Two artists have used the name Scorn:

1. Electronic / Dub / Experimental outfit fronted by Mick Harris (and from 1992 to 1994, Nik Bullen).
Since 1994 Scorn has been the one-man project of former Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris. Musically, much of the output has been minimalist beats with an emphasis on very deep basslines, often resembling dub and trip-hop in structure. Despite these resemblances, Scorn is often associated with industrial and experimental music, and is considered a rare example of a successful industrial/downtempo crossover artist. Scorn is recorded in Mick Harris’ home studio, “the box”. Prior to the release Gyral, Scorn was a two man project with Harris and bassist/vocalist Nicholas Bullen. In fact, the first Scorn album, Vae Solis, featured a reunion of the three members of the original Napalm Death line up: Harris, Bullen, and Justin Broadrick, who played session guitars. Early Scorn had a very dubby, metal sound. Bullen was ejected from the band after a personal incident with Harris’ friend, and Harris changed the focus of the band to what it is known now.

Mick Harris has also recorded several albums as Lull.
A more minimalistic approach, where he is developing and exploring sound without beats.

2. Scorn is the name of a member of the Black Metal band Katharsis, alongside Drakh and M.K.

And I really cannot go without asking exactly how the use of atonal and deconstructionalist tendencies in a brutal death/grind band makes them pyschadelic in nature...these qualities in music in no way only apply to psychadelia and have been around way longer then concept of psychadelic music itself. Look at classical atonal composers for just one example...

Um dudes...Naplan Death DEFINITELY existed before Scorn...and I don't care if you talked to the dude and he told you his influences (the dude that isn't Mick Harris) and they're similar to the butthole surfers music.....they're maybe in inter-relating genres but cmon the bands do not sound anything alike. They both are doing their own thing thats great, don't get me wrong, but its a farrrr stretch in my opinion to draw connections between these two. And as far as making it an "electronica" thing, I beleive Mick Harris did that, not disocyst, when Mick Harris went that direction with his music. Granted the earlier material is definitely of the nature you describe, its unfair to the artist to consider it a whole 'nother project after "Evanessence" if the artist did not consider this change himself. Thats why he recorded under "Lull", that was a different project, you have to let the artist's work speak for itself, not your knowledge of how different artists can fit into the same genres

How can an artist as crucial as Scorn, in all its forms, be so underappreciated? When will Harris's darkness be brought to the light?

it's cool, you're just trying to keep it an electronica thing in your mind. i've conversed with bullen.. his points of reference were killing joke, joy division, birthday party, pil, swans, etc.. post-punk/industrial groups. they're a late 80's early 90's amalgam of thrash/hardcore punk/post-punk/industrial influences.. noise rock, heavily industrial in nature, psychedelic punk rock overall. buttholes were born of the same lineage but with more of an american lilt, less sequenced. i mean whatever believe what you want, but...
