Closely allied with postindustrial dub terrorists such as Bill Laswell, Techno Animal, James Plotkin, Robert Musso, and Anton Fier, Birmingham-based artist Mick Harris is something of a subject area in extremes. A drummer with noted death metal outfit Napalm Death through the group's late-'80s/early-'90s efflorescence, Harris began experimenting with black and white ambient and dub styles toward the tail end of his association with that group. Releasing corporeal through Earache as Scorn (his ambient dub egis) and through Sentrax as Lull, in addition to former sporadic projects, his genre-spanning activities wealthy person done a great deal to jar the minds, expectations, and record collections of audiences previously unbroken sharply opposed. To the represent, Scorn and Lull, along with John Zorn's observational jazz-dubcore getup Painkiller cause remained Harris' chief on-going projects, although one-off collaborations with the likes of James Plotkin, Nicholas Bullen, Bill Laswell, and Martyn Bates are common. Harris formed Scorn in 1991 in collaboration with bassist Nick Bullen, incorporating elements of ambient, industrial, dub, rock and roll, and hip-hop. The chemical group (though pared back to exactly Harris following Evanescence) have released a number of increasingly well-received full-length recordings, including the remix LP Ellipsis, which features outward reworkings by the likes of Coil, Autechre, Laswell, and Germ. Harris' solo form as Lull focuses on darker, more "isolationist" ambient soundscapes, some of which get been reissued domestically by Laswell's now-defunct Subharmonic imprint.
