Yea not soon enuff big up Lone Wolf you are well on your way to the dark mountain of dub.

[lone wolf]

Cheers guys. More heavy tuneage on it's way.

"Skull Fucked With My Sword" is being layered at the minute

The race is on for BLACK METAL STEP......Finnish and Norway crew where u at?

i can see Burzum, emporer & dark throne quit burning churches & get into dubstep.

maybe ask Sunn o))) to do some halfstep loefah style tunes also

Aside from Burzum's Nationalistic leanings, his ambient stuff is really droney and could use some step behind it for sure.

yer that mix on radio1 a few weeks ago by vex'd they opened the set with a Sunn o))) track.

i allways had the idea of dropping some half-step beat over some drone like sunn o)))'s tunes, i think it would sound so heavy.

also a bit off topic but i am going to see the kings of drone (sunn o))) in a months time in birmingham along side Isis

[samsupa]

Nice I just saw Jesu and Isis man good show.

[horse]

check out the track "grist", last track on drumcorps album of the same name.

thats is disgustingly heavy, properly fucked up tune. but still. it mixes into the harder end of the dubstep sound with ease

[composite_human]

[stormfield]

uploaded some new sound samples to the virb player..

Its very heavy breakcore over death metal

someone on another forum was saying that scorn practically invented dubstep. I'm not familiar with the guy's work. what do y'all think?

[sprash]

Yes, Nic Bullen (ex-Scorn) credited Mick Harris as inventing dubstep.... [http://www.avalanchers.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=575]

.... and when I asked Mick about what he thinks about Scorn and dubstep, his comment was that he does what he does, never 'fitted' Scorn into any genres or 'fashions' and nor will he ever do that..... RESPECT to the man!

Nicholas Bullen Wrote:
I don't have a problem with The Wire either...

It serves a purpose (to mention new releases and to provide background information on artists via overviews of their recordings and interviews), and it does that relatively well...

It is deinitely true that the magazine is prone to having dominant 'trends' develop within the journalism (examples from recent times would be their discovery of 'extreme metal' and the pushing of the 'free folk outsider' artists)...however, it is perhaps an inevitable result of the medium in its current context...and it is fairly easy to recognise the bias and discount it in orser to get to the actual information...
An example would be the Burial album as their Number One choice - which is not only an example of their bias towards Britain (as meho points out) but also a bias towards London. On a personal level, I found the Burial album rather dull (I'm not particularly into cheesy harmonies on synth presets) but it's not reall that important. Anyway, Mick 'The Human Tornado' Harris invented Dubstep 10 years ago, and they didn't give him credit for it...
And - to be serious for a moment - who ever bothers with those 'Best of the Year' charts? They're just dull filler, aren't they? I usually read the December issue of The Wire in about 2 hours...

It can also be a little tiresome to be constantly bombarded by this idea that intelligent writing is 'overly intellectual' (as if being intellectual is some kind of negative element). On a persoanl level, I appreciate writing that is thoughtful, articulate, scholarly, erudite, exploratory and intertextual...and I particularly appreciate writing which makes demands on my own level of intelligence and encourages me to actively think...it's a pleasure, not a pain...

That guy comes across as incredibly bitter.

And Mick Harris didn't invent dubstep. It's an incredibly obvious sonic connection, but just as obviously completely unconnected to anything or anyone that actually helped the scene develop.

I would also suggest that if he wants anything he writes about 'scholarly' writing to be taken seriously, he should invest in a spell checker. Maybe a special, intertextual spellchecker to challenge his mighty intellect.

Hey, easy man. I quoted nic Bullen out of a completely different discussion on the Wire magazine. Obviously this was somewhat out of context... so if you're interested follow the thread I linked earlier.

To Mick's defense, he has never claimed to have invented dubstep (Nic was making that claim) --- yes Mick's the guy who has always pushed sonic boundaries and Scorn has never belonged to any one genre.. how different is Vae Solis from say Plan B?!
I daresay he has always been 5-10 years ahead of his time...

.... also Scorn's influence is very apparent in the 'dubstep' scene.... and I can see how dubstep was spawned from his sound and others....

[stormfield]

Scorn's always sounded like Scorn... though some of his beats can be easily mixed with tracks by Komonazmuk & White Boi, Vex'd, Distance, Tes la Rok, ScanOne, Blackmass, Elemental, Reso and more... quite handy

On a side note, has anyone checked out his dark ambient project "Lull"? Deep, subtle nightmarish atmospheres, brilliant if you're into that sort of thing.

He also did a few industrial techno tracks as "Monrella."

what the fuck is that all about?

I know, I'm a big mick harris fan.. his music anyway. That chap you quoted comes across as completely up his own arse though still. Overconfidence and self importance combined total ignorance isn't brilliant.

Naaah.. Compared to Horsepower/Ghost Trax etc Scorn had next to nothing to do with spawning dubstep, no matter how much Plan B might sound similar.

huh? how easily you judge people? While I don't necessarily agree with his views, he is obviously entitled to his own opinions just as you are to yours. Splel chcekers?! Sheesh...Grow up!

The link is obvious to at least my ears....

Actually burial didn't cut it for me either.... I prefer more angry beats like those from White boi, Vex'd etc...

Agreed 100%.

Lull is fantastic...pure darkness. We might have a new Lull either this year or next. We might also have Mick playing in painkiller again
