Extended info

Mick Harris' first album with Nick Bullen as Scorn produced a debut that was perfectly appropriate for its label home on Earache. Perhaps an oversimplification, but Vae Solis is notable for partially being a last working out of Harris' death/thrash jones in a slightly more conventional sense — not entirely a throwback, but certainly one with its moments. Here, Bullen's roaring vocals have an obvious kinship with Justin Broadrick's snarls from Godflesh (all the more fitting since Broadrick contributes guitars to the album); the sense of ambient space that would grow stronger and stronger here turns up mostly as occasional dropouts in the mix or slabs of echo and reverb slathered over the words. One notable exception is "Deep In — Eaten Over and Over," with a truly funereal pace and a suffused sense of dread and murk. Comparisons at the time to the early groan and doom efforts of Swans, for instance, were well considered. Scorn's obsessive focus on structure and pounding drumbeats also suggests another close parallel — Robert Hampson, similarly shifting gears in the early '90s from Loop's rampages to Main's rhythm-is-rhythm portraits. Clattering extra percussion samples herald "Walls of My Heart" and crop up in "On Ice"; at the same time, there are quicker thrash moments like the start of "Hit," which — while hardly Napalm Death hyperspeed — still show a lingering connection to older approaches. Song titles convey the basic thematic obsessions — again, not all that far removed from Godflesh: "Suck and Eat You," "Thoughts of Escape," "Scum After Death." Then there's what was a single from the album, though "Lick Forever Dog" probably wasn't going to trip off the tongues of many DJs. Still, it's one of the better songs, Bullen's vocals more direct and less treated over a pretty good death-march herky-jerky arrangement.

Napalm Death эпохи первой стороны Scum. Хотя, по большому счету, практически ничего из эпохи грайнд-кора здесь нет. Несомненно, в Spasm, Suck and Eat You или Hit можно найти определенные скрежещущие параллели с такой песней как Multinational Corporations или с Evolved As One, Harmony Corruption более поздней эпохи Напалмовой смерти. Иногда мне кажется, что даже такие перлы как Discordance, I Abstain с первого послехаррисовского альбома Utopia Banished также не обошлись без мыслевлияния Мика Харриса, потому как звучат они очень близко к дебютнику Scorn.
К сожалению (и к счастью - тоже) Scorn как замедленная индустриализованная версия Napalm Death просуществовал всего ничего, медленно и верно мутируя в электронно-эмбиентный проект. Но... оставил след в виде рассматриваемого (расслушиваемого) альбома и указал путь (вернее, как Ленин, осветил) многим бандам, взявшим в качестве жизненной позиции скрещивание экстремальных форм металла, индустриальной музыки и выпуск генномодифицированных КД с результатами собственных умственно-музыкальных испражнений.

странные тэги. мне показалось, чем-то на Skin Chamber смахивает. или нет... типа индастриел дум или как там...

а, вообще, не прут меня ни одни, ни вторые. нет жести, нет ярости. и звучит как в подвале. фу
