Scorn was created by Mick Harris in 1991 to create rhythmic, hypnotic drum and bass music. Since its inception, with its throbbing low end, ethereal sounds and big beats, Scorn has explored previously uncharted musical territory and, in the process, has redefined the world of ambient dub.
In a very short period of time, Scorn has emerged as the vanguard of both the post-rock and isolationist aesthetics; appropriating such distinctly communal musics as hip-hop and dub to extreme, individualistic ends.
Nik Bullen left Scorn after the album "Evanescence" in 1994.
