Review by Ridiculoid May 23, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)

referencing Vae Solis, CD, Album, MOSH 54 CD

Great first album by Scorn, but don't expect your steady dose of minimal electronic beats here. In its first incarnation, Scorn was a pummeling Industrial Metal machine in which both Nik Bullen and Mick Harris had the same specific weight. Add Justin Broadrick's (Godflesh, amongst a myriade of projects) detuned guitar assault and you get an idea of the content on this disc. The first half is more straight forward Industrial sound, very metal, but as the record advances the sound widens up and gets kinda eerie, leaving space for some Dark Ambient and Dub references. Still, it's far from the later/Mick Harris solo incarnation of the project, but it is a milestone for all fans of the british Industrial sound from the first half of the 90's, and a really good record on its own.
