is but damn... sad to see someone who's made such great music and with such a radical bent go this way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 all that bullshit aside... I wonder if any sample-spotters can say where the sample in the track Channel (off the Plan B album) comes from? the one of the guy saying "I don't care what anyone thinks of me, I know what I am, I know who I am, and I know what I do, and I can assure you, whatever I do, I do it better than you do it" guessing it must be obscure.
